Top tips for renting a car in Middle East

  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Middle East for C$ 36 or less
  • Standard rental cars in Middle East are around 81% cheaper than other car types, on average
  • Many Middle Eastern countries, especially those with extensive road networks and urban centers, are suitable for travel with a two-wheel-drive automobile. These vehicles are often more economical and fuel-efficient, making them a viable option for city driving and short intercity trips on well-maintained highways. However, a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle is highly recommended if your travel plans include visiting more remote or difficult areas, such as deserts or hilly regions. Choosing a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle when considering car rentals in Middle East is safer and more reliable because of its superior traction and stability on rough surfaces.
  • Child safety regulations regarding car seats in the Middle East can vary from country to country, but several common guidelines are often followed. In many Middle Eastern countries, children up to around 4 years of age and weighing around 20 to 40 lb must be strapped securely in child safety seats in the car's backseat section. Children aged from around 3 to 6 years old or who weigh around 35 to 55 lb should be secured in forward-facing car seats with a restraint. Children aged up to around 12 years old and with a weight ranging from about 50 to 80 lb should use booster seats in car rentals in Middle East.
  • Before embarking on a cross-border journey in Middle East car rentals, there are a number of essential fees and documentation requirements to consider. The costs vary significantly from one country to another, and they include visa fees, road taxes, insurance surcharges, and customs duties. Moreover, documentation requirements generally include written permission from the car rental company to take the vehicle across international borders, a valid passport, visas for all the countries you intend to visit, a credit card, insurance coverage, and an international driving permit (IDP). It's essential to thoroughly research and prepare for these costs and documentation requirements well in advance to ensure a smooth trip when crossing borders in the Middle East.
  • The Middle East region features an extensive network of major toll roads facilitating trade and travel across its diverse countries. One of the most popular toll roads in the region is the Dubai-Abu Dhabi Highway (Sheikh Zayed Road), which spans the United Arab Emirates. Another major toll highway is the King Fahd Causeway, linking Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Some of the other toll roads in the region include the Trans-Israel Highway (Route 6) and Turkey's Osmangazi Bridge and Highway. Generally, the toll payments on these roads are collected electronically through electronic toll collection systems, making it convenient for drivers.

Some of the region's attractions you'll explore with a rental car include the Dubai Fountain, Burj Khalifa, and Masada National Park.

  • What is driving like in the Middle East?

    The driving experience in the Middle East can be both exhilarating and challenging. The region's vast landscapes offer a diverse range of driving environments, from the bustling streets of cosmopolitan cities like Dubai and Riyadh to the endless desert highways of Saudi Arabia and the rugged mountain roads of Oman. Drivers in the Middle East often experience the thrill of cruising down the region's well-maintained, wide highways, offering a sense of freedom and speed. However, navigating through city traffic can be chaotic, with a mix of aggressive drivers, haphazard lane changes, a penchant for speeding, and often unpredictable road etiquette.

  • How old do you have to be to rent a car in the Middle East?

    The minimum age requirement to rent a car in the Middle East is commonly 21 years old. It's important to note that some car rental providers may subject drivers under the age of 25 to higher rental rates and vehicle class restrictions. You should make a prior inquiry about the age requirements and policies of the rental company and the country you intend to visit. Moreover, you should have a valid driver's license.
