Top tips for renting a car in Yemen
- Car rentals in Yemen provide an excellent option for exploring this Middle East nation. Yemen has limited public transportation coverage, so renting a car is the most convenient option to get to various parts of the country. Start your journey in the capital city, Sana'a, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its unique architecture, or drive to Taiz, one of Yemen's largest cities known for its historical significance and picturesque landscapes.
- Roads in Yemen are generally not in a great state. The best roads you can find are within the capital Sana’a, from Ta’izz to Mokha and from Sana’a to Haradh, Hajjah, and Ta’izz. Most roads in Yemen have a single carriageway. The only roads with a dual carriageway include the stretch from Sheikh Othman to Port of Aden and the Sana’a Ring Road. Driving at night is not recommended since most roads have no street lights and the state of the roads.
- You may encounter different hazards when driving on roads in both urban and rural areas of Yemen. Unwary pedestrians crossing the road frequently with disregard for oncoming traffic, children, and animals that cross the road without warning are the common hazards you’ll likely encounter on both urban and rural roads in Yemen. Slow down as you approach major cities or places with human traffic, and always watch out for these hazards.
- If your itinerary involves trips outside major Yemeni cities and towns, consider renting a four-wheel drive vehicle, an SUV, or any other car with high ground clearance. Car rentals in Yemen have a selection of vehicles, so consider a four-wheel drive that matches all your needs. You can pick one from multiple car rental locations spread across Sana’a, Ta’izz, and Aden.
