Car Rental for Events, Concerts and Exhibitions in Riyadh

Riyadh has become one of the busiest event cities in the region. Riyadh Season runs through the cooler months, and the city hosts concerts, football matches, exhibitions and international conferences all year. Visitors come from every Saudi city and from abroad, and a car makes it easy to get between your hotel, the venue and the rest of the city.

Plan around the venue

• Arrive early. Big events fill car parks and side roads one to two hours before the start.
• Use official parking and follow the event signs; parking on pavements or in residential streets can mean a fine or a tow.
• Check road closures on event nights, especially in north Riyadh, where many venues are.
• Save your parking spot with a photo or a pin on the map.

Choosing your rental period

• A single concert or match: daily rental in Riyadh from SAR 87 per day.
• A conference week or exhibition: weekly rental is usually cheaper than paying day by day.
• Exhibitors and event crews staying a month or more: monthly rental. Companies can also ask about Sajil for business.

Which branch is closest?

Many venues are in the north of the city, so the north branches are often the most convenient: Al Arid, Al Aqiq and Al Maseef. If your hotel is in the east or west, see east Riyadh and west Riyadh.

Which car?

• Business visitors: the Ford Taurus or Hyundai Elantra.
• Friends going together: the Kia Carnival, so everyone arrives in one car and you pay for one parking space.
• Easy parking: the Hyundai Grand i10 for tight spaces.

After the event

Leaving a big venue can take time. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the crowd to thin, stay patient at the exits, and never drive when tired. If you need to, leave the car parked and come back for it the next day.
