King Khalid International Airport (KKIA) lies about 35 km north of central Riyadh. Airport rental counters are convenient, but they usually charge an airport premium. Many travellers save by booking online and collecting the car from a city branch a short ride away.
The closest Sajil branches to the airport
Sajil does not have a desk inside the terminals. These branches are the nearest:
- Al Arid branch on King Abdulaziz Road, in the far north of the city.
- Al Aqiq branch on the King Fahd Road service road, near KAFD.
- Al Rimal branch in east Riyadh, convenient if you are staying in the east.
Our page for King Khalid International Airport shows the distance from the airport to each branch.
A simple plan for arrival day
- Book your car online before you fly and choose the branch above that is on your way.
- After landing, take a taxi or ride-hailing car from the terminal to the branch (usually 20 to 35 minutes, depending on traffic).
- Show your licence and ID, check the car with the staff and drive off.
If you land late at night, check the branch opening hours and plan the pickup for the next morning.
Returning the car before your flight
Return the car to the branch, then take a taxi to the terminal. Allow extra time: the airport road and the northern ring road are busy in the morning and late afternoon. A good rule is to leave the branch at least three hours before an international flight.
