Renting a car in Saudi Arabia is easier than ever. Whether you are a citizen who needs a car for a few days, a resident looking for a monthly rental, or a visitor here for tourism or Umrah, this guide covers everything you need to choose the right car at the right price.
Why rent a car in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi cities are large and distances between districts are long, so a car is the easiest and most economical way to get around Riyadh, Al-Ahsa, Taif and other cities. The highways between cities are excellent, which makes road trips a great option for families and friends.
Which documents do you need?
- Citizens: national ID and a valid driving licence.
- Residents: a valid iqama and a valid driving licence.
- Visitors: passport, visa and a driving licence accepted in the Kingdom; an international driving permit may be needed.

- Daily rental: for short trips and quick visits.
- Weekly rental: a lower daily price when you need the car for several days.
- Monthly rental: the best value for a month or more, with packages of 1, 3, 6 and 9 months.
