Not every trip is a round trip. You might be moving to a new city, flying home from somewhere else, or simply not want to drive 800 km back. A one-way rental lets you pick up a car in one city and return it at a branch in another.
Where you can go one way with Sajil
Sajil has branches in four cities, so these are the main one-way routes:
- Riyadh to Al-Ahsa and back. See Riyadh to Al-Ahsa by car.
- Riyadh to Taif and back, a long cross-country drive. See Riyadh to Jeddah and Makkah via Taif.
- Riyadh to Dawadmi and back, about three hours west. See car rental in Dawadmi.
- Between Al-Ahsa, Taif and Dawadmi.
Inside Riyadh you can also return to a different Riyadh branch, which is handy if you pick up near home and drop off near work.
How to book a one-way rental
- On the booking form, choose your pickup branch and dates.
- Choose "return to a different branch" and pick the branch in the other city.
- The fee between cities, if any, is added and shown before you confirm, so the total has no surprises.
- Pay online and pick up as usual.
When one-way saves money
- You save the drive back: fuel, a day of your time and the kilometres. See rental car mileage limits.
- Moving cities: drive your boxes to the new city in a big car such as the Kia Carnival, then return it there.
- Combining car and plane or train: drive one way and fly or take the train back.
Compare the one-way fee with the cost of driving back yourself; for long routes like Riyadh to Taif, one-way is often the better deal.
Tips for a smooth one-way trip
- Check the opening hours of the return branch in our working hours page, so you arrive while it is open.
- Refuel to the level you received before you return.
- Plan long highway legs with breaks; see highway driving in Saudi Arabia.
