Car Rental for Riyadh Region Towns: Al Kharj, Al Majmaah, Shaqra, Al Zulfi and More

The Riyadh region is much bigger than the capital. Thousands of people live in towns like Al Kharj, Al Majmaah or Shaqra and drive to Riyadh for work, study, hospital visits or shopping, while others come from the capital to visit family. Sajil has ten branches in Riyadh and one in Dawadmi, so most towns in the region have a branch within a reasonable drive.

Which branch is closest to your town?

• Al Kharj (about 80 km south): the east and south-east Riyadh branches such as Al Fayhaa and Al Naseem are on your side of the city.
• Al Majmaah and Al Zulfi (north): start from a north Riyadh branch like Al Arid, right on the way out of the city.
• Huraymila and Diriyah (north-west): Wadi Laban or the north branches.
• Shaqra, Al Quwayiyah and Afif (west): the Dawadmi branch is often closer than Riyadh. Read car rental in Dawadmi.
• Al Aflaj and Wadi Al Dawasir (south): a long drive, so most people combine pick-up with a trip to the capital.

Commuting to Riyadh every day?

A daily drive of 80 to 200 km wears out a private car quickly. Many commuters prefer monthly rental in Riyadh, which starts from SAR 1,853 per month, because they don't have to deal with maintenance or registration and can ask for help if something goes wrong with the car. Choose an economical sedan such as the Hyundai Accent or Toyota Yaris.

Visiting family for a weekend or Eid

For a few days, daily rental from SAR 87 per day is simplest. For a whole week of visits, compare the weekly price. Large families should look at the 7-seat Geely Okavango or the Kia Carnival.

Driving between the towns

• The highways north to Al Majmaah and Qassim and south to Al Kharj are fast and busy; keep to the limit, as cameras are common.
• Farm roads around the towns can have slow tractors and animals, especially at dawn and dusk.
• Fill up in the town before heading into the desert on smaller roads.
