Top tips for renting a car in Middle East

  • Most countries in the Middle East have a zero-tolerance policy on drink driving. This means if you plan to drive a hire car in one of these countries, you must avoid drinking alcohol entirely in the build-up to getting behind the wheel. If you are found to be over the blood alcohol level of 0% you will face prosecution, which can include a fine, driving suspension and possible imprisonment.
  • Whilst not all countries in the Middle East have set laws in place if you’re travelling with a child in the car, it’s good practice to ensure your child is restrained if they are below 12 years old or weigh less than 18 kg. In the UAE, for example, children up to four years of age must be in a child seat by law. If you do not adhere to this then you will be fined and have points added to your licence. You can discuss the child seat laws of your destination country with your car hire provider, who should also be able to provide you with suitable seating.
  • You won’t be able to cross the border between all Middle Eastern countries, but some do permit travel between them. For example, you can typically cross between Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Oman and Jordan. If you wish to travel between two countries then you must get written permission from your agency before you do so; otherwise. your insurance will be invalid. You must also have a valid visa to enter each country. Be sure to have your driving licence and car hire documents with you too.
  • The Middle East is a vast and spacious area that can get very rural when you’re not near major cities. With this in mind, if you are planning a long trip then you should ensure that you have a full tank of petrol, as petrol stations in rural areas are few and far between. Most of the petrol stations are located either in major cities or on main motorways.

  • Should I hire a car in the Middle East?

    Hiring a car in the Middle East is a great way to explore your surroundings. Not only does a hire car allow you to come and go as you please and travel directly to your destination, but it also enables you to reach more rural parts of the region, which isn’t always possible with public transport. The Middle East is relatively unknown in terms of tourism, but with its popularity growing there are more and more must-see places that you can visit. With a hire car, you’ll be able to visit stunning locations such as the Inland Sea in Qatar and Jebel Shams mountain peak in Oman.

  • What is driving like in the Middle East?

    Driving in the Middle East can be quite nerve-wracking for inexperienced drivers. Whilst the roads in more established countries such as Saudi Arabia and UAE are relatively well-maintained, you will find that in countries such as Yemen, the roads are far less smooth. In all the Middle Eastern countries there is a lot of off-road driving too, such as on desert roads, where routes are barely maintained. Driving can also be quite erratic compared to the UK, so you should drive with confidence at all times. Signage is good between major cities, but the more rural you get the more likely you are to need a sat nav. Most Middle Eastern countries drive on the right-hand side of the road too, which is opposite to the UK.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in the Middle East?

    The minimum age to hire a car in the Middle East varies depending on the country you are in and the agency you are using. For example, to hire a car in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, you must be 21 years of age, whereas in Oman, you must be 25 years of age. Almost all companies will have a young person’s surcharge for drivers who are younger than 25, and there are normally also age restrictions on the type of vehicle you are hiring.
