Driving in Saudi Arabia

Major international car rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Europcar operate in Saudi Arabia, available at airports and major cities. Daily rental costs typically range from 100 to 250 SAR depending on the vehicle type, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must hold a valid international or Saudi driving license and be at least 21 years old, though some companies require a minimum age of 25. Roads are generally in excellent condition with modern highways connecting cities, but desert driving requires caution. Parking is available in urban centers, often paid, with some free options in less busy areas. Tourists benefit from renting a car for exploring beyond cities, especially for desert excursions and visiting remote sites, as public transport outside major cities is limited. Renting a car is recommended for flexibility and convenience when traveling in Saudi Arabia.
