Top tips for renting a car in Middle East

  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Middle East for C$ 33 or less
  • Book your rental car in Middle East at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in Middle East are around 79% cheaper than other car types, on average
  • Many Middle Eastern countries, especially those with extensive road networks and urban centers, are suitable for travel with a two-wheel-drive automobile. These vehicles are often more economical and fuel-efficient, making them a viable option for city driving and short intercity trips on well-maintained highways. However, a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle is highly recommended if your travel plans include visiting more remote or difficult areas, such as deserts or hilly regions. Choosing a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle when considering car rentals in Middle East is safer and more reliable because of its superior traction and stability on rough surfaces.
  • Child safety regulations regarding car seats in the Middle East can vary from country to country, but several common guidelines are often followed. In many Middle Eastern countries, children up to around 4 years of age and weighing around 20 to 40 lb must be strapped securely in child safety seats in the car's backseat section. Children aged from around 3 to 6 years old or who weigh around 35 to 55 lb should be secured in forward-facing car seats with a restraint. Children aged up to around 12 years old and with a weight ranging from about 50 to 80 lb should use booster seats in car rentals in Middle East.
  • Before embarking on a cross-border journey in Middle East car rentals, there are a number of essential fees and documentation requirements to consider. The costs vary significantly from one country to another, and they include visa fees, road taxes, insurance surcharges, and customs duties. Moreover, documentation requirements generally include written permission from the car rental company to take the vehicle across international borders, a valid passport, visas for all the countries you intend to visit, a credit card, insurance coverage, and an international driving permit (IDP). It's essential to thoroughly research and prepare for these costs and documentation requirements well in advance to ensure a smooth trip when crossing borders in the Middle East.
  • The Middle East region features an extensive network of major toll roads facilitating trade and travel across its diverse countries. One of the most popular toll roads in the region is the Dubai-Abu Dhabi Highway (Sheikh Zayed Road), which spans the United Arab Emirates. Another major toll highway is the King Fahd Causeway, linking Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Some of the other toll roads in the region include the Trans-Israel Highway (Route 6) and Turkey's Osmangazi Bridge and Highway. Generally, the toll payments on these roads are collected electronically through electronic toll collection systems, making it convenient for drivers.
