Good to know
Age requirements for rentals can vary by company (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Saudi Arabia may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
Add a car seat to your Jeddah car hire reservation if you're bringing the kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest option.
You'll need to bring a few things when collecting your rental car: a valid driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards usually aren't accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
Driving in Saudi Arabia may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 70kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
Saudi Arabia has a zero-tolerance policy for drinking and driving. Keep the car parked and find another way to travel if your plans involve alcohol.
Around 7am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.
The Saudi Riyal (SAR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with a card when it's possible, and keep a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.
