Question 1

How much does a monthly car rental cost in Saudi Arabia?

Accepted Answer

In Saudi Arabia, the average cost of a car rental is $1,342 per month or $45 per day. However, always remember that the cost of your car rental in Saudi Arabia always depends on the type of car you rent and how long you rent that car for.

Question 2

Using a US driver's license in Saudi Arabia

Accepted Answer

For up to three months, you can drive a car in Saudi Arabia with an international driving permit and some national licenses; after that, you'll require a Saudi permit. There are several licenses that can be converted to a Saudi license without a driving test, such as those in the UK and the US. However, if you plan on booking a car rental in Saudi Arabia your International Driver’s Permit is necessary then.

Question 3

If I return my rental car early, will I receive a refund?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can return a car rental in Saudi Arabia early, but the terms and conditions outlined in your rental agreement will determine whether you will receive any refund or possibly face penalties for the early return.

Question 4

Can my car rental period get extended?

Accepted Answer

If you've decided to extend your car rental period (for example, if your rental has expired and you need to keep it for another week), you can do so. However, you might be allowed to keep the same vehicle, but if it's not, you'll have the choice of returning your car as intended and picking up another one.
