Top tips for hiring a car in Makkah

  • Car rentals in Makkah offer a variety of vehicles to select from if you’re unsure which vehicle is appropriate. However, the type of vehicle you choose will depend on the destinations you intend on driving to during your stay. For instance, an economy rental is more appropriate if you plan on driving within the city center and other nearby cities like Jeddah and Riyadh. This is because cities tend to be more crowded and have limited parking spaces. However, if you plan n going to off-road destinations like Jabal Thawr Mecca and Mount Arafat, a 4x4 rental is more suitable.
  • According to regulations, all children should be fastened to an appropriate child seat. This is regardless of whether you're in traffic or moving. Any child below the age of four must use a car seat. On the other hand, those between five to 10 are exempted from using a car seat but cannot use the front seat. You can acquire a child seat from your rental provider if you don’t have one. This will add an extra cost to your total renting costs.
  • Only nationals and permanent residents of Saudi Arabia can cross the border into the United Arab Emirates with Makkah car rentals. These include the freedom to drive in countries like Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar with no restrictions. You require prior written consent from your rental provider and a cross-border fee for the United Arab Emirates. Visitors in Makkah cannot cross the border into the United Arab Emirates and are only permitted to drive within the borders of Saudi Arabia.
  • Makkah has numerous car owners, so it can be competitive to find parking in the city, especially in the center. Moreover, you can find parking, but it is limited, so not just any type of rental is suitable for maneuvering in the center. While most parking is metered, on-street parking is free but limited to up to 4 hours.
