Doha car hires from $36

Large, four-wheel-drive vehicles are very popular in Doha and, as fuel is cheap, many drivers happily use them even in the city centre. If you plan to go off-road (and there are many places around Doha to do this), a four-wheel-drive makes a lot of sense when choosing your car hire in Doha. Otherwise, if you plan on staying on roads and highways, you may prefer a smaller, more flexible car. Although fuel economy may be less of a concern in Qatar than elsewhere, environmentally conscious drivers may prefer vehicles with more moderate fuel consumption.

The urban speed limit is 60 km/h, which goes up to 100 km/h on rural roads and 120 km/h on highways. Speed cameras are installed on most main roads, so you should take care to maintain legal speed limits at all times.

There are several car parks in Doha. Banana Parking and MIA Parking are both open 24h but most others have a closing time. Street parking is possible but not always available, and it is illegal to "reserve" street parking by placing some kind of item on the street.
