Top tips for hiring a car at Kuwait City airport

  • When landing at Kuwait City Airport (KWI), the last thing you want to do is waste time figuring out public transportation or waiting for a taxi. A car rental at Kuwait City Airport makes it easy to rent a car right at the airport, so you can hit the ground running. Not only is it convenient, but it allows you to have your own set of wheels so you can explore Kuwait at your own pace. Also, it can be more cost-effective than other transportation options, especially if you're planning on making a lot of stops or traveling long distances.
  • There are several car rental companies at Kuwait City Airport, each offering a wide selection of car models. For long-distance trips, you'll want a comfortable car with good fuel efficiency. If you're planning on doing a lot of city driving, you'll want a compact car that's easy to maneuver in city spaces. For a car that can handle Kuwait's mountainous terrain, you'll want a vehicle good for off-road driving, with ground clearance and all-wheel drive. Luckily, your perfect car awaits at Kuwait City Airport, no matter your traveling needs.
  • When returning the Kuwait City Airport car rental, note that the company will require you to return it during working hours. However, the rental company may allow you to return after hours. If plans change and you cannot return on time, inform the company staff that you will return after hours. You may have to pay a late return fee, but it acts as a gesture of honesty and good faith when dealing with the car rental industry. Park your car and drop the keys at the drop box in the Returns section.
  • One of the requirements for car rental at Kuwait City Airport is to present proof of insurance to cover the car in case of an eventuality. If you have personal auto insurance, you may be covered for damages to the rental car. However, you should check with your insurance provider to be sure. Some policies only cover certain types of rental cars, and others may limit the time you can rent a car. Luckily, most credit companies offer additional auto accident policies. So check with your credit company first to see if the rental car is covered.
  • Book your car hire at Kuwait City airport at least 4 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
