KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Amman
- Jordan is beautiful, but its public transportation system is lacking and only covers its main cities. Therefore, renting a car is the smartest move for tourists visiting the area, especially if you want to see attractions like the ancient ruins of Petra, Mujib Nature Reserve, or the Dead Sea.
- Amman Airport serves much of the country of Jordan. It is a very large airport with lots of amenities and services including numerous car hire agencies. With offices in the arrival terminal, you can quickly rent a car from many well-known car hire companies such as Avis, Budget, National, or Thrifty.
- Although it is a small country, Jordan is well-developed with a strong highway system and modern roads. You’ll find it easy to drive on the roads; however, laws for driving are not so strict. For example, many drivers do not use turn signals or wear seat belts. It’s also important to note that road signs are in Arabic, which can be a challenge.

It can get busiest downtown from about 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., as most governmental employees must be to work by 8 a.m. It starts to get busy for the evening commute at 2:30 p.m., but typically slows down at about 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. In the morning, traffic is most hectic coming into downtown.

Apr 2018
Cons:
I arrived in Jordan and went to the sixt rental booth to pick up my car. Approaching the desk I immediately noticed a large commotion from a group of about 10 people. Upon entering the group, it became evident that they had overbooked their inventory and were beginning to make people wait upwards of 6 hours for a car. When it was finally my turn in line, I politely told the sales manager my booking reference number for the car. He spends about 20 seconds looking it up on the computer before turning towards me telling me ‘my booking had been cancelled’. After my expected reaction of how?, what?, when?, why?, the sales manager broke eye contact with me and looking at his feet in shame muttered that ‘their office no longer accepts booking from agencies.’ Ok guy, you don’t accept bookings from agencies? You don’t honor kayak bookings? Really? So you cancelled my 2 week prior reservation without any sort of communication and there isn’t anything you can do for me because you over booked your fleet and there are not enough cars to meet resercarions. Dear sixt, Next time you lie to my face. Please look me in the eyes.Europcar

Pros:
Nothing !!!Cons:
When I first arrived to their airport office, they told me that they haven't received my booking and that they are in short of cars and they don't have any cars to provide , I kept arguing showing they the confirmation email received from kayak , but they kept saying they haven't received any. after long discussion , it turned out to me that someone in their head office didnt copy the booking request from the portal to their system and therefore they don't see my booking info. eventually they gave me an old car with many body scratch and they told me that is the only care they can provide , take it or leave it ! it took me over 60 minutes to receive a bad car !2,8 Poor

Pros:

Car was not in good condition. It was not safe to drive. the right door doesn't close and it is a threat to the personal safty of the front passenger seat. Avis should look at better maintaining their cars, and not to allow unsafe vehicles to be rented to customers.7,2 Good
