KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Riyadh
- Car rental in Riyadh is a good bet if you want to get an all-around experience of this bustling Saudi Arabian city. The city has fascinating historical monuments, ancient architecture and inviting souqs. The city is vibrant and modern with awe-inspiring high-rise buildings. The public transport system is very sufficient, but when there is so much to do in one city, a better option is the comfort of your own rental car, so you plan your daily itinerary at your own pace.
- King Khalid International Airport (RUH) is the main airport servicing Riyadh and is about 30min from the city centre. There are a variety of well-known car rental companies like SIXT, Europcar, Alamo, Thrifty and more located at the airport. Some of these companies might send a shuttle to collect you, so when making your booking for cheap car rentals in Riyadh, check which is the more convenient to get you on the road in a quick time.
- Make sure to choose the right insurance for your car rental in Riyadh, as although the roads are well maintained for a bustling city, a busy city still means there are hundreds of vehicles on the road and you need to drive with extreme caution. There are some options for you to hire a personal driver, so check if this is an option for you if you don’t feel confident enough on strange roads. Travelling further out of the city will be less congested and a little easier to navigate in your own time.
- The city of Riyadh is a very busy city with thousands of vehicles on the roads at any time, so you must proceed with caution. There are strict rules in place for drinking and driving, which may come with jail time if broken, so obey the rules. Take out the necessary car insurance to cover any issues you might encounter, take your time by pre-planning your routes before you make your way to your destination and make sure you have a working GPS or navigation on your phone. Preparation is key for exploring the roads of Riyadh.
- Book your car hire in Riyadh at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
