KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Salalah
- A car rental in Salalah is a convenient way to get around the town and explore Oman. While you may find local buses in Salalah, there is very little public transport connecting the town with other locations around Oman. Therefore, having a car allows you to travel freely around the country and discover the best of what Oman has to offer – from the Dhofar mountains and Ayn Khor waterfall near Salalah, around the coast of the Gulf of Oman, to the glittering capital Muscat.
- You can find a number of car rental providers at Salalah International Airport (SLL), which is only around 15min by car from the city centre. Salalah car rentals are available from Europcar, Budget and Alamo, and their service desks are located on the ground floor of the main terminal building. In order to secure your preferred vehicle and a better price for your car rental in Salalah, it’s wise to book your vehicle in advance through KAYAK. If you wish to travel to other countries bordering Oman during your stay, you should check if this is permitted by your rental provider first.
- Vehicles in Oman are driven on the right-hand side of the road and usually operate on automatic transmissions. While some bigger roads in Salalah are named, with signage written in both Arabic and English, many minor roads are denoted by numbers. It is a good idea to opt for a GPS for your car rental in Salalah to make it easier to navigate in the city. When driving outside the city, it is customary to sound your car’s horn when going around corners on winding mountain roads.
- Traffic is usually very manageable in Salalah but may be heavy getting in and out of Muscat, if you plan to drive to the capital. If you are planning to drive outside of Salalah, make sure you have filled up with fuel before you leave, as there can be large distances between petrol stations. When driving in rural areas, you should always be aware of livestock, as it is not uncommon for sheep, goats or camels to wander onto roads. Flash flooding can also cause sudden road closures and diversions.
- Book your car hire in Salalah at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
pickup/drop off was easy. they replaced the car when their rental broke down (bad battery).Cons:
They overcharged me for booking a 'standard' size car, which I understood to be a full size car. It turns out they gave me a midsize car only. Be careful not to be tricked by their shady tactics and false car categorization.One location in Salalah
