You can choose from a variety of vehicle types when choosing Salalah car rentals. For getting around the city, an economy or mini is a comfortable choice, while larger full-size vehicles and passenger vans will suit families and travellers arriving with a lot of luggage or who need extra space. It’s also worth noting that while Omani roads are generally in good condition, particularly in built-up urban areas and on highways, smaller roads in the mountains and desert regions may be less developed. Travellers planning to drive in rural or mountainous areas may therefore prefer to drive an SUV.
