If you plan on using car hires in Jeddah, then you will need to present the Jeddah car hire company with your valid driving licence and an International Driver’s licence. Some Jeddah car hire companies will also accept an officially translated and stamped translation of your driving licence instead of the International Driver’s licence, but we suggest you investigate this before you travel. Some companies will allow you to use car hires in Jeddah by paying with a debit card, but most will expect you to cover the deposit with a credit card. You will need to be at least 21 to hire cars in Jeddah, and some companies will apply a surcharge for drivers that are under the age of 25 as well.
All passengers must wear a seatbelt while travelling in hire cars in Jeddah, and children under the age of four must be seated in a child seat. If a child is under the age of 10, then they cannot sit in the front of the vehicle either. As Saudi Arabia has strict laws on alcohol consumption, the laws for drink driving are severe. You cannot drink any alcohol and take control of a vehicle and to do so could provoke a massive fine or a lengthy prison sentence. Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road and overtake on the right. We recommend that you check with the city’s department for motor vehicles to keep up to date with any recent changes in the laws.
The most common car to hire in Jeddah is an economy car, especially if you only plan on using it to get around the city. There are plenty of options for cheap car hire in Jeddah and the most important thing that we recommend is that your car has air conditioning as the heat can get very intense. If you would like to do some off-road activities, such as driving in the dunes, then an SUV or 4x4 would be a better car hire in Jeddah as they are better equipped for this type of terrain. Most companies offer cheap car hire in Jeddah with a variety of cars available and you can ask them which will be better suited to your needs.
Jeddah has plenty of designated parking areas where you can park your hire car. It is common to use parking meters and while on-street parking is available, a lot of the locals own cars so it can get quite competitive to find spaces. There are a number of free car parks in Jeddah that are open 24/7 but if you would prefer something a little safer, then we recommend parking at your hotel or accommodation or paying to use a private car park.
