  • Alamo, Final Rentals and National are some of the top providers offering car hire deals in Taif.

  • The coverage Alamo or another supplier offers for your Taif car hire can differ, so always go over the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will apply a surcharge for it.

  • Booking one-way could snag you a cheaper rate on your car hire. Providers sometimes offer lower rates when vehicles need to be relocated. Just click 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in Taif.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car hire in Taif with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No surprise fuel add-ons when you hand back the keys either.

  • Hit the road without watching the miles and racking up extra fees. Go to the 'Policies' filter and click 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you go the distance.

  • Jetting into Taif? Think about picking up one of the car rentals in Taif Airport. That way, you can start your adventure not long after landing.

Compare car hire types in Taif

  • Small: Including classes like mini and economy, this cheap rental car in Taif puts you on the road for less. These compact, fuel-efficient rides are good for short trips and city driving.

  • Medium: Choose from compact and intermediate cars that combine space, comfort and fuel efficiency. Easy to handle in cities and roomy enough for longer drives, they're a reliable fit for most trips.

  • Large: You've got the suitcases, the kids, the snacks, the works. Large vehicles have got the capacity to carry it all without breaking a sweat. Ideal for longer drives, this Taif car hire category includes full-size cars.

  • SUV: Get a higher ground clearance and better visibility of what's ahead in an SUV. Whether you're navigating rugged country lanes or zipping along smooth highways, many come with all-wheel drive to help you tackle any road.

  • Van: If you're after a car for rent in Taif that can handle a small crowd (and all their stuff), a van is the practical pick. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're just the thing for group travel, moving or business needs.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers your out-of-pocket costs if your Taif car hire is stolen or damaged. While not mandatory, it's a safety net if something happens. Just remember that not all insurance policies are the same, so make sure you know exactly what's included.

  • From navigation systems to mobile Wi-Fi, the right extras can make all the difference. Consider which add-ons could enhance your trip when you rent a car in Taif.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals can vary by supplier and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Saudi Arabia may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • Add a car seat to your Taif car hire reservation if you're bringing the kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest way to go.

Hit the road: Where to drive from Taif

  • Snap up an epic car hire deal in Taif and then get ready to explore the city's leading attractions, like Alqumriyah Grand Mousque and Dolphin and Sea Lion show. Driving may not necessarily be the best way to reach them, but you'll want to see these highlights before you take off.

  • Take it easy after a day spent exploring Ash Shafā at Lahzet Ghoroob Resort. Or coast into comfort and stay at Beit Al Ward.
