Good to know
Age requirements vary by supplier (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Saudi Arabia may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
If you're travelling with kids, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Taif car hire booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.
You'll have to provide some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
Get familiar with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Saudi Arabia.
Local speed limits are often about 70kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.
Avoid getting behind the wheel if you'll be consuming alcohol. Saudi Arabia has a zero-tolerance approach to drinking and driving, and penalties may apply if you break the rules.
Around 7am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.
You'll be using the Saudi Riyal (SAR) here. In addition to your bank cards, consider bringing some cash for minor purchases.
