KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Jeddah
- Car hire in Jeddah is a wise way to get around the city. With your car, you can visit every part of the country without having to depend on public transit, which is often crowded and unreliable. Car hire in Jeddah is affordable and very convenient. Driving allows you to explore all the beautiful sights in the country, which is much harder when using public transportation. With your four-wheel drive, you get a chance to explore the beautiful beaches, ancient landmarks and exciting leisure parks for your kids.
- There are various Jeddah car hire agencies from which you can choose. Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) is located about 27 km from the Jeddah city centre and hosts many car hire agencies, such as Budget, Thrifty, Hertz and many others. These companies for car hire in Jeddah are run at different working hours; for example, Budget operates 24 hours throughout the week.
- With the excellent infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, driving in the city is fairly easy. However, if you don’t pay attention, a wrong turn can easily lead you blindly off into the wasteland. The highways in the city are intimidating, as most drivers are known for fast and aggressive driving. You are also likely to have difficulties in finding a parking place for your car in the city, due to the inadequate parking areas. Also keep in mind that petrol stations in the city are few and far between, so keep your tank filled when you have the chance.
- Driving in Jeddah city can be somewhat stressful. Car parking in Jeddah city is unruly, and the public parking supply and the controlled parking system are poorly managed. You will likely encounter traffic congestion in Jeddah city, and due to the lack of parking places, a lot of poor and illegal parking. Sand and speed bumps tend to make driving in Jeddah difficult too, as it is easy to get stuck in the sand and unexpected speed bumps are likely to lead to crashes.
- Book your rental car in Jeddah at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Staff was friendly, and personableCons:
The location address given was wrong. It took me to the middle of the road. I ended up paying a taxi a lot of money to drive me to 3 different locations before finding the right one. It took over an hr to do the paperwork and get my car. For drop-off I was told I could drop it off early and there would be someone there to take me tk the airport. When I arrived nobody was there and I had to scramble to find an uber to get to airport on time2.0 Poor

Pros:
Enterprise owned their mistakes by reimbursing me for the transportation and gave me a discount of the car rental.Cons:
My flight was to North Terminal, however, the pick up was at Terminal 1. Enterprise failed to pick up me from terminal as well as failed to pick up the phone. Terminal 1 is new terminal and it still lacks informative signing for car return and car rental offices. At rhe pick up I could not have dealt with the procedure without of an interpreter as the person at the desk did not speak any other language except Arabic.2.0 Poor
