5 Things Before Renting a Car in Oman

  1: Basic Road Rules in Oman

The road rules in Oman are much similar to many other countries.

Driving in Oman is on the right-hand side of the road.

Moreover, never neglect the general rules such as wearing a seat belt, driving within speed limits, possessing a license, etc.

Violation of rules can be severely problematic in Oman.

  2: Border Crossing in Rental Car

Oman’s borders touch three countries, UAE, KSA, and Yemen.

Travelling across the borderlands in a rental car can be adventurous only if you know the rules, unless it may be troublesome.

If you want to travel from Oman to UAE or vice versa, have a comprehensive look at the car rental terms and conditions.

Usually, visiting KSA and Yemen in an Omani rental car is prohibited.

  3: Where Not to Park Your Car in Oman?

You can easily find a parking spot in Oman.

Just avoid parking in public buildings and No Parking zones.

  4: One-way Rentals Can Save You Money!

Hiring a car in one city and returning it to another can cost you some extra riyals.

So, always plan your route in a loop and return it to where you picked it.

  5: Automatic Toll Reader

To save your time and peace of mind, ask your car rental for an automatic toll reader. Consequently, you will only need to pay all the tolls on the car return.
