Just wondering, is it possible to rent or buy a car without an Iqama? Currently on a Business working visa as my Iqama is processing and will be processing for the next couple months, perhaps longer. So just wondering if it is possible to purchase or rent a vehicle without an Iqama? IF so, where and how can I do this?

Cheers!

If you have an International driving license, you can rent a car on a daily basis...

Hi,
I have arrived here and one through this...

So, the end result is If you don't have IQAMA you cant rent a car. Even if you have anyother recognized licence.

You can only rent i one case if any of your friend who has saudi licence make agreement with renting company on his name and then you can drive that car.

Renting a car for a period of time is possible at the airport without a residency permit. You need your passport, international driving license and your invitation letter from the company.

Best is the better company as well as Avis. Avis it's used a lot by expats coming here for business.

Post back if you have problems and I'll ask around for something.

Good hunting
