Driving a Rental Car to DOHA, Qatar from HOFUF, KSA

Hi talbert77,

I hope other members will be able to inform you about the letter.

Wish you good luck

Unfortunately, you cannot take the rental car outside KSA without letter.

the letter is definitely required for a rental/company vehicle.

Thank you all for the information you all have so graciously supplied. Perhaps because of language barriers the Rental Rep could not explain the procedure to my satisfaction, this time I am at fault.

I am waiting now until I get a chance to get away for a weekend again, but I will get that letter today so I can have it in advance. Thanks again!

Its a decently long drive from Hofuf to Doha so be prepared with lots of coffee unless ur the type that finds coffee to be a laxative.

it will be a long ride. make sure you have everything in place.

Dear Talbert77;

By now I am sure u have done many driving to DOHA from Hofuf.

Is it possible you explain the experience, or hick-up u encounter along the road in this forum. Just share with us the experience.

Any issues at the border (Salwa Crossing).

I am soon to be a resident of Hofuf, and I want to drive to Doha every now and then to play golf with my friends there !

Regards;
