FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about documents, cancellations and travel terms.

What documents do I need to rent a car in Qatar?

To rent a car in Qatar, you usually need a passport, an international driving permit along with your national license, and a credit card in the driver’s name (if a deposit is required by card). Some rental companies may accept national licenses in Latin script, but officially, both national and international licenses are recommended. It’s best to check the requirements in advance when booking.

Are there toll roads in Qatar?

Yes, Qatar has toll roads, such as in the Lusail area. Charges are usually applied automatically through systems like Salik or similar. Ask your rental company whether tolls are included in the rental price.

Can I rent a car without a credit card?

Most companies require a credit card in the driver’s name to block the deposit. However, some allow debit card payments, cash, or even offer rentals without a deposit – this depends on the rental provider.

What are the roads like in Qatar?

Qatar has excellent road infrastructure: roads are wide, smooth, and modern, especially in Doha and on intercity routes. The surfaces are high-quality, well-lit, and easy to navigate.

What side of the road do they drive on in Qatar?

Qatar has right-hand traffic, just like in Europe. Most road signs are also written in English, making it convenient for visitors.

How do I book a transfer?

Select your pick-up and drop-off points, date, and time, then complete your booking online. After confirmation, you’ll receive all the details and the driver’s contact information by email.

How do I know where to meet the driver?

Meeting details – including the pick-up location, driver’s contact, and whether they’ll be holding a sign with your name – are provided in your confirmation email. For airport transfers, the driver usually waits in the arrivals area.

What if my flight is delayed?

Most transfers track flight status automatically. Still, it’s best to enter your flight number when booking and contact the driver or support team directly if needed.

Can I cancel or modify my transfer?

Yes, but it depends on the booking conditions. Many transfers offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before pick-up. Always check the cancellation policy on the booking page.

How do I rent a car?

Select the location, rental dates, and car type. Add any options you need (such as cross-border travel or a child seat), then confirm your booking.

Is a deposit required?

It depends on the rental conditions. Some companies require a deposit, while others do not. In most cases, the amount is temporarily held on your bank card until the car is returned. In some cases, a cash deposit may be accepted, but this is less common – always check the terms when booking.

Can I drive a rental car across the border?

Not always. The possibility and conditions for cross-border travel depend on the rental company and the specific vehicle. Check in advance – in most cases, an additional fee applies.

Where do I return the car?

The return location is specified during booking. It can be the same place where you picked up the car or a different city or airport – additional fees may apply for one-way rentals.
