Can I drive from UAE to Oman in a rental car? The short answer is yes…BUT! Here are the details:
Driving from UAE to Oman in a rental car
Yes it is possible to drive from UAE to Oman in a rental car as per the law but most car rental companies choose to avoid this conversation. This is because a lot of cars have been stolen and smuggled by crossing into Oman and disappearing. The cars disappear because the tracking devices installed in the cars don’t allow for Oman geographical coverage. So most car rental companies will not allow you to drive into Oman from UAE in a rented car simply for that reason. There are other reasons too. Normal driving limit in a car is 200-300 km but if you’re going to Oman it’s 400 km one-way minimum. So there are maintenance issues with the car that rental companies will face when the car comes back.
How can I drive from UAE to Oman in a rental car?
First, contact us! EjarCar.com has an extensive selection of car rental partners and we can quickly locate car rental companies who will be OK with the idea of driving into Oman. Second, be prepared to pay more. Car rental companies will charge for driving 400-500 km one way plus you will need to pay for extra Oman Insurance and extra rider fees at the border. They will also charge some 10% extra simply because they are one of the few car rental companies allowing you to cross into Oman. So the Oman trip is considered a premium service from car rental companies. Finally, you will require an official ORIGINAL NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the car rental company (we can help you with that). Keep your original passport and other ID documents with you when you drive up to the Oman border.
