Can I rent a car on Umrah Visa in saudi arabia.

Unluckily you cannot rent a car on Umrah or Hajj visa. There are multiple reasons behind it. Firstly, you can hire a taxi in Makkah or Madinah easily. Secondly, there are millions of pilgrims visiting Saudi Arabia every year. If the Saudi govt allows this, the road will jam-pack all the time. And it would be trouble to drive instead of ease.

Saudi Govt has introduced new rules. Now females with a valid driving license can drive in Saudi Arabia. Any female expat can apply for a driving license. But if she is a visitor, still she can rent a car, and enjoy driving.
