KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kuwait City

  • Booking car rental in Kuwait City is a great option for all travellers wanting to explore the State of Kuwait and its capital. Situated in Kuwait Bay, the metropolis has many culturally significant landmarks that give an impression of its rich history as a prosperous trading hub on the Persian Gulf. If you want to get out into nature, the Subbiya Desert and Sabah Al-Ahmad Natural Reserve are only around a 50min drive from Kuwait City.
  • You can find a variety of international rental car providers at Kuwait International Airport (KWI), such as Sixt, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and Avis. These trusted car hire agents offer a wide range of vehicles at affordable prices. The customer service desks are located in the main arrivals hall at Terminals 1 and 4. Rental vehicles are situated in car parks outside both buildings. If you prefer to collect your vehicle in Kuwait City itself, you can also find car rental in Kuwait City at Al Ta'awun Street, but these may be more expensive than at the airport.
  • There are a number of road rules you must keep in mind when driving your rental car in Kuwait City. When approaching a roundabout, cars must not only give way but come to a complete stop. Signposts are generally written both in English and Arabic, though smaller streets may be indicated by number rather than name, so choosing car rental in Kuwait City that provides GPS is a good idea to help you navigate. It’s also worth noting that while you are free to explore the State of Kuwait in your hire car, you cannot drive over the border to Saudi Arabia in a rental car under any condition.
  • When driving in Kuwait City, you may witness some aggressive driving behaviours such as tail-gaiting, speeding and running red lights. Do not follow suit, as you could face a fine. Road congestion in and around Kuwait City can be heavy during peak hours. Traffic jams are most frequent from 08:00-09:00 and 18:00-20:00, so you may want to avoid driving at these times. You can download apps to get instant traffic updates throughout the day. Flash weather events like sandstorms and heavy rain may also cause sudden road closures or diversions.
  • Book your rental car in Kuwait City at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Kuwait City are around 44% cheaper than other car types, on average

    You can make use of numerous car parks in Kuwait City, particularly around the main harbour zone. Some car parks are outdoor and offer free parking, while others are multi-storey buildings with barrier access. In general, you won’t need to pay more than around KD 0.6 (₹ 155) for 2 hours. If you choose on-street parking, pay attention to where you park – it is illegal to park on pavements, and restricted areas are indicated by black and yellow lines. It is also generally safer to leave your vehicle at designated car parks.
