Rent a car in Jordan<\/strong>: where to rent a car, what kind of license you need, the cost of rent and gasoline, roads and driving in Jordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we were planning a trip to Jordan<\/strong>, the first question we asked after buying our tickets was: what about car rental and how about rules in this country? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turned out to be nothing complicated, but there are some small nuances. I’ll tell you about them below, based on my personal experience of traveling around Jordan in a rental car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rent a car at the airport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can rent a car in both airports – Amman<\/strong> and Aqaba<\/strong>, two major hubs where tourists arrive. We needed a car at the Aqaba airport<\/strong>, as there was no other way to get to the city except by taxi(10 JOD = $14<\/strong>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, strangely enough, renting a car at the Aqaba airport was more expensive than in the city center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that the airport is small. More low-cost airlines Wizzair<\/strong> and Ryanair<\/strong> have started flying there, while before, it was mostly charter flights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why there is not a single rental office in the airport terminal. Cars are driven to the airport for independent tourists or a transfer costs a very inhumane amount of money – $50<\/strong> to get and return a car at the airport. So we decided to take a taxi to hotel and get the car near our hotel the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where we rented a car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We were looking for a car through an aggregator DiscoverCars<\/a> <\/strong> – It does an excellent selecting international and local companies that are represented in Jordan. The main companies represented in Aqaba are Avis, Hertz, Sixt, Budget, Dollar, Thrifty, and Nu Car Rental<\/strong>. After reading reviews of car rental companies in Aqaba, we eventually chose the international Sixt<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
