Muscat car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Muscat

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Muscat

  • The capital city of Oman, Muscat is a sprawling metropolis between the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. The city has excellent public transport links, but these are limited to scheduling and location. With car hire in Muscat, you can overcome such disadvantages and enjoy the freedom and unlimited convenience every eager visitor craves. Discover adventures along the road to Sur, 204 miles south via Route 17, or to Sohar, 206 miles north via Route 1.
  • Muscat International Airport (MCT), formerly Seeb Airport, is about 12 miles from the city centre. You can pick up your car hire in Muscat there as soon as you arrive, instead of waiting until you reach downtown. It is likely you will need transportation to connect you from the terminal to the airport’s car hire centre, and many companies such as Sixt, Budget and Hertz provide shuttles to do just that. In International Arrivals, find the nearest information desk to request directions to the shuttle collection point in order to pick up your vehicle.
  • The Muscat Highway and Sultan Qaboos Street are the two major roadways connecting the city from east to west and accordingly are the major inbound and outbound traffic routes to Muscat. Pedestrian and cycle activity is moderate on most city centre streets but increases near retail hubs, educational institutions and Old Muscat, which is a hive of administrative buildings and cultural landmarks. The peak tourist season from November to April will also see increases in vehicular, pedestrian and cycle traffic around the city centre and beaches along the coastline.
  • There are three rush hour periods in Muscat. The morning rush lasts from about 07:00 to 08:30; the afternoon busy period is from 12:30 to 15:30, and the evening rush is from 17:30 to 19:00 from Sunday to Thursday. During these times the Muscat motorway and Sultan Qaboos St are likely to experience congestion. The Bab Al Mathaib Street/Al Mina Street interchange near Majan University College, the Al Bahri Road/Harat A’shamal Street leading to the port complex and the Qurum roundabout near Qurum National Park are other key areas to avoid during these periods.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Muscat for £26 or less
  • Book your car hire in Muscat at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Muscat are around 57% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Muscat

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Muscat?

    Unless passenger numbers are a major concern, a small economy car or compact is likely the best vehicle for touring the city’s roads due to its affordability and ease of handling. SUVs and luxury vehicles offer a more comfortable ride over extended distances and have a much greater storage capacity than smaller vehicles.

  • What’s the speed limit in Muscat?

    Speed limits in the city of Muscat are determined by the type of road along which you’re driving. On single carriageways through urban districts the limit is set at about 25mph, while along dual carriageways through urban districts speeds between 35mph and 50mph are allowed. Roads travelling through rural areas carry a limit of 55mph, while motorways have a maximum limit of about 75mph. There are active static and traffic cameras used near major junctions, along highways and in residential districts, so heed posted signs at all times.

  • Where are the best places to park in Muscat?

    On-street parking in residential districts is forbidden, so you can only park your Muscat car hire on streets and garages where there are meters. These are in operation from 08:00 to 13:00 and from 16:00 to 21:00 from Monday to Friday, at a rate of about 0.10 OMR (£0.20) for 30min. Between 13:00 and 16:00, and from 21:00 to 08:00, parking is free in all metered zones except where otherwise restricted. Cash, online or SMS mobile payments are accepted.

Easy to find and to drop off at the airport. Make sure you have about 30 minutes extra in case there's a line for returning. I got a better car than what I booked too!

They were atrocious. We booked our 4X4 in advance and when we arrived to pick it up were told there were none available and to take up my complaint with head office. Had to hire from Budget rentals who only had a small Suzuki. Totally ruined the holiday
