Although foreigners are allowed to drive in Saudi in line with the government's announcement 2 years ago, the only drawback is that it can only be done at the airport without the need for Saudi ID or iqama (have your passport, driver's license and IDL with you). All the car rental shops require iqama, which is not friendly for foreigners who are here on short-term (i.e. 2 months or less). I hope that the requirements to rent a car for foreigners can be uniformed throughout to ensure it can be a more tourist-friendly destination in line with the reforms that is being done by the government.
While I enjoy booking with Sixt globally, my experience with their services in Saudi Arabia has been challenging. The wait times to receive the car are quite long, and their contact details are non-responsive. This lack of communication can be especially problematic in emergency situations where there is no way to reach customer service. It's important to note that once the car is handed over, Sixt should ensure that the customer's name is removed from the traffic system to avoid any violations being registered under their name. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience last month when I returned a car on June 8, 2023, and three violations were registered between July 9 and 11, which were only removed from my name after some time. Despite my attempts to report this issue at their office, as their customer service was not responding, the violations have still not been cleared. I may have to visit the traffic department to prove that I was not driving the car during that period. Overall, while I enjoy booking with Sixt globally, I do not recommend their services in Saudi Arabia due to the challenges I faced.

They should update their system. It tool more than an hour to receive the car. The worst point, they did not checked out the previous car from system and i got 3 fines that pertains to the new client. I still have to justify police department that i m not the user of the car during that period and sixt does not help at all And they dont have any call center that you can reach out them for such queries or emergency

Good car for a good price. I didn't like having to return the car with a precise amount of fuel rather than just returning it with a full tank (as it wasn't delivered full), the friendly staff at the rental agency and good price made it worthwhile.
Didn’t found my vehicle when I arrived the employee found the booking on the system But reply we don’t have any vehicles. And i’m not the only one facing this issue Couldn’t find any car because of this mistake And used Uber instead of having a car rented.

Mediocre|July 2022
Pickup - the guy wasn’t there and didn’t show up for about an hour even though the shop was open. The neighboring rental car company said this is the norm with Avis. The car - the car had 120,000 km on it when we got it and was making a terrible sound. It also only had 1/4 tank of gas. And worse it had the tire pressure light from pick up! Drop off - we dropped the car off at a different location and when we got there they told us we needed to pay an additional $250 to drop it off at a different location from pickup. This was NEVER communicated to us…
