Top tips for renting a car in Bahrain

  • In Bahrain, it is illegal to smoke while driving. There are plenty of gas stations, and though their hours of operation will vary from one location to another, most of them accept major international credit cards for payment. Similarly, there are plenty of parking lots in Bahrain equipped with electronic meters, so you can pay any parking fees with cash or credit card if preferred.
  • As with all Gulf countries, there are strict laws against alcohol use. In Bahrain, the legal blood alcohol limit when it comes to driving is 0 mg so if you plan on drinking, either make sure there is a designated driver who has not had a drink or take a taxi to your hotel and pick up your rental car in the morning.
  • The Kingdom of Bahrain is connected by the King Fahd Causeway to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. If you wish to cross the causeway, there is a toll fee of 2.50 BHD (about 6.70 USD), but you will first need special permission to make the trip, so notify your rental agency in advance of your travel. You will also need to buy insurance to enter Saudi Arabia, which you can purchase at a booth before entering the causeway.
  • Domestic One-Way Car Rental is permitted in the Kingdom of Bahrain, although there may be some notable exceptions to the rule. Therefore, check the terms and conditions of your contract and contact your rental agency if you have any questions. This policy does not extend across international borders, however, so you can’t leave your rental car in Saudi Arabia if you drive there.
