Amman car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Amman

• Jordan is beautiful, but its public transportation system is lacking and only covers its main cities. Therefore, renting a car is the smartest move for tourists visiting the area, especially if you want to see attractions like the ancient ruins of Petra, Mujib Nature Reserve, or the Dead Sea.
• Amman Airport serves much of the country of Jordan. It is a very large airport with lots of amenities and services including numerous car rental agencies. With offices in the arrival terminal, you can quickly rent a car from many well-known car rental companies such as Avis, Budget, National, or Thrifty.
• Although it is a small country, Jordan is well-developed with a strong highway system and modern roads. You’ll find it easy to drive on the roads; however, laws for driving are not so strict. For example, many drivers do not use turn signals or wear seat belts. It’s also important to note that road signs are in Arabic, which can be a challenge.
• Traffic in Amman can get quite busy during commuting or rush hours. It can get busiest downtown from about 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., as most governmental employees must be to work by 8 a.m. It starts to get busy for the evening commute at 2:30 p.m., but typically slows down at about 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. In the morning, traffic is most hectic coming into downtown. And in the evening, it is busiest going away from downtown.
