2.0 MediocreAug 15 2019
They said there was no car available and that they had sent a notice of cancelation. the manager did find a car about 2 hours later but it wasn't the premium car we asked for and he charged us at the same rate.To know there was no car or to be given the car we reserved.
10.0 ExcellentApr 8 2019
Couldn't be betterVery friendly, helpful staff who went out of their way to help us with shopping and info about Aqaba generally, not just car hire! And the car was excellent too.We had no problems at all - all excellent
10.0 ExcellentFeb 12 2019
In Aqaba there are NO possibility to rent from the border! Please keep in mind!
8.0 ExcellentJan 5 2019
Quick return, no problems.Address for drop off stated in the contract (Aqaba) didn't exist, we had to call the guy from avis who promised to text us the correct adress, but never did. We managed to find other Avis place (or the correct place?) and return the car there.
6.8 GoodJan 5 2019
Wadi Araba border Aqaba Jordan rentalThey have upgraded my car and everything went smoothly without too much waiting.Even though the picking of the car was supposed to be at the border according to the booking no one appeared at the border. After few calls I was told that the border Office was closed and had to pick the car from the town, hence had to hire taxi. However on the way back they were kind and dropped me at the border.
10.0 ExcellentDec 29 2018

10.0 ExcellentJun 15 2018

2.0 MediocreJul 2 2017
NightmareWe got automatic transission obstawę of manual one. It was my first time in automatic So in addition to Jordan hard traffic it was horrible for us. Air condition in car was full of fungus ( it smell very bad ) probably never cleaned. Giving the car back took me 3h. No point in Amman wanted to takie this, i spent much time and money to call all Amman departments.
I called to inform I was delayed for pickup. Phone was not answered. At pick up I was told the car was gone. I got a downgrade. Without the suv had to skip the desert trip. Still paid the high rate
8.8 ExcellentDec 29 2016
Battery went deadAfter the maitenance finally arrived (we met on half way), the replacement was quick and they offered a free ride where we needed after dropoff as a favorThe way of communication and speed of the problem solving. I took us more 20min of repeated phonecalls for almost 50 dollars!

20 travelers who rented a car in Aqaba gave the car agency they used an average rating of 7.5
Give yourself the freedom to explore this ancient Jordanian city the way you choose when you arrange a car hire in Aqaba. The ruins of Ayla, one of the first Islamic cities to be built outside the Arabian Peninsula, is a stone’s throw away from the centre of Aqaba. You can also visit the Aqaba Archaeological Museum for a further glimpse into the city’s fascinating past. A car hire also allows you to discover Aqaba’s surrounding areas. A day trip to the protected desert wilderness of Wadi Rum is an absolute must and the iconic lost city of Petra, one of the 7 new wonders of the world, is reachable in just under 2h by car.
The King Hussein International Airport is roughly 10 miles away from Aqaba and has a range of top car hire companies to choose from. You can find the likes of Sixt, Europcar and more in the main terminal building and be behind the wheel of your Aqaba car hire in a matter of minutes. Exit the airport directly onto Airport Street, which will take you into the centre of Aqaba in as little as 15min.
In general, traffic in Aqaba is heavy and a little unruly, yet drivers are laid back and friendly. The main roads in and around Aqaba are wide and well-maintained, and you will find signs in both Arabic and English. That being said, it is advisable to add a sat-nav to your car hire in Aqaba if you’re not familiar with driving in a foreign country. Be aware of the many speed bumps and roundabouts in the city, as well as children and animals walking into the road without warning. On more rural roads, watch out for potholes and sharp turns. Driving is on the right side of the road and police checks are common, so be sure to have the correct documents with you at all times.
Although there is a lot of traffic throughout the day in Aqaba, it is recommended to avoid the roads during the rush hour period of around 07:30-08:00 and 16:00-17:00. Main roads like Pr. Hasan Street and Al-Quds Street are liable to congestion. The desert motorways are generally free of traffic and provide a pleasurable and scenic driving experience. Of course, the weather in Aqaba is hot, so you should always ensure you carry water in your Aqaba car hire.
