Car Hire in Bahrain

There are many international and car rental companies, reputed ones like Hertz and Avis are represented and there are good local ones too. Haggling is the name of the game and please get quotes from a few local companies before you finalize on on any one. Foreigners must be in possession of an international driving license or a Gulf Cooperation Council country driving license. Bahrain changed from left to right hand traffic in 1968. It is a good idea to see Bahrain in a rented car.

While renting a car in Bahrain, ensure that you receive full comprehensive insurance. It is well worth paying the extra amount as a small scratch can end up costing all your deposit with an unscrupulous rental company. As in US and Europe, on offer will be available cars not more than a year old and you can choose from a wide range including limousines and sports cars. The good rental companies offer online booking facility too.
