Things to Know Before Renting a Car in Jordan

Renting a car in Jordan is one of the best ways to explore its stunning landscapes, historic sites, and vibrant cities. Here are some key points to help you plan:

Public Transport Limitations: Public transport options are limited in Jordan, making a personal vehicle the most practical way to get around.

Essential Documents: Bring your passport, driver’s license from your home country, and a valid credit card for security deposit. Some agencies also require an International Driver's Permit (IDP).

Age Requirements: You must be at least 21 years old and have held a valid driver’s license for at least a year. Some car rental agencies may only rent to drivers over 25 or charge an extra fee for younger drivers.

Driving Rules: Jordanians drive on the right-hand side, and speed limits are displayed in kilometers. Standard limits are 60 km/h in cities, 80 km/h in rural areas, and 120 km/h on highways.

Insurance Options: Third-party liability and theft coverage can be purchased from the agency or through your credit card if it offers coverage abroad. Always confirm beforehand.

Fuel Costs: Fuel is relatively affordable. Gasoline is about JD 1.10 ($1.60) per liter, and diesel costs around JD 0.59 ($0.84). Fuel prices are fixed across the country.

Special Terrain: For off-roading adventures in places like Wadi Rum, ensure you have experience driving on sandy terrain or opt for a guide.

High-Season Rentals: Book in advance during peak travel times to secure availability.

Fines and Fees: Speeding fines go through the rental agency—don’t pay fines directly to officers.

Airport Convenience: Most travelers pick up rental cars in Amman, where the process is simple and well-organized.

Best Time to Rent a Car in Jordan

The best time to rent a car in Jordan largely depends on your travel plans and preferences, but a few key tips can help you make the most of your experience.

Peak Season (March to May, September to November):

Spring and autumn are the most popular times to visit Jordan due to the pleasant weather. Temperatures are comfortable for exploring landmarks like Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea. However, demand for cars is higher during these months, so it’s wise to book in advance to secure availability and better rates.

Off-Peak Season (June to August):

While summer can be scorching, it’s an ideal time for budget-conscious travelers. Car rental prices tend to drop during this period. With proper planning and an air-conditioned rental vehicle, you can still explore Jordan’s wonders comfortably.

Winter (December to February):

Winter brings cooler weather, particularly in Amman and Petra, with occasional rain. Roads are less crowded, and rental prices are often lower, but be prepared for chilly evenings.

Book your car online well in advance with Finalrentals, before arrival to save money and ensure availability, especially during peak seasons. Our free cancellation policies can also help you adapt to changing plans.
