Car Rental - Al Khor

At the time of rental the driver must present a valid national driver’s license, which has been held for at least 1 year and a valid passport (as proof of your identity and arrival date in Qatar).

Your national driver's license is valid for only 7 days from the date of your arrival in Qatar. After this period, you have to obtain a temporary Qatari driver's license which will be valid for the duration of your stay.

GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council)* nationals can drive in Qatar with their GCC driver’s license without any restrictions.

Non GCC nationals who hold a driver’s license issued by any of the GCC countries can only drive for 7 days from their arrival in Qatar. 

*GCC countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Please note that if you acquire a Qatar Residence Permit, only a valid Qatari driver's license is accepted.

Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form. Hertz China will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China Corporate seal. A scanned copy of the original licence will appear on the Certification form. The Certification form is valid until the expiry date of the Driver's Licence. BOTH the Certification and the original licence MUST be produced at the time of rental.

If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original licence together with an authorised translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licences are acceptable worldwide.

The International Driving Permit (IDP) is valid for 6 months from the date of your arrival in Qatar if you are on a Business or Visit Visa.

The IDP translates the national licence into various languages and is on its own, without the national licence, not acceptable.

Drivers who fail to abide by the Qatari laws and regulations will be held fully responsible for any accident, damages or deaths.

Please also refer to "Passport/Identity Card Information”.

Extra day is charged after 59 minutes over 24 hour rental period.

Hertz rates do not include fuel.
All Hertz vehicles are rented with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank or a local refuelling charge will apply in addition to the cost of the fuel.

Fuel Purchase Option (FPO)
For your convenience, you may purchase a tank of fuel from Hertz at the time of rental at a price that is competitive with local fuel stations. This method eliminates the need for you to refill the tank before returning. Please be aware that we are unable to give a refund for unused fuel.

Please check availability at time of rental.
