Doha car hire

With its modern road network, any class of vehicle should result in a pleasurable drive around Doha. Luxury cars and SUVS offer a more comfortable ride, with increased luggage and passenger capacity. Compacts and small economy cars offer the advantages of affordability and easy handling, plus their size makes parking spaces a bit easier to find.

The legal speed limit in the city centre and other urban districts is 60km/h (37mph). Driving along roads in rural communities, this limit is increased to about 100km/h (60mph), and along major roadways and highways the maximum speed allowed is about 120km/h (75mph). There will be active monitoring devices along key highways, at junctions and in the downtown area, so always observe the speedometer when you’re on the road.

On-street parking in Doha is free unless you are in areas where parking is prohibited. Due to the lack of public spaces in the city, many downtown shopping malls also offer free parking to the public which helps to ease road congestion.
