Manama is the cosmopolitan capital of an affluent country, where rentals like a sleek luxury car or deluxe SUV fit right in with local rides. For those with restrictive budgets, a smart-looking compact or late-model economy car offers economy and manoeuvrability in tight situations. On the other hand, if you’re on a company business trip with work colleagues or taking the family on holiday, we recommend a premium people carrier for maximum seating capacity with ample luggage space.

Within Manama city limits, you should drive below 60 kph, and on roads in less populated areas, you can accelerate up to 100 kph. On highways leading to and from Manama, such as the A80 or Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway, the maximum speed limit is 120 kph. There are many pedestrians in the central area and CCTV cameras about the city, so drive safely at all times.

Parking a rental car in Manama is challenging on the best of days due to the high number of vehicles, but finding a good spot is not impossible. There are Pay and Display parking meters on many city streets, plus municipal and private, secure car parks where you can leave your vehicle for extended periods at attractive rates. If your accommodation doesn’t provide in-house parking facilities, you should know that public parking is free from as early as 7 p.m. in some places until 7 a.m. daily.
