Top Tips for Hiring an SUV in Muscat
- Driving Muscat SUV rentals is the ideal way to see this port city in Oman on the Gulf of Oman in the Arabian Sea. In an SUV rental, you do not have to depend on public transportation to see the gorgeous and historic landmarks of this city when you want to and for how long you want to. If you want to drive off the beaten path into the mountains or desert, the power and traction of an SUV is ideally suited. You can drive around in spacious comfort, with plenty of room to travel with friends and family and to transport supplies, recreation gear, and souvenirs.
- In Oman, and particularly in a busy metropolis like Muscat, most car rental agencies require the driver of a rental SUV to be at least 25 years old. Though you can find car rental agencies that may rent to younger drivers, they will usually set the minimum rental at 21 years old. Also, the car rental agencies will charge anyone between the ages of 21 and 24 daily fees due to your younger age. If you are younger than 25 and considering Muscat SUV rentals, research Muscat car rental agencies to find one that you can be sure will rent to someone of your age. Also, compare the fees you will be charged among the different agencies.
- When you opt for Muscat SUV rentals, you'll most likely have to purchase the insurance offered by the car rental agency. Unlike in America, you can't use the insurance on your personal auto insurance policy or through a credit card, because these types of insurance seldom cover foreign rentals. Many car rental agencies in Muscat will include insurance in the price of the rental car. But you need to check carefully to see exactly what kind of insurance they include. Make sure you are covered for damage you may cause or damage someone else may cause.
- In order to secure Muscat SUV rentals, you need to have a valid driver's license from the US, your passport, and a major credit card that is in the same name that's on the license and the passport. You will need to have enough room on this credit card to leave a deposit on the vehicle as well as to pay for the rental. Getting an International Driving Permit or IDP is highly recommended because if you are stopped by police, they will ask to see an IDP.

There are many speed cameras on every road, placed very frequently. If you speed, expect a bevy of tickets to be waiting for you when you return your rental SUV.

Apr 2018
Pros:
Pick up was easy if a little slow. Return was easy but a little confusing since there was no notification to say what to do. Good value for money, specially Car received was in good condition, clean and fueles up.Cons:
Limiting mileage to 200km a day is annoying. I didn’t need more but it made me feel like I was renting from easy-rent-a-car.5.6 Fair

Cons:
That i had to call them few times in order to unlock my deposit after checkout.5.2 Fair
Apr 2017
Pros:
Exact car that was listed.Cons:
Pick up and drop off was slow, I wanted to opt out of insurance (credit card covers it) and they didn't seem to know how to do that, no one around to receive the car at drop-off.2.0 Poor
Mar 2017
Cons:
They add 5 oman riyal for the parking befor I received the car The time to dropping the car its take very long time coz he wrote manual Car was very small and not what i rent online7.6 Good
Feb 2017
Pros:
The rental return process was much faster than a year ago, probably because there is an operational garage now to return the car, rather than returning the car at the curb where it is chaotic.Cons:
The rental car pickup process was still slow. A lot of writing on the contract by the clerk at the counter which negates the online reservation work that I did. Seemed very redundant and time-consuming. You expect a quick pickup process and to be on your way.Dollar

Mar 2019
Cons:
Scam. Car advertised by Dollar as SUV however no whatsoever off-road functionality. Just looks. Totally unsuitable for Oman roads for which an SUV is required. Dangerous. Stay away.6.0 Okay
Mar 2019
Cons:
The reservation mentioned unlimited mileage and when picking up the car, the company tried to impose a limit. Then, they were extremely slow bringing the car - we had to wait more than half an hour after finishing all the paperwork. Drop off was smooth.3.2 Poor
Mar 2019
Cons:
There was no car available on the pickup date. After 2 hours waiting I was provided with a small car, and I had to come back to airport the next day to change the car. This time I was given a proper sized car however lower class (I booked a premium car I was given a standard). no apologies by dollar8.8 Very Good
Mar 2019
Pros:
Great car, good staff at drop off and pick up.Cons:
Poor signage at airport led to mistakes and extra time to find drop off. Unnecessarily difficult, but this is for all rental cars at MCT, not just Dollar.National
