Request a car

We open for winter 2026/27 with a new fleet and no reviews yet, so there are none on this page. Check the real photos and the full kit list on the roof tent page instead.

How are days counted?

Per calendar day, not per 24 hours. The day you collect and the day you return each count as one day, whatever the time. Collect Thursday morning, return Saturday evening = 3 days. There are no half days and no hourly rates — if you want a late return, add a day.

How do I pay?

Nothing when you request. You pay for the rental at the depot when you collect — by payment link, card or cash.

Do you take a deposit?

No deposit and no card hold. Your liability is limited to the OMR 150 insurance excess.

Why is it cheaper than everyone else?

You collect from our depot, we run a small, simple fleet of V6 Mitsubishis and we don't sell peak-date surcharges. You don't get less: the kit is bigger than the typical competitor's.

Are the cars powerful enough for the dunes?

Yes. Every car is a V6 automatic with 4WD and low range. For soft sand, let the tyres down to about 15 psi and take the recovery kit.

What licence do I need?

A valid driving licence from your home country, plus your passport or Omani ID. Both drivers must show theirs at the depot. Check whether you need an International Driving Permit for your nationality.

Can two of us drive?

Yes — two drivers are included at no fee. Name the second driver in your request or at the depot.

Do I need the recovery kit?

Only for Wahiba Sands and any dune driving. It is not needed for wadis or the Jebel Shams road. It costs OMR 5/day per car.

Can I cancel or change dates?

Yes. Our confirmation email is your booking — reply to it to change or cancel.

Can I request more than one car?

Up to 3 cars in one request. For 4 or more, or booking for clients, use the group and travel-agent page.

Where is the depot?

In Muscat, 15 minutes from the airport. Pickup is at the depot only, 08:00–18:00.

What about Eid and Christmas?

Peak dates 20 Dec – 7 Jan are not offered. For Eid, request early — once a weekend is taken it's gone; we don't overbook.

Ready? No 7-day minimum, nothing to pay until you collect.
