Driving in Oman can be a delightful experience, provided you adhere to the local traffic regulations and follow some easy driving rules. .
Things to consider when picking up your rented car
Now that you have decided on the car, here are some things to keep in mind on the day when you pick it up:
- Inspect the car from the inside and outside and take pictures of any possible scratches it comes with. You can make this a habit anywhere you go because it’s very useful to do it so you won’t have to pay additional fees for damage or scratches you didn’t make yourself.
- Ask the rental company for a number to call in case you have any troubles with the car/road
- Check that the car documents are in place
- I don’t think they make cars without it any more, but still, check that your AC is working. If it doesn’t it will be hot like hell, and most of the times you can’t open the windows as it will be sandy
- Ask them about returning the car: do you just leave it at one of their offices or will somebody be there for the drop-off?
PRO TIP: Moreover, when returning the car, you usually just drop off the keys and they do inspect the car after you leave. I would also take pictures of it when you return it, just in case!
