Car Rental in Muscat Mini Guide
Unlike other Middle Eastern cities, Muscat seems underdeveloped, but its charm and that of the rest of Oman is easily recognised driving around it in your Muscat hire car. A simple hire car in Muscat is all that is necessary for life in the city but if you want to venture further afield to the mountains of the Western Al Hajar or to see the iconic Straits of Hormuz then you may want to consider hiring a sturdier vehicle that can cope with sand and rough tracks.
We can offer both these types of vehicle for hire at car hire Muscat and at a pleasingly low price. We can do this by finding the lowest price amongst our competitors and making sure they don’t beat ours. To make booking with us worthwhile we make sure we match our low prices with competition busting service standards.
