It depends on your licence and the vendor. Driving licences issued in the GCC are commonly accepted on their own. Visitors from other countries are often asked for an International Driving Permit (IDP) together with their home licence. The exact requirement is shown in each car’s booking terms — if you’re not sure your licence qualifies, message us before booking and we’ll confirm with the rental office.

The minimum driver age is set by each vendor and shown in the car’s booking terms. Many offices in the region set it in the low-to-mid twenties, sometimes with a young-driver condition or surcharge for the lower end of that range. If you need to confirm eligibility for a specific car, ask us before booking.

Usually, yes. Most rental offices hold a refundable security deposit for the duration of the rental, released after the car is returned in its original condition. The amount and how it is collected depend on the vendor and the car, and are shown in the booking terms. Where a car supports paying online by card, you complete payment securely on Locationik and see the full price before you confirm.

Many vendors offer delivery within Muscat, including to hotels and to Muscat International Airport. Cars that support delivery show a delivery badge on their listing, where you can check the covered area and any fee. If you’d like delivery to a specific address or terminal, message us before booking and we’ll confirm availability with the office.

Cross-border travel into the UAE is allowed by some vendors and not others, and it usually requires advance arrangement and additional insurance or paperwork. Whether a particular car can cross the border is decided by its vendor — if you’re planning a trip into the UAE, message us before booking so we can confirm the rules and any extra cost for that specific car.
