Driving your car hire in Muscat

Traffic in Muscat can be heavy a lot of the time, but generally the city is pretty easy to get around. Streets are well signposted and cared for.

Driving to Muscat from the airport

It’s an easy 14km drive from the airport to the heart of Muscat. Head out onto Sultan Qaboos St/Route 1 and follow it until you get to the centre of town. The trip should take around 13 minutes. 

Taxis are available outside the terminal, and the public bus service is just a short walk away, should you wish to pick up your rental car from the city. 

Tips for driving a car hire in Muscat 

  • Motorists in Oman drive on the right side of the road, and overtake on the left only.
  • The speed limit in Muscat is 40km/h in urban areas, and 120km/h on the highways.
  • The permitted blood alcohol level is 0%; do not drink and drive.
  • Always carry your driver’s license.
  • If a car flashes their lights at you, it often means that they are asking you to let them pass by.

Where to park your rental car in Muscat 

At Muscat Airport, short-term parking begins at Bz0.500 for one hour, and another Bz0.500 per half hour thereafter. For long term parking, the first day costs O.R3, with subsequent days and additional O.R1 is added. After day five, O.R7 is to be payed daily. 

On-street parking is pretty easy to find in Muscat; some with meters, some without. Hotels, shopping malls and museums often have free parking, just be aware that parking in certain areas is prohibited. When in doubt, see what other cars have done and follow suit. 

What our customers say

IT WAS VERY EASY TO MAKE BOOKING
I WILL RECOMENDE GOSEE TO MY FRIENDS
Mileta Markovic
She was awesome, great lady over the phone, She explained everything in detail.
Anthony Unabor
Having had an awful service with QEEB, despite having booked a car months ago, we needed to look for a new provider. It is only 3 weeks until our holiday so I was worried that we would face an expensive car hire. GoSee had reasonably priced cars and the experience was hugely different to that of QEEB.
GoSee website was easy to use, straight forward and we were able to save a quote for the car we were interested in. A member of the GoSee team called that evening to make sure we had all of the information we needed and she sent us through the quote again... Thank you for making a stressful situation much more tolerable!!
