Enjoy reliable car hire in the Oman with Hertz. We offer convenient pick-up, a wide selection of vehicles, and hassle-free journeys.
With sprawling deserts and heady mountain ranges covering most of its land, the most developed towns and cities in the Arabian sultanate of Oman are largely limited to the southeast coastal region. Although going off-road is a possibility for the more adventurous types, car hire in Oman should be arranged if you’re planning on seeing some of the country’s more conventional sites during your stay.
The enclave of Musandam, though not physically connected to the rest of Oman, borders the Persian Gulf which allows the country to benefit from various trade routes and oil investments.
Oman has several entries on the UNESCO World Heritage List including the Land of Frankincense sites where the precious material was historically extracted and traded from. A trip to this circle of sights is highly recommended hire a car in Oman and the journey time will be even faster. The religious customs of Oman are such that one may not find the usual spots to enjoy the nightlife but the country's growing popularity does mean that the accommodation and tourism opportunities are always on the increase. Car hire in Oman allows you quick journey times between each of these popular tourist destinations.
Being that the majority of Oman is desert, with a good few mountain ranges in between, the roads tend not to be well-developed and so it's best to consult your map as closely as you can when driving between destinations. It also means few and widespread chances to refuel your car so always make careful preparations and don't improvise! One interesting note on driving in the country, it's against the law to drive an unclean car in Oman, so if you're roughing it through the desert you could be at risk of a fine if you arrive in town with a less than spotless vehicle. Although the offence should get you a fine, it will more than likely only get a warning, but be prepared all the same!

To hire a car with Hertz in Oman, you need a valid driver’s licence (held for at least a year), any required international driving permits, a valid passport/ID card (no photocopies), and a credit card in your name to cover the rental cost and pre-authorisation amount. If you booked with a different card, bring that one, too. All cards must be in the driver’s name.
Age requirements vary by country. Please check the Rental Qualifications during booking for specific details. At Hertz, we ask the driver’s age to determine if a young driver fee applies. In most cases, the driver must be at least 25 years old and have had their license for at least 1 year. Drivers under 25 usually incur an additional fee.
As per Hertz policy, the booking MUST be made under the name of the renter i.e. main driver who picks the car up with his/her own debit* or credit card, using a debit* or credit card in the renter's name. The same debit* or credit card MUST also be presented upon collection of the vehicle, as a guarantee. Hertz does NOT accept debit* or credit cards in a name other than the main driver's, even if accompanied by a "per procurement"/mandate document and personal documents of the debit or credit card holder. *HERTZ do NOT accept debit cards in every country. Please check Debit/prepaid Cards for details.
Hertz car rental rates exclude fuel. Cars are provided with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank, or a refuelling charge will apply. You can purchase fuel at rental, but no refund is given for unused fuel. Ask about our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) when picking up the car.
