You can drive a rental car for one week with a valid current drivers license from your country of origin.
Within the week a temporary drivers license can be obtained from the Madina Khalifa Traffic Department that would be valid for the duration of your visa.
The requirements are:
• A completed application form in Arabic
• Original license from country of origin,
• ID
• Passport
• Copy Of Passport
• Three Passport Size Photos.
• An eye test
Cash is not accepted when paying for your driver’s license application so ensure you have your credit card with you.
The driver’s license normally takes a day.

If you are from USA ...Here is my experience. You can drive with your valid license for one week.
If you are visitor then you can drive for the whole month which is the duration of your visit visa.
If you are on Work Visa then you need to get Qatar License after a week. You cannot drive after a week on US License. For Qatar license, you need to have RP without which they will not process your application. They also need a letter from your sponsor, photos, completed application form etc. which is mentioned above.
