Cars for Rent in Qatar

Rent a Car in Qatar — Daily, Weekly & Monthly Options for Every Budget

Qatar Living's car rental section connects renters with a wide range of vehicles available for daily, weekly, and monthly hire across Qatar. Whether you need an economy car for your daily commute, an SUV for a family road trip, or a luxury vehicle for a special occasion, our platform helps you compare rental deals from both private owners and established rental companies — all in one place.

Car rental demand in Qatar stays strong year-round, driven by the country's large expatriate population, steady tourism, and business travel. Monthly rentals are especially popular with new residents who need transport immediately while they settle in, waiting on a car purchase, or between vehicles. Longer commitments almost always bring the effective daily cost down, which is why 3 to 12-month leasing is common among expats and corporate clients.

Rental rates vary by vehicle class, season, and how long you book for. As a rough guide, economy cars generally rent from around 50-120 QAR per day, roughly 300-700 QAR per week, and about 900-1,500 QAR per month. Standard SUVs typically run higher — in the region of 120-250 QAR per day and 1,800-3,000 QAR per month — while premium and luxury models sit well above that, often from 200 QAR per day upward. These are indicative market ranges only; always confirm the exact rate, what it includes, and any conditions directly with the listing.

To rent a car in Qatar you'll usually need a valid driving licence, photo ID (a QID for residents or a passport for visitors), and a payment card for the security deposit. Residents rent on their Qatar driving licence; tourists can often drive on a national licence for a short window after arrival, and an International Driving Permit alongside the home-country licence is widely accepted and recommended for longer stays. Minimum age typically starts around 21, rising to 25 or older for luxury and specialty categories. Requirements differ from one company to the next, so check each listing's terms before you book.

Most rentals include basic Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance with an excess (the amount you're still liable for after a claim), and many companies offer optional cover that reduces that excess toward zero for an extra daily fee. A refundable security deposit is standard — commonly pre-authorised on a credit card rather than charged — and is released after the rental ends and any traffic fines are cleared. Read the insurance terms, excess amount, mileage policy (some listings offer unlimited kilometres, others cap them), and any add-on fees carefully.

Qatar Living makes it easy to compare options by filtering for vehicle type, rental period, price range, and location. Each listing includes vehicle details, rental terms, and direct contact details, so you can arrange delivery, discuss self-drive versus chauffeur-driven options, and confirm everything with the owner or company before committing. Whether it's a one-day hire or a long-term lease, you'll find the right car for the right price on Qatar Living.
