Cheap car rentals in Aqaba
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aqaba
- Before getting cheap car rentals in Aqaba, there are some major local roads you should know. The main road in Aqaba is King Hussein Street, which runs parallel to the coast and connects the city's northern and southern areas. Another important road is Al-Ghandourah Street, which runs perpendicular to King Hussein Street and provides access to the city's residential neighborhoods. The Aqaba South Beach Road is another important route along the coast and provides access to several of the city's resorts and tourist attractions. Additionally, the Aqaba Ring Road provides a bypass for traffic traveling around the city. Overall, these roads provide easy access to the city's main attractions and facilitate transportation within Aqaba.
- For drivers getting electric Aqaba car rentals, it is at these locations where you can charge your eco-friendly rentals. There are several EV charging stations in Aqaba, including one at the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) headquarters, one at the Kempinski Hotel, and another at the InterContinental Hotel. The most convenient location for EV charging in Aqaba will depend on your location and travel plans. If you're staying at one of the hotels with a charging station, that may be the most convenient option. However, if you're exploring the city or visiting a specific attraction, the charging station at ASEZA may be more centrally located.
- You can take several road trips with cheap car rentals in Aqaba. About an hour and a half from Aqaba, Wadi Rum is a beautiful desert valley with stunning rock formations and sand dunes. You can explore the area by 4x4, on foot, or by camel. One of Jordan's most famous tourist destinations, Petra, is located about two and a half hours from Aqaba and is worth visiting. About three hours from Aqaba, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth and a popular destination for its therapeutic mineral-rich waters and mud.
- Give yourself the freedom to explore this ancient Jordanian city the way you choose when you arrange a car hire in Aqaba. The ruins of Ayla, one of the first Islamic cities to be built outside the Arabian Peninsula, is a stone’s throw away from the centre of Aqaba. You can also visit the Aqaba Archaeological Museum for a further glimpse into the city’s fascinating past. A car hire also allows you to discover Aqaba’s surrounding areas. A day trip to the protected desert wilderness of Wadi Rum is an absolute must and the iconic lost city of Petra, one of the 7 new wonders of the world, is reachable in just under 2h by car.
- The King Hussein International Airport is roughly 10 miles away from Aqaba and has a range of top car hire companies to choose from. You can find the likes of Sixt, Europcar and more in the main terminal building and be behind the wheel of your Aqaba car hire in a matter of minutes. Exit the airport directly onto Airport Street, which will take you into the centre of Aqaba in as little as 15min.
- In general, traffic in Aqaba is heavy and a little unruly, yet drivers are laid back and friendly. The main roads in and around Aqaba are wide and well-maintained, and you will find signs in both Arabic and English. That being said, it is advisable to add a sat-nav to your car hire in Aqaba if you’re not familiar with driving in a foreign country. Be aware of the many speed bumps and roundabouts in the city, as well as children and animals walking into the road without warning. On more rural roads, watch out for potholes and sharp turns. Driving is on the right side of the road and police checks are common, so be sure to have the correct documents with you at all times.
- Although there is a lot of traffic throughout the day in Aqaba, it is recommended to avoid the roads during the rush hour period of around 07:30-08:00 and 16:00-17:00. Main roads like Pr. Hasan Street and Al-Quds Street are liable to congestion. The desert motorways are generally free of traffic and provide a pleasurable and scenic driving experience. Of course, the weather in Aqaba is hot, so you should always ensure you carry water in your Aqaba car hire.
