Car rental pickup & return at The Boulevard
Pickup process
Most suppliers, including Dollar and Thrifty serving The Boulevard, Amman, operate from Complex No. 5, Ibn Al Nadeem Street 5, within the Abdali Boulevard development. Depending on the supplier, your vehicle may be collected from a rental office inside the complex or from a designated meeting point in a nearby property, such as the Abdali Rotana Hotel.
Steps to collect your vehicle at The Boulevard:
- Arrive at your supplier’s address mentioned in your Rental Confirmation Voucher at the scheduled pickup time.
- Carry your booking voucher, a valid driving licence (IDP), passport or national ID (whichever applicable), and the credit card in the name of the main driver.
- Complete the pickup process and go through fuel policy and mileage terms as per your booking/rental agreement.
- Get familiar with the vehicle before driving away and have your doubts (regarding rental terms) cleared with your supplier, if any.
Note: While several suppliers operate from the Abdali Boulevard complex, meeting points and pickup process can vary. Therefore, it is recommended to refer to your booking voucher for exact details.
Return process
Rental vehicles are usually returned to the same Abdali Boulevard location where they were picked up from. Make sure you arrive within your scheduled return time to avoid additional charges.
Here are the steps to follow for returning your vehicle:
- Refer to your booking voucher for your supplier’s return instructions to reach the designated parking area.
- Remove all personal belongings and return the car with the agreed fuel level.
- Hand over the keys and a staff member may conduct an inspection before finalising the return process.
- Request a return receipt or confirmation of the vehicle's return before leaving.
After-hours return process
If you plan to return your vehicle outside your supplier’s standard business hours, check with them beforehand to know whether they allow after-hours drop off.
Flexible car rental deal types available at The Boulevard
Whether you are visiting Amman for a quick city break or an extended stay, you can choose a rental duration that suits your itinerary.
-
Short-term car rental (one day/weekend/weekly)
Short-term deals are ideal for travelers spending a few days in Amman, whether for a weekend break or business meetings in the city.
