FAQ’s for car rental at Doha Airport
Most of the suppliers take a refundable deposit at the rental desk which will be refunded as soon as the car is returned at the drop-off location in the same condition as per your rental agreement. The amount varies from supplier to supplier and depends on the car you are renting.
Yes you can pay for someone else’ Doha-Hamad airport car rental, but in that case, the booking will be in your name, and you will have to add the other person – for whom you are booking – as the additional driver. But the additional driver will only be permitted to drive the car only if he/she meets the criteria.
Additional Driver Criteria:- The additional driver will have to appear at the rental location with the primary renter
- The additional driver will have to meet all the license and age requirements
- The additional driver will have to produce a credit card in his/her name
- If you are visiting Qatar on visa and the trip is not more than a week’s duration, you can use the driving license that has been issued by your home country. But if that is not the case you will need an International Driving Permit to drive a rental car in Qatar for up to six months.
- You don’t need an IDP if you have a driving license which has been issued by a country, which belongs to Gulf Cooperation Council i.e. Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE.
- Your valid driving license or an International Driving Permit
- A credit card with a minimum of 3 months validity.
- Your passport and a photocopy of the entry stamp into Qatar.

It totally depends on the supplier you choose to book your Hamad Airport car rental from; some charge while others don’t.
Many of our suppliers allow pickup and drop-off outside their office hours but for that you need to inform the suppliers at least a day before (and you might be subjected to an additional charge – which varies from supplier to supplier).
