Does Bahrain have any unique traffic laws?

Accepted Answer

If you are planning on using a car rental as your mode of transport in Bahrain, these are some driving laws you should know. In Bahrain, you will drive your rental cars on the right-hand side of the road. The speed limit in urban areas is 50 to 60 mph. In rural areas, it is 40 mph, and on the motorway, it is 70 mph. Bahrain has a zero-tolerance policy for drinking and driving. Car hire in Bahrain requires that you wear a seat belt when you are in the front seat, but you're not legally to wear a seat belt if you're in the back of the vehicle. If you need to answer your phone while driving in Bahrain, you will need to have a rental car with hands-free installed. It's possible to get cars with this software installed from many car hire companies. If you are driving with children under the age of 10, they cannot sit in the front seat and need to wear a seat belt and a child seat. If you require a child seat, ask your car hire in Bahrain to supply one for you.

Question 14

What are the legal and documentation requirements for renting a car in Bahrain?

Accepted Answer

In Bahrain, to rent a car, you will need to have your valid date driving licence, an International Driving Permit (IDP), and passport. In Bahrain, you're required to have at least third party insurance. When you drive around Bahrain, be sure to have your registration documents and proof of insurance on you because if the police stop you, they will check this information. The minimum age that you can rent a car in Bahrain is 21 years old. It is good to remember that if you are under 25, you will have to pay a fee to cover additional insurance. This young driver's insurance is required as younger drivers have less experience and are more likely to get into accidents.

Question 15

Which areas of Bahrain have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

Bahrain can have a lot of traffic, especially if you drive in the busiest cities. Bahrain's most active cities are Manama, the capital city, Riffa, and Muharraq. It's best to avoid driving during rush hour traffic in rental cars, as the roads can be chaotic. Finding parking can be a struggle, especially if you are in the centre of the city. The mornings and early afternoons are the most challenging times to find a parking spot. Paying for parking is also required within most city parking areas. Ensure that you only park within designated parking areas, too, not on the pavement, or you could get a fine.

Question 16

What are the best scenic roads in Bahrain?

Accepted Answer

Rental cars are a great form of transport that can allow you to travel along many scenic roads within Bahrain. If you want to take a trip down to the Durrat Al Bahrain resort, you can take King Hamad Highway. This highway runs throughout the country and will allow you to see the ocean and inland Bahrain. Another scenic road you could travel down is King Fahd Causeway. This road connects Bahrain to Saudi Arabia. It has many inland views of modern cities as well as beautiful coastal sights. If you want to head out of the city and into the quieter areas, take Jazair Beach Avenue, which runs along the western side of the country. There are many stunning beaches to enjoy here as well as beautiful sunset views.

As a rule, you’ll need to be 21 to hire a car abroad, and a young driver surcharge may be applied if you are under 25. We recommend reading through the policy of your chosen rental company before booking.

Question 20

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Bahrain?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Bahrain, all drivers must present a full valid driving license. An International Driving Permit is required if the driving license is written in a language different to that of the country of rental and may be necessary to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you are renting abroad, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend checking with the individual rental company you are booking with.
