What are the options for my hireal car?

INSURANCE

Mietwagen Versicherung

With the right insurance through Oman

Even if you drive very carefully and safely, damage may occur to the hireal car. To ensure that you can continue your journey without stress, we recommend that you take out fully comprehensive insurance without excess. In the event of damage, you will have to advance the costs. However, you will be reimbursed by your insurance company after your arrival back home. Simply submit the relevant receipts when you return from Oman.

One-way hireal

For those who want to do a road trip to Oman with a hireal car, the one-way hireal might be the best option. This means that you can pick up your hireal car at the location of your choice and return it conveniently to another location. This is particularly useful if you are heading for cities that are far away from each other, such as Muscat, Salalah and Seeb.

Additional driver

What does the additional driver option actually mean? If you specify another person as an additional driver when booking, you can take turns driving the hireal car. Distances in Oman are often very long. If only one person drives the hireal car, this can be quite exhausting. So that the driver can sit back and relax, too, you can simply hand over the steering wheel to the additional driver.
