Bus: Services have recently been developed by SAPTCO to serve inter-urban and local needs. Modern vehicles have been acquired, including air-conditioned double-deckers. All buses must have a screened-off section for the exclusive use of female passengers.
Taxi: Available in all cities, but often very expensive. Some have meters, and fares should be negotiated in advance.
Car hire: The major international car hire agencies have offices in Saudi Arabia. The minimum age is 25.
Documentation: A national driving licence is valid for up to three months if accompanied by an officially sanctioned translation into Arabic. An International Driving Permit (with translation) is recommended, but not required by law. Women are not allowed to drive. There are also restrictions on women travelling by car with men who are not related by blood or marriage.
