Car rental at Doha Hamad Airport (DOH) | AVIS UAE
Hamad International Airport opened in 2014 on the eastern edge of Doha and is the home of Qatar Airways. Qatar is compact and the roads are good, so a rental car lets you move between the city, the coast and the desert at your own pace.
Collect your car at Doha Airport
Our team will confirm where to collect your car when you book. Have your driving licence, passport and the payment card used for the booking ready.
Plan your journey from Doha Airport
Central Doha and the Corniche are a short drive from the airport. See the Museum of Islamic Art on its own island, browse Souq Waqif in the evening, and walk the cultural village of Katara or the marinas of The Pearl-Qatar.
Top tips for driving in Qatar
- Drive on the right.
- Speed limits are posted and speed cameras are common.
- Use of handheld phones while driving is illegal.
- Seatbelts are compulsory, and children need an appropriate child seat.
- Check the current licence and insurance requirements for your nationality before you travel.
Beyond Doha with your rental car
Head north to Al Zubarah, a UNESCO-listed fort and archaeological site on the coast. To the south, the dunes around the Inland Sea (Khor Al Adaid) are a popular day out, but they need a 4x4 and dune-driving experience. Check with our team before you plan any off-road driving. Our Qatar page has more routes.
