Car Rental

Can anyone recommend a car rental agency. I am looking to pay max KD8 a day.

Update: So I called some rental agencies and here are the results:

Avis: No one picked up
Budget: They had a 2007 Lancer for KD8, but they couldn’t have it ready for me before 1PM and the guy I spoke to didn’t know if car smelled of cigarettes or not.
Hertz: For KD8 they only had a Hyundai
AutoMax: They had a 2006 Camry for KD8 but they were located in Salmiya.
Europcar: Very friendly and professional. Only had medium sized car available. Location close to my office.
Sixt: Called them up, they had problems with their automated teller, everytime I pressed 3 for Sixt it would take me back to main menu.

In the end I went for Europcar mostly because I needed a car before 1PM and they were walking distance. I was in contact with the Sheraton branch and the employee there was very friendly. She gave me a 2007 Lumina for KD10 and promised to arrange me a cheaper car from a different branch. I picked up the car at 12:30 and it was in excellent condition with just 1300km on the dial.

beirut car rental – in hawalli, you can get a car for 6 KD. i took a car from them before, and i am going to rent a car from them tonight. this is there tel.: 2610088
good luck

That is very true Rayboy! But you can also ask about full insurance when you sign up! But those places do give full insurance if you ask, if you don’t then they get on your case!

Rayboy you posted after I had already gotten the car. Will still call now and see if they can offer me a good deal, I can always return my car.

i called them now. he can give me the toyota echo for KD5.5 a day. Going to pass by after work and check it out, if its clean I am going to take it.

Everyone i’m ar53nal14, and let me tell you the story of how i got banned from this site! Well, i posted somebodies real name, and that person was the admin, Mark. And now, he banned me because i wrote his real name! Mark, WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY? I’m going to look for ANOTHER Kuwaiti blog, with a BETTER admin. But, if you want to unban me, it’s fine with me.

By the way, Mark, can i do a petition or something, and if more than 10 people sign, then i can get to come back to the forum?

dude i forgot to tell you how bad the echo is, it’s really painful to drive. like really really bad.
i think it would be better to pay a bit more and get something else.

Budget car rental!,,, the guy you spoke to didn’t know if the car smelled of cigarettes or not!!! hehehe,, they must smell all their cars to answer your question!!

Hey mate !! I wud love to know if anyone can post up the pic for a lumina 2007 in kuwait as i wish to rent it from the airport rentals probably europcar or any other rentals that can give me full insurance cover. i am currently in australia and i rang them and asked them do you have a pic of the the car on your website and they replied no !! its a lumina 2007. If anyone has the pic of the car thats being rented out there it would be really appreciated if you post on here.

Laterz guys
Have fun

Have rental rates gone up to about 10KD for the Lancer nowadays? I realize this was a couple of years back…just wondering if I’m about to get ripped off when I rent next week.

Hi Mark! i know its been a while since this post was updated. I just want to know if you have an idea if there is in hawally car rental services with full insurance? Thanks!
