Renting a Car in Aqaba: Top FAQs

Everything U.S. travelers need to know before driving in Jordan's coastal gateway

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) with my U.S. license?
Yes, an IDP is strongly recommended and often required by rental agencies in Jordan. While some companies may accept a valid U.S. license alone, an IDP serves as an official translation and can prevent issues at police checkpoints. It costs around $20 from AAA and takes 10-15 minutes to obtain. Without it, you risk denied rentals or fines.
Can I drive from Aqaba to Israel or Egypt with a rental car?
Almost never. Most Jordanian rental companies prohibit crossing borders into Israel, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia due to insurance restrictions and vehicle tracking policies. If caught, you'll face heavy penalties and void your insurance. Plan to use taxis or public transport for border crossings, or rent a separate vehicle in each country.
What should I expect driving in desert areas around Aqaba?
Summer temperatures regularly exceed 104°F (40°C), so ensure your rental has working A/C. Roads to Wadi Rum and Petra can be rough—avoid economy cars and consider an SUV. Gas stations are sparse outside cities; fill up in Aqaba before heading into the desert. Carry extra water and avoid driving at night due to limited lighting and stray animals on roads.
Is insurance coverage adequate for Jordanian roads?
Basic rental insurance often has high deductibles and excludes tire damage, windshield cracks, and undercarriage damage—common on rough roads. Consider purchasing full coverage or using a credit card with primary rental insurance. Third-party liability coverage in Jordan is mandatory but typically low; additional liability insurance is recommended given potential accident costs.
How much should I budget for parking and gas in Aqaba?
Gas costs approximately $1.50-$1.80 USD per liter (premium is more expensive). Parking in Aqaba city center costs around $0.70-$1.40 USD per hour; street parking is cheaper but limited. Most hotels offer free parking. Budget roughly $50-$70 USD for gas if exploring nearby attractions like Wadi Rum or Petra over 2-3 days.
Are there any specific driving rules that surprise American drivers?
Yes. Jordan drives on the right (same as the U.S.), but roundabouts are common—yield to vehicles already inside. Speed bumps are frequent and often unmarked, so drive cautiously in residential areas. Police checkpoints are routine; keep your passport, IDP, rental agreement, and insurance documents accessible. Honking is culturally acceptable and used frequently to signal intentions.
