Car Rental
Cars can be rented on most foreign licences. Foreigners resident in GCC countries can rent a car if they can show a residence visa from their country of residence.
Avis, Budget and Europcar rates per day for a small car, including insurance and unlimited mileage, is about QR150. There are rental desks at the airport and also in some hotels. There is also an agency in Doha -- Al-Muftah Rent-A-Car on Musheireb Street -- which often gives rates cheaper than QR150 per day.
