Important Information when Visiting Jordan

  • The main roads in the cities and in tourist areas are in good condition, but in rural areas, especially near archeological sites, they can be narrower and less developed. Pay attention to the signals and signs that are in Arabic and English.
  • The capital, Amman, can have intense and chaotic traffic. Prepare to maneuver the narrow and congested streets, and be patient.
  • In rural areas, it is common to find cattle on the road, especially at sunrise and sunset. Reduce your speed and be careful when going through these areas.
  • Be sure to have enough fuel in the tank, especially in rural areas where services stations can be far away from one another.
  • During certain religious festivities, traffic may be more intense in some spots, especially near places of worship.
  • To drive a rental car you must be at least 25 years old, although you may rent if you are between 21 and 23 years old for an additional $5 a day and, with the highest coverage of the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW).
  • You may request one or more additional drivers to share the driving duties, for an added charge of $5 a day.
  • Underage children must use a special seat. Our offices in Al Qastal and Sweifieh offer baby car seats and booster seats for an additional cost (subject to availability).
  • Plan your trip and check the addresses on a GPS before beginning your journey. Having an approximate idea of where you are headed will make driving easier. In addition, it is very important to know where you are going to visit to find the most favorable routes for your type of rental vehicle, and that way arrive at your destination faster with some alternative route. Economy offers GPS for a small additional fee.
  • When returning the vehicle, the car must have the same amount of fuel as when it was picked up.
  • In your contract you'll have Emergency Roadside Assistance (ERA) for any mishaps, anywhere in the country. You may reject this program when renting a vehicle.
  • Valid Driver's License: You'll need a driver's license from your home country to drive in Jordan, as well as your passport.
  • Method of Payment: You'll need a credit or debit card to prepay or pay the rental, and the deposit. The deposits vary according to the protection plan and vehicle you choose. This deposit is released when the automobile is returned, if it is returned in the same condition as when it left the office, and can take several days, up to a week, to process.
  • Proof of Insurance: If you plan to self-insure and not choose a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), you must present written proof of your personal coverage provided by an insurance company, indicating specifically that the coverage is effective in Jordan during the duration of your rental contract. In addition, you must make a $550 security deposit and accept the liability waiver L.L.W.
  • Are you considering a visit to Jordan? We give you 5 facts that will convince you that this is a marvelous destination and a mandatory visit:
  • Although it is well-known for its share of the Dead Sea, Jordan also has an underwater city in the Red Sea called "Ayla". This medieval port city was founded in the VII century and is found near the modern city of Aqaba. Archeologists are exploring the submerged remains to discover more about its history.
  • Jordan was part of the ancient incense route, an important commercial network of routes that connected Arabia with Mediterranean regions. Incense, as well as other goods like myrrh and spices, were transported from Jordan and the Wadi Rum Desert to markets in the ancient world.
  • Unlike many cultures, Bedouin women in Jordan have property rights over traditional tents called "bayt al-shar". These are an essential part of the Bedouin culture and, through this practice, the women have an important economic role in their communities.
  • In the city of Safi, Jordan there is an ancient tree known as the "Lot's Tree" or "Virgin Mary's Tree". According to local tradition, this tree witnessed Biblical events such as the Virgin Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth and the story of Lot in the Bible.
  • Jordan is an important refuge for migratory birds. In the Jordan Valley, and in other wetlands in the country, you can spot more than 400 different bird species. During migration periods, thousands of birds fly through Jordan on their way to and from Africa, which makes the country an ideal destination for ornithology enthusiasts.
