Kuwaiti travelers visiting Syria — for family, tourism, or business — often find a rental car the most comfortable way to move around Damascus on their own schedule. This guide sets out, honestly, how it works and what Auris actually provides.
Auris coverage in Syria
Auris operates in Damascus and at Damascus International Airport. You can collect your car in Damascus city (including areas such as Kafr Sousa and Qaysar) or, when available, at the airport. Hotel or address delivery within Damascus is possible on request, depending on availability. We are clear about limits: we do not advertise branches in cities we do not serve.
Documents for Kuwaiti nationals
Bring your passport and a valid driving licence. A Kuwaiti national licence is generally fine for short visits; an International Driving Permit alongside it is a useful extra. Keep your passport on you while driving, and make the booking in the main driver's name.
Arriving in Damascus
Most Kuwaiti visitors arrive by air at Damascus International Airport, where pickup can be arranged around your flight. Share your flight number on WhatsApp and the team confirms where to meet before finalising. If your plans involve onward travel, mention it early so expectations are realistic.
Picking a vehicle
City driving and short family trips suit economy cars and mid-size SUVs. Groups with luggage are better in a van. For premium comfort, VIP cars are available, and a private driver is an option if you would rather be driven.
booking and payment
There is no online card payment with Auris — the team confirms each booking manually, so you always deal with a person. Check live prices and availability on the website, or send your dates and pickup point by WhatsApp for a direct reply in Arabic. Reserve ahead during summer and holiday periods, when demand is highest.
