Renting a Car in Syria for Qatari Visitors: A Clear Guide

For Qatari visitors heading to Syria, a rental car turns a tightly arranged trip into one you control. This guide explains how renting works for Qatari travelers and what Auris genuinely offers in Damascus.

Where Auris serves

Auris covers Damascus and Damascus International Airport. Collect your car in Damascus city — areas such as Kafr Sousa and Qaysar — or at the airport when that service is running. Delivery to a hotel or address inside Damascus can be arranged on request, subject to availability. If you need to go beyond Damascus, ask first; we would rather tell you honestly than promise what we cannot deliver.

Documents for Qatari nationals

You will need your passport and a valid driving licence. A Qatari national licence is generally accepted for short visits, and an International Driving Permit alongside it removes uncertainty at checkpoints. The main driver should meet the minimum rental age, and the booking should be in that driver's name.

Getting to Damascus

Qatari visitors usually arrive by air at Damascus International Airport. Pickup can be timed to your flight when available — send the flight number on WhatsApp and the team confirms the meeting point before the reservation is locked in.

Choosing your car

Economy cars and mid-size SUVs handle city driving and family outings well. Vans suit groups and luggage. For premium travel, VIP vehicles are available, and a private driver can be requested if you prefer not to drive in unfamiliar streets.

Payment and reservation

Auris keeps payment human: there is no online card checkout, and the team confirms each booking manually. Use the website to see live availability and prices, or message your dates and pickup point on WhatsApp for a direct answer in Arabic. booking early is wise in peak seasons.
