How booking works
Choose your pickup location and dates, and search available cars on the website — or send the same details on WhatsApp.
Pick a car that fits your trip. Search results reflect live availability for your dates and pickup point.
The team confirms your reservation manually — there is no online card payment, so you always speak to a real person first.
Receive your pickup details and meet the car. Airport or hotel delivery can be arranged when available.

Frequently asked questions
Booking & coverage
Can I rent a car in Syria?

Can I rent a car in Damascus?
Yes. Damascus is Auris's main Syria coverage. Pickup is available in the city — including areas such as Kafr Sousa and Qaysar — and hotel or address delivery within Damascus can be arranged on request, subject to availability.
Can I pick up a car from Damascus International Airport?

How does the booking process work?
Choose your pickup location and dates and search available cars on the website, or send the same details on WhatsApp. Auris does not take online card payment — the team confirms your reservation manually, so you always speak to a real person before it is final.
Documents & who can book
What documents are required to rent a car?
Bring your passport (or national ID for Syrian nationals) and a valid driving licence held for the rental period. If your licence is not in Latin script, carrying an International Driving Permit alongside it removes any doubt. The booking should be in the main driver's name.
Can Syrian expats rent a car?
Yes. Syrian expats visiting from abroad can arrange a car for arrival in Damascus, including airport pickup when available. Many book ahead on WhatsApp before they travel so the car is ready on arrival.
Can Gulf visitors rent a car in Syria?
Yes. Visitors from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and other Gulf countries can rent a car in Damascus with a passport and a valid driving licence. We have dedicated guides for several nationalities in our blog.
Driver, vehicles, payment & before pickup
Can I rent with a private driver?
Yes. Auris offers a car together with a driver in Damascus — useful for business travelers, families and visitors unfamiliar with the roads. See the private driver page or ask on WhatsApp; pricing and availability depend on your specific plan.
What type of car is best for families?
Mid-size SUVs suit most family visits, while a van works better for larger groups with luggage. Economy cars are ideal for light city driving, and a baby seat can be requested. The team can suggest a class once you share passenger and luggage numbers.
What payment and deposit details should I confirm?
Confirm what the rate includes, the fuel policy, and any deposit and how it is handled, along with accepted payment methods — Auris does not take online card payment, so payment is arranged directly with the team during confirmation. Keep some cash for fuel, as card payment is not available everywhere.
What should I confirm before pickup?
Confirm the pickup point and time, the vehicle class, what the rate includes, the fuel policy, and any deposit or document requirements. Inspect the car with the representative, note any existing marks, and keep your own photos before driving off.
