Car rental pick up in Jordan

You must obtain an international driving permit to drive a car in Jordan. You will be able to purchase this through your country's Automobile Association, or equivalent, before you travel and it will accompany your usual driver's licence.

Arrive in Jordan’s capital city, Amman, and pick up your rental car to begin your Middle Eastern adventure. Visit the ancient site of Rabbath-Ammon, or the remarkably restored Roman Theatre before jumping in the car and journeying North to the ruins at Jerash. Just a day trip from Amman, the silky-smooth blue of the Dead Sea will lure you in with its buoyant waters. Further south, visit the chiseled-out architecture of the famous city of Petra, or roam the quintessential desert of Wadi Rum, just east of Jordan’s only coastal city, Aqaba.
