It took quite a while to complete the procedures in the arrival lobby. After completing the procedures, it was easy to find the parking lot, which took about 5 minutes. The vehicle was a little old, but the interior was clean and there were no problems driving it. There were no particular problems when returning it. It seems that it takes a month for the deposit to be refunded. The tank was not full when I picked it up.

Excellent rental company. I was met at the airport and driven to the office. The car drove all over Oman and was in good condition. When I signed the contract, they wanted to exclude the Salalah region from the unlimited mileage, but after I told them I was planning to drive all over Oman, they removed that clause from the contract, and the car covered over 3,500 km in 12 days. I recommend them to everyone. Very good service!

A very good company, only positive impressions left, we were in an accident with a car, they helped us and gave us instructions on what we should do next, they also returned the cash deposit, since we needed cash, agreeing to write to us within 2 weeks if a fine comes and we would pay it ourselves

Exit the passenger terminal and go down to the first floor. Contact the counter to get the documents quickly and walk to the P2 parking building and go down to the first floor to get the car. Check the car equipment quickly and get the car right away.

Apart from the fact that it's a bit far to get to the P2 parking lot, everything else is fine.

The car was practically new, with only 36km on the clock, very comfortable and easy to drive. It was a bit tricky finding the Budget office at the airport, though, as they share it with another company and the sign is quite small.

My car had completely worn brake pads, which is very dangerous. There were a few dents in the bodywork, but everything else runs fine. The prices were very reasonable and competitive. The service was quite simple and quick. The staff were friendly.

Why Renting a Car in Muscat is a Smart Choice
Muscat is not a city to visit by peering out of a bus window. It's vast, sprawling, and full of surprises that do not necessarily go on a public transport itinerary. Having your own car to drive places keeps you in control, allowing you to explore from the stunning curve of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque to the rock-strewn, sea-battered cliffs beyond the city. Whether you're looking for sunset photography or for hidden wadis, driving yourself just makes it that much simpler.
