Everything you need to know about renting with Dryyve
Choose your pick-up station, your dates and your times, then compare the cars quoted for your whole rental. Sign in or create an account, pick your car, add an additional driver if you want one, and confirm. You pay at the desk when you collect the car, not online.
Bring your driving licence and a passport or photo ID. Morocco requires a credit card in the driver's own name, presented physically; Saudi Arabia asks for two identity documents and a physical card. Check the expiry date too: the card must stay valid after the rental ends — six months in Bahrain, three in Saudi Arabia, 60 days in Qatar.
The price you see is the total for your whole rental, including tax and any one-way fee. A deposit is taken at the desk where the country requires one, and released after you return the car. It is held on a credit card — in the driver's own name in Morocco — and Bahrain also takes it in cash.
Cars are grouped by the local rental company. You will see Mini, Economy and Compact cars, mid-size and full-size sedans, and at some stations SUVs, vans and premium models. Dryyve markets five headline classes — Economy, Compact, SUV, Luxury and Van — but which groups are quoted depends entirely on the station and your dates.
In every country, return the car with the same fuel level as at pick-up; it need not be a full tank. If it comes back with less: Morocco charges €30 plus €10 per missing fuel bar; Bahrain BD 20 plus the missing fuel at market price; Kuwait $15 plus the missing fuel at market price; Qatar $1 per missing litre.
The included mileage is set for each car, and every car in the search results shows it. Two markets have a daily cap: Saudi Arabia, 225 km a day, and Bahrain, 200 km a day. Where the station quotes it, the price of each extra kilometre is shown on the car. The cars at our other stations quote unlimited mileage.
Join Dryyve Rewards to earn points on every rental. Accumulated points unlock tier benefits and can be redeemed for discounts on future bookings.
On most bookings, cancel at least 48 hours before pick-up and anything you paid online is refunded in full. Cancel later and it is not. Nothing is charged online before pick-up, so cancelling costs you nothing through Dryyve — but some rental companies charge their own late-cancellation or no-show fee, Qatar among them, so check your destination's conditions.
Go to the rental counter at the airport or station with your booking confirmation, your driving licence, your passport or photo ID, and a credit card for the deposit — in the driver's own name in Morocco; Bahrain also takes cash. Drop off at the same station, or a different one if you chose that.
A grace period applies before a late return is charged: 59 minutes in Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and two hours in Qatar. Qatar then charges a full day at the rate on your rental agreement. In the other countries a grace period also applies but there is no fixed late charge, so ask the desk what applies.
Yes. An additional driver is the only extra you can add to a Dryyve booking. The local rental company sets the price — free in Morocco, a daily charge in Bahrain that rises if the second driver is under 25, and quoted per vehicle in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Every additional driver must meet the same age and licence rules as you.
Our rental partners quote no child seat through the booking system today, so there is nothing for us to price or promise. If that changes, seats will appear on the extras step at the rental company's price. Meanwhile ask the office for your country before you travel — the addresses are on our contact page — or bring your own.
An additional driver is the only extra you can add and pay for through a Dryyve booking. It is priced by the local rental company and shown before you confirm. Our rental partners quote no satellite navigation or child seat today, so neither can be added online. Your country's terms page lists anything the desk arranges separately.
Whether you may drive a rental car out of the country depends on where you rent. Bahrain allows it into Saudi Arabia only, on request and for a weekly fee. Qatar does not permit it. In Morocco and Saudi Arabia it is not permitted unless the station agrees to it before you travel.
Every rental comes with basic cover (a collision damage waiver) and third-party liability. After damage you still pay an excess, set by the country and often by the car: in Morocco €1,400 for damage and €2,000 for theft, in Saudi Arabia at most SAR 4,000. Your car's exact excess is shown at checkout. Cover that lowers it is bought at the counter at pick-up.
Minimum driver age: 19, or 21 in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Maximum: 60 in Bahrain, 75 in Kuwait, 80 in Qatar, 90 in Saudi Arabia; none elsewhere. Young and senior driver fees, added automatically: Morocco €61 per rental under 25 and from 66; Bahrain BD 10 daily at 19–20, up to BD 50; Austria, Italy, Hungary €10 daily to 25, €15 from 70.
