Private car and driver between Jeddah and Riyadh, in either direction. Fixed fare from 1,000 SAR per vehicle, with prayer and rest stops included, from your door to your destination.

✓ Fixed fares ✓ Flight tracking included ✓ Licensed drivers

Across the Kingdom in one private car

The drive between Jeddah and Riyadh is about 950 km and usually takes nine to ten hours. In a private car you leave when you are ready, stop for prayer, food and rest when you need to, and arrive at your door rather than an airport or bus station.

The fare is fixed per vehicle and the same in both directions, so a family of four pays 1,000 SAR between them in a Camry, from Jeddah to Riyadh or Riyadh to Jeddah.

Travelling Between Jeddah and Riyadh by Private Car

The route

The drive between Jeddah and Riyadh crosses the width of the Kingdom — around 950 km on the main highway inland via Makkah’s ring road and Taif, then east across the Najd plateau to the capital. It is a long but straightforward motorway journey, and our drivers know where the good rest areas and petrol stations are along the way.

Most families plan for nine to ten hours including stops. Leaving early in the morning means arriving in daylight and avoiding the hottest part of the day in summer.

Why a private car instead of flying

A flight looks quicker, but once you add the trip to the airport, check-in, waiting and the drive at the other end, a door-to-door car is often similar in total time — and far easier with elderly parents, children or a lot of luggage. You leave when you are ready, keep your bags with you and stop whenever you need to.

Which vehicle should I book?

  • Toyota Camry — up to 4 passengers with 2 large and 2 small bags. 1,000 SAR.
  • Hyundai Staria — up to 7 passengers with 5 large and 3 small bags. 1,400 SAR.
  • Toyota Hiace — up to 11 passengers with around 10 large bags. 1,500 SAR.
  • GMC Yukon XL — up to 7 passengers with around 6 large bags, for a more premium ride. 2,500 SAR.

Prices are one way, per vehicle, and the same in both directions. On a long drive, choose a vehicle with room to spare — a Staria for a family of five with luggage is far more comfortable than a full Camry.

What is included in the fare

  • A private car and licensed driver for your group only — never shared
  • Pickup from your hotel, home or airport and drop-off at your door
  • Prayer, food and rest stops whenever you need them
  • Luggage and Zamzam water at no extra charge
  • Child seats on request, free of charge
  • No advance payment — pay your driver in cash at the end of the journey
