Can they rent a car here in Dubai and take it across the border to Oman and back? How much is it, say for a Toyota Yaris. And which rental place offers this? They have intl. driving licenses. Thanks in advance

Hertz do it. You have to take out the oman insurance option though.

Yes, but only certain companies will allow it for 4x4s (sorry don't know what a Yaris is). I think most will allow with sedans. If you rent a car in Oman, there are no unlimited mileage packages. So if they plan on driving a lot, then it's much cheaper to rent in Dubai and drive than to rent in Oman. I think it was 200 km/day and if you went over, it was ridiculously expensive (in our opinion). When you rent, you must tell the car company you are going to Oman. I think they also require you to get the insurance through them, not at the border. <em>edited by gleekfamily on 23/01/2011</em>

I am sure the car rental companies would be able to answer that, might be a bit more expensive to cross the border tho'
