Sure, you could vacation in Dammam without a rental car. But with so much to discover here, having one would certainly make life easier. If you plan to head out of the city and into the great outdoors, pick a car rental with a bit of power. A larger car like an SUV will get you to the surrounding dunes in comfort. Spending a lot of your time right in the city? A small, economical car is a great choice. Maneuvering through narrow laneways and squeezing into tight parking spots will be a piece of cake in one of these.
