A private, pre-booked cab service designed specifically for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims travelling between the major transit corridors: Jeddah Airport (JED), Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah.
You book in advance from home, your driver meets you at the airport, and takes you door-to-door to your hotel — with no shared passengers, no meter running, and no price surprises on arrival.
Transparent flat pricing per vehicle, not per person. All toll charges included.

Important Note: All fares are per vehicle, not per person. Miqat stops are included free of charge. A seasonal surcharge of 15–25% applies during Ramadan and Hajj season — book early to secure current rates.
You've spent months planning this trip. The visa is sorted, the hotel is booked, the flights are confirmed. And then you land at Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport — Terminal 1, 2am, exhausted after 12 to 20 hours in the air — and the first thing you see are drivers approaching you with inflated prices, no meter, no proof of licensing, no way to know who's legitimate and who isn't.
It happens every single day at JED. Unregistered taxis waiting in the arrivals hall quote SAR 400 to SAR 500 for a ride that should cost SAR 240. Pilgrims arriving from Birmingham, Toronto, Chicago, and Sydney — after a transatlantic or transpacific journey — are in no position to negotiate on the spot in an unfamiliar airport in a language that isn't theirs.
That is the problem we exist to solve.
Your driver is positioned at the arrivals exit with your name sign — before you clear the door.
The price is fixed in writing before you fly. Not "approximately." Exactly.
You pay cash to the driver on arrival at your hotel. Not before. Never before.
If your flight lands three hours late, your driver waits. No calls, no extra charges.
If you have an elderly parent who walks slowly and needs luggage carried — your driver helps without being asked.
If you need a Miqat stop — your driver knows where it is, stops automatically, and gives you as long as you need.
We track all incoming flights at King Abdulaziz International Airport (IATA: JED) and Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport (IATA: MED) in real time using live GACA radar. If your flight lands two hours late, your driver adjusts automatically. No calls required from your side. No additional waiting charges for delays up to 60 minutes.
Over 16.9 million foreign pilgrims performed Umrah in 2024 — a number that grows every year as Saudi Arabia expands toward its Vision 2030 target of 30 million annual pilgrims. Whether you are making your first journey to the holy cities or your tenth, we have the right vehicle, the right driver, and the right fare for every route pilgrims travel.
King Abdulaziz International Airport (IATA: JED) sits 85 km from Makkah Al-Mukarramah via the Haramain Expressway. The journey takes 75 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. Terminal 1 handles the majority of international arrivals — approximately 82% of all Umrah pilgrims enter Saudi Arabia here. The North Terminal serves additional international routes. The Hajj Terminal operates seasonally during Hajj season only.

Book Jeddah Airport to Makkah Transfer →For pilgrims who choose to visit Madinah first — a spiritually meaningful itinerary that follows the Sunnah — the 420 km drive from Jeddah Airport to Madinah takes 4 to 5 hours. This is the preferred route for families who want to begin their journey with salah at Masjid al-Nabawi before performing Umrah at the Haram.

Camry from SAR 120.
Book Madinah Airport Transfer →After completing Umrah at Masjid al-Haram, most pilgrims travel to Madinah Al-Munawwarah to pray at Masjid al-Nabawi and visit the holy sites of the city of the Prophet ﷺ. The distance is approximately 435 km via the Haramain Expressway (Route 80). With a private taxi, you depart from your hotel lobby — whether you are in the Aziziyah district (24243), Ajyad (21955), near Abraj al-Bait (the Clock Tower), or in Kudai (24352) — and arrive at your Madinah hotel directly, without a single vehicle change.
Journey time: 4.5 to 5 hours non-stop. With prayer and rest breaks: 5.5 to 6 hours. What is included: your driver, fuel, full air conditioning, hotel pickup and hotel drop-off, and one scheduled rest stop.
The Haramain High-Speed Railway covers Makkah–Madinah in approximately 2 hours, but its stations are around 10 km from Masjid Haram and Masjid Nabawi. With additional taxi journeys, 25kg luggage limit, fixed schedules, and no Miqat stop, a private door-to-door taxi is often more practical for families with children, elderly passengers, large luggage, or a stroller.

Book Makkah to Madinah Transfer →For pilgrims travelling from Madinah to Makkah to perform Umrah, your route passes Masjid Dhul Hulayfah — known as Bir Ali or Abyar Ali — the Miqat boundary for this direction. This is where you must enter the state of Ihram before approaching Makkah.
Your driver stops here automatically. You have time to make wudu, change into Ihram, pray two rak'ah, and make your niyyah. No one will rush you. No time limit. The Miqat stop is included in your fare at no extra charge.
This is one of the most practically important services we provide — and one that pilgrims mention consistently in their reviews. Pilgrims have arrived in Makkah without having stopped at Miqat simply because their transport provider drove past it. Our drivers do not.

Book Madinah to Makkah Transfer →After completing Tawaf and Sa'i at Masjid al-Haram, many pilgrims want to visit the historical sites surrounding Makkah Al-Mukarramah — voluntary acts of reflection and connection to early Islamic history. Your private Ziyarat car departs from your hotel lobby and covers:
Book Makkah Ziyarat Tour →Madinah Al-Munawwarah holds the second holiest mosque in Islam — Masjid al-Nabawi, built by the Prophet ﷺ upon his migration from Makkah in 622 CE. The Rawdah al-Sharifah, the sacred garden between the Prophet's pulpit and his chamber, is described in hadith as one of the gardens of Paradise. Your private Ziyarat driver departs from your hotel and covers:
Book Madinah Ziyarat Tour →Taif (Al-Ta'if) sits 75 km southeast of Makkah in the Hejaz Mountains at 1,800 metres above sea level — cool, fragrant with roses, and strikingly different from the desert heat below. The Prophet ﷺ made a historically significant and deeply moving visit to Taif in 619 CE. The site where he ﷺ rested and where a Christian slave named Addas offered him grapes is marked by Masjid Addas.
Book Taif Ziyarat Transfer →The five Miqat boundaries define where pilgrims must enter the state of Ihram before approaching Makkah. Which Miqat applies to you depends on the direction you are travelling from: Masjid Dhul Hulayfah / Bir Ali / Abyar Ali, Masjid al-Taneem (Masjid Aisha), Masjid al-Ji'rranah, Qarn al-Manazil (Al-Sail al-Kabir), and Yalamlam (Al-Sa'diyah).
If you are unsure which Miqat applies to your route, ask your driver. Our drivers know all five boundaries and will advise you correctly.
Yes. A round-trip Miqat taxi from your Makkah hotel to Masjid al-Taneem (Masjid Aisha), including waiting time while you change into Ihram and pray two rak'ah, starts from SAR 100 for a Camry. Your driver waits at the mosque, returns you to the Haram entrance, and the entire process takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
We are a dedicated local brand focusing on safety, transparency, and pilgrim coordination.
Every vehicle operating under our service holds valid Transport General Authority (TGA) registration and is listed on the Nusuk platform — the official Saudi government system for managing licensed Umrah transport. (TGA Reg No: TGA-966-2026 / Nusuk Trans ID: NUSUK-TRANS-2026)
Your fare is agreed before we confirm your booking. No meter. No negotiation on arrival. No surprise surcharges. You pay the driver in cash when you reach your destination safely — not a single riyal before.
We monitor your flight using live GACA radar at both JED and MED airports. If your flight is delayed, your driver adjusts automatically. Up to 60 minutes free waiting time after landing included.
Our drivers know the holy sites, the Miqat points, the prayer times, and what your pilgrimage means. They stop for Salah without being asked. They wait at Miqat while you enter Ihram.

Your Safety, Our Priority
Alhamdulillah — our reputation is built entirely on the experiences of pilgrims who trusted us with their journey. These are their words.
"Driver Anas was polite, professional, and always on time. The car was clean and comfortable, and the journey was smooth. His service made our Umrah travel easy and stress-free. I highly recommend this company and Anas."
"Driver Kashif was patiently waiting at arrivals with a smile. The car was spotless, he drove incredibly safely, and the journey felt like a private VIP tour. He helped with all our luggage and made us feel completely taken care of."
"Driver Farhad was punctual, very professional, very good company, and looked after all our needs throughout the journey from Makkah to Madinah. I would definitely recommend this service."
"I'm from Chicago and this was my first time for Umrah. We had a wonderful experience — brand new cars, excellent drivers, no complaints. Professional, everything as promised, and even better than promised. Highly recommend for any future travels."
Our drivers serve families from Sparkhill in Birmingham, first-time pilgrims from Dearborn in Michigan, couples from Mississauga in Ontario, Indonesian families from Jakarta, and Pakistani groups from Lahore taking their elderly parents for what may be a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Every single one of those trips deserves transport that does not cause a single extra moment of worry.
Serving London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bradford. We coordinate school holidays booking windows (February, Easter, Summer, October). English & Urdu-speaking drivers.

A Pakistani-British family of nine arrived at Terminal 1 at 04:20 — two parents, five children, and a grandmother in her late seventies using a wheelchair following a recent hip replacement. They had eleven bags and a pushchair.
We upgraded the vehicle from a Staria to a HiAce before they landed, briefed the driver on the grandmother's needs, and positioned him at the least congested section of the arrivals exit. The family boarded without difficulty and reached their Aziziyah hotel by 05:55.
"My parents said the driver was the most patient person they met on the entire trip." — Daughter, Birmingham, UK
What this means for you: Travelling with elderly parents or anyone with mobility needs? Tell us when you book — not on the day. Vehicle allocation, driver briefing, and pickup positioning are all adjusted in advance at no extra charge.
An Indonesian family of five — including three children aged 5, 8, and 11 — arrived at Terminal 1 at 14:30 in July. Outside temperature was 43°C. None of the children had experienced Gulf summer heat before.
The Staria was pre-cooled to 20°C and held in a shaded bay. The driver collected the family from inside the air-conditioned arrivals hall — not the outdoor kerb — limiting their heat exposure to under 90 seconds. Cold water was loaded and ready. The children were asleep within 20 minutes.
"We did not have to worry about our children even for one moment." — Mother, Jakarta, Indonesia
What this means for you: Travelling in summer with young children? Confirm your pickup is from the indoor arrivals area when booking. Every summer transfer is pre-cooled before we leave the bay — it is standard, not an upgrade.
We pick up from all hotel zones: Abraj al-Bait (Swissotel, Raffles, Fairmont), Ajyad district (21955) (Hilton Suites, Dar al-Tawhid), Aziziyah district (24243) (popular South Asian family hub), Kudai district (24352), Rusaifah and Jarwal. Drop-offs directly at Masjid al-Haram gates.
We serve all hotel zones: Central Area (Markaziyah) near Masjid al-Nabawi, Sahl Harun hotel cluster, Al-Anbariyyah Zone, and King Fahd Road hotel corridor. Real-time Prince Mohammad Airport (MED) pick-ups.
Every vehicle operating under our service is TGA (Transport General Authority) licensed, Nusuk platform registered (2026 compliant), modern 2023-2025 models, regularly inspected, and carries full passenger insurance. Our drivers are background-verified, do not speed, and understand that driving an Umrah pilgrim is a sacred duty.
Full Safety Policy →Makkah sits in a hot desert climate. During the 2024 Hajj season in mid-June, temperatures inside and around Masjid al-Haram reached 51.8°C. This is not a warning to discourage you — it is a fact you deserve to know so you can plan your Umrah safely.
| Month | Makkah High | Madinah High | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov – Feb | 25–35°C | 15–28°C | Best season. Cool days, cold Madinah nights. Book early. |
| Mar – Apr | 30–40°C | 22–35°C | Good. Warm but manageable with early morning scheduling. |
| May – Jun | 35–44°C | 28–42°C | Limit outdoor Ziyarat to before 9am and after Maghrib. |
| Jul – Aug | 38–45°C+ | 30–44°C | Extreme. Overnight and early Ziyarat only. Stay hydrated. |
| Sep – Oct | 32–43°C | 26–40°C | Improving. Good value in the post-Hajj period. |
| Ramadan (Feb–Mar 2026) | Varies | Varies | Peak spiritual season. 15–25% fare surcharge. Book 4–6 weeks early. |
Ramadan 2026 (1447H) runs approximately 28 February to 28 March 2026. This is the most spiritually rewarding period for Umrah and the most logistically demanding. Hotels sell out months ahead, transport rates increase by 15–25%, and wait times for everything grow. If you are planning Ramadan Umrah, secure your transport booking alongside your hotel and flight.
There are no forms to fill, no accounts to create, no apps to download.
Send your travel details: pickup location · destination · date and time · number of passengers · number of bags.
We confirm your vehicle, your fare, and your driver's name. Insha'Allah within 60 minutes.
Before your journey, we send your driver's name, photo, and contact number so you can share it with family.
When you reach your destination hotel, you pay the driver directly in cash (Saudi Riyals).
For standard routes like Jeddah Airport to Makkah, you can book on the day. For HiAce and Coaster bookings, group transfers, and travel during Ramadan or peak Umrah season, we recommend booking at least one week ahead. During Ramadan 1447H (approximately February to March 2026), vehicles fill fast. Lock in your fare early.
Umrah Car Rentals was founded in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, with operational coordinators in Jeddah and Madinah. We have been coordinating Umrah pilgrim transport across the holy cities since 2014 and have personally served thousands of families from over 40 countries.
When you WhatsApp us, you are talking to someone who has driven the Makkah–Madinah route hundreds of times, who knows every rest stop, every prayer area, and every hotel entrance in both cities. We are not a faceless booking platform. We are a team of drivers, coordinators, and pilgrimage-aware professionals who understand that every journey we facilitate is a sacred one.
A private Umrah taxi from Jeddah Airport (KAIA, Terminal 1) to Makkah costs SAR 240 for a Toyota Camry (4 passengers), SAR 300 for a Hyundai Staria (7 passengers), SAR 400 for a GMC Yukon XL (7 passengers + heavy luggage), and SAR 450 for a Toyota HiAce (11 passengers). All fares are per vehicle and fixed — confirmed before your booking is accepted, with zero advance payment required. During Ramadan and Hajj season, a surcharge of 15–25% applies.
A Toyota Camry (4 passengers) from Makkah to Madinah costs from SAR 450. A Hyundai Staria (7 passengers) costs from SAR 600. A Toyota HiAce (11 passengers) costs from SAR 750. A GMC Yukon (7 passengers) costs from SAR 900. All fares are per vehicle. A family of seven in a Staria pays SAR 600 total — approximately SAR 86 per person for a 4.5-hour door-to-door private journey. A free Miqat stop at Dhul Hulayfah is included.
Yes, without exception. For pilgrims travelling from Madinah to Makkah to perform Umrah, your driver stops at Masjid Dhul Hulayfah (Bir Ali / Abyar Ali) — the designated Miqat for this route. You have time to make wudu, change into Ihram, pray two rak'ah, and make your niyyah before continuing. The stop is included in your fare with no time limit and no extra charge.
The best Umrah taxi service is one that is TGA-licensed, carries transparent fixed pricing, has verifiable third-party reviews on Google, Trustpilot, and TripAdvisor, offers English and Urdu-speaking drivers, and provides 24/7 availability with pre-booking from overseas. A licensed service pre-booked from home — where your driver has your name, has tracked your flight, and is standing at the arrivals exit before you walk through — is safer and more reliable than any taxi negotiated on arrival at the airport.
Yes. Uber and Careem operate in both cities for short local trips. However, Uber does not offer intercity service between Makkah and Madinah. It also does not stop at Miqat points, cannot reliably accommodate large luggage or strollers, cannot be pre-booked from overseas, and does not provide meet-and-greet at the airport. For a family arriving from a 12-hour flight with large bags, an elderly parent, and the need for a Miqat stop — a pre-booked private Umrah taxi is the correct choice. Full Uber vs private taxi guide →
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Send your travel details via WhatsApp from anywhere in the world, weeks or months before your trip. You will receive confirmation, your driver's details, and a fixed fare. No requirement to be in Saudi Arabia to secure your booking.
No. Zero advance payment. You pay the driver directly in cash — Saudi Riyals — upon reaching your destination hotel. Some pilgrims pay by bank transfer on arrival. No deposit, no card, no upfront payment of any kind.
We track all incoming flights at Jeddah Airport (JED) and Madinah Airport (MED) using live GACA radar. If your flight lands late, your driver adjusts automatically. We offer up to 60 minutes free waiting time after landing, and any additional waiting beyond that is discussed transparently — not charged without notice.
Most of our drivers speak both English and Urdu. Many speak Arabic. For Indonesian and Malay-speaking pilgrims, communication is managed via WhatsApp. You will always be able to reach us in English at any hour.
Yes. Before your journey, we send you your driver's full name, photo, and contact number so you can share it with your family. All our drivers are background-verified. If you would like an Urdu or Bengali-speaking driver, please mention it when booking. Umrah taxi guide for solo sisters →
Yes. For elderly pilgrims, we recommend the Hyundai Staria — its wide sliding door, low step height, and high roofline make boarding significantly easier than a standard sedan. Our drivers are patient and will not place any time pressure during Ziyarat stops. If you need specific accessibility features, WhatsApp us before booking.
A private Umrah taxi is reserved exclusively for your group. No other passengers, no additional stops. You depart when you are ready, stop where you need to stop, and arrive directly at your hotel. A shared taxi picks up multiple groups of strangers and may stop three or four times en route, adding an hour or more. For families with young children, elderly passengers, or any amount of luggage — private is the only sensible choice.
May Allah make your Umrah easy, accepted, and filled with barakah. Our role is simply to ensure that every journey between the holy sites is safe, comfortable, and handled with the care your pilgrimage deserves.
Serving pilgrims from the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, and Saudi Arabia.
All vehicles TGA licensed and Nusuk registered.
