Car Rental in Manama Center

Downtown Manama is Bahrain's vibrant capital with Bab Al-Bahrain market, Gold Souq, and the modern Bahrain Financial Harbour side by side. Four car rental companies are stationed downtown, offering good opportunities to explore the entire island nation. From the center you can reach King Fahd Causeway toward Saudi Arabia in approximately 20 minutes (15 km to the north).

Al Fateh Grand Mosque, one of the world's largest mosques, is located approximately 4 km to the south along the coast. Park at Bab Al-Bahrain and explore the souq on foot – the streets are too narrow for cars. Drive in the evening along Corniche for a magnificent view of the Manama skyline.

Book a rental car with GPS navigator – Manama's mix of old souq alleyways and modern highways can be confusing. Where are the car rental companies in downtown Manama? The 4 rental companies in downtown Manama are spread around Government Avenue and the Diplomatic Area – many also offer delivery to your hotel.

Is parking difficult in downtown Manama? Parking can be challenging in the older areas around the souq, but there are several parking garages along Government Avenue and in the Seef area approximately 3 km to the north. How long does it take to drive around all of Bahrain by rental car?

Bahrain is small – a round trip around the entire island takes approximately 2–3 hours without stops. With visits to Tree of Life, Qal'at al-Bahrain, and northern beaches, plan for a full day.
