Driving to Oman

Post new topic

The Egyptian

Hello

What exactly do I need to drive to Oman (Oman mainland, as in Muscat or Salalah)?

Do I need any special documents/papers for my car from the RTA for instance?

I think you just need to make sure that your insurance is covering UAE & Oman.

I drove to Dubai from Muscat two weeks ago and was not asked to provide any papers or documents related to the car. However before travelling I contacted the Car Rental company since my car is rented one and they gave me a kind of NOC to drive the car to Dubai together with the insurance certificate (But I didn't use these documents at all in fact)

Hope that helps :)

I own my car and it is not mortgaged so I do not think I need any NOCs.

My insurance covers only the hinterlands of Oman, not the mainland. Where can I buy supplementary insurance for Oman?

Man, you drove FROM Oman, I need to drive TO Oman.

I understood your message and was just sharing my experince driving from Oman, hope other members can give you better insight on the matter.

The insurance you can easily buy it at the border.
