I am American and will be moving to Bahrain in less than 3 weeks and I need some assistance. I prefer to lease a vehicle vs buy as the maintenance is included in the lease.

I am looking for a small sedan or compact car. Just something that my wife can sit up front and my 3 children in the back seat. I am hoping for about 150bd or less per month all inclusive.

Does anyone know if this is possible or where to whom to contact? I've tried contacting several agencies on google, and so far I have not had any luck getting replies.

Thank you for your help with this!

150 bd will get you a bare bones smaller car. The way to do it is to call the agencies AT the airport - google has numbers. Better chances of them picking up as someone is always there. Then pick a car from them for a week to a month depending on how good the rates are. After a week or so, you would have had the chance to see some local offers and would be able to switch. Even if you stay with the same agency, you can use the new relationship to give you a newer better car after dangling a long term lease option in front of them.

I did the same. I moved and got a basic car from SIXT first and within a month, I was driving a brand new RAV for less than 250 BD. I drove that for three months before buying my own cars when the family moved.
