I'm planning to live in Bahrain in few weeks time. My work location is Khobar. Will commute with friends till I get license in Bahrain

I would like to commute from my own car which I'm going to buy in Bahrain. What would be the likely cost monthly for the following

1. Daily toll cost
2. Causeway insurance cost. How much is weekly insurance and how much is annual insurance? Where to get it?
3. Is there any discount in toll if we buy any monthly pass or some package?

4. Can I drive cars of Bahrain bought through loan in Bahrain through to Saudi?

5. Do I need any permit to drive Bahrain car in Saudi?

Thanks in advance

1) 25 SAR each way. Total 50 SAR for return trip
2) Go check on bahrain.bh for King Fahd causeway insurance - shows for Bahrain number plates cars going into Saudi and for non-Bahrain cars entering Bahrain, both. Yearly should be around 60 BD or so. You can get it online or at the causeway - for Saudi cars, as you exit, the insurance booths are right there. For Bahrain cars, you have to get it from the insurance booth BEFORE passing causeway toll on the right as you approach the causeway
3) See this thread:

4) Not without NOC from the Bank
5) No. But you might need to have Saudi driving license if you are a resident in Saudi
