Well, renting a car and driving in Iran is a huge adventure because of the driving code dominant here. It doesn’t mean I’ve not seen anyone doing that, but it’s a lot of hassle. Maybe a motorbike or even bicycle is less dangerous.

If you want to rent a car, I must say it’s not so common and such companies are not well-prepared to let their cars hired by foreigners. You can just rent it with a driver. In that case, you have to pay for his food and accommodation as well. As a result, you will have to get a tour package with a driver or driver-guide.

Fuel prices has gone up in recent months. As you cannot get a card issued for subsidized oil, you have to buy the non-subsidized, and pay a bit higher. Of course, we Iranians can get only 60 liters of lower-priced oil per month, not more. And it’s not sufficient for us either.

You have to pay 700 Iranian Rials, meaning you have to pay 6.36 USD for 10 liters of gasoline.

Would you recommend seeing a lot by rental in Iran? I’m curious as to what the rental and fuel prices might be.

That’s how you get to see whatever you want to see. In countries where there are lots of sights and life outside cities, you will miss a lot if you don’t travel by land.

With those gas prices alone it would be hard not to drive 🙂
