Why listing matters
Insurance and liability depend on authorised use. The primary renter cannot simply give permission to another person without updating the agreement.
How to add a driver
Send the driver’s documents, wait for approval and receive the amended agreement or written confirmation before handing over the keys.
Practical example
A spouse who plans to share driving must be approved even when the primary renter remains in the vehicle.
Before you book
- Declare every intended driver.
- Complete checks before the trip.
- Obtain the amended agreement.
- Confirm any fee.
Al Madina policy
Final eligibility, charges and rental conditions depend on document verification, the selected vehicle, availability, insurer requirements and the confirmed rental agreement. Obtain written confirmation before payment or handover.
