Impossible to answer unless you tell us how often and where do you need to go.
Car can be rented for around 160 KWD a month, possibly for less. If you need to commute daily then it is most of the time a cheaper option.

HI Becaq

I'll be in more or less聽 similar situation to you from September. I'm moving to Kuwait to take up a job, and weighing up the options regarding transport.
A colleague has suggested the possibility of leasing a car for an extended period, but has more strongly suggested that buying is preferable.
My sense is that most good vehicles are slightly more expensive to buy in Kuwait that in the UK where I am currently, but this may just be my own perception.
Good luck

I recommend you to buy a second hand car better than renting.

Thank you for tour replies!

We will need to get around quite a bit so we will probably end up buying a used car.

As for licenses what is the procedure? Do I need to get my International driving license?

Until your residency is completed you can and should use your international driving license. However, once you get a residency you are in for a world of pain unless you know someone who knows someone, if you get my drift.

In order to get a driving license you need to:
1. Be a university graduate
2. Earn a monthly salary of at least KD 600
3. Be a resident of Kuwait for not less than two years

There are certain professions that are exempted from the above requirements. You can check the details here:



So if you are a "washer of dead bodies" for example, you're in luck!

Darn, I knew I had made the wrong career choice! 馃槀馃槀馃槀

Thanks for the link! It鈥檚 good to know these things. Considering my husband company doesn鈥檛 leave people at a location for more than 2 years it seems that getting a license won鈥檛 be easy for us.
Hopefully his company can sort something out 馃し馃徎鈥嶁檧锔�

Fingers crossed! Bigger companies who value their employees usually can.

Wasta is the word of the day here. Get in touch with your prospective employer ASAP to see if they can help. If your husband gets one and you're bringing kids you get one pretty much automatically I believe

Hello, i would like to know more about Kuwait
