I’m from the USA and I am planning a trip to Oman in a couple of months with my wife and toddler. We’ll fly into Abu Dhabi, stay for a few days, rent a car from Hertz, and then drive to Muscat.
Can anyone share advice on the Oman boarding crossing with a rental car situation?
My understanding is that I’ll need Hertz to provide me with proof of insurance for Oman, as well as a NOC certificate (no objection cert). I have confirmed with Hertz that they can provide these things when I pickup the car.
I also read that I should get visas online to save time at the border. And that I should take the Hatta crossing (which unfortunately looks a little out of the way).
Any other advice or recommendations? Am I forgetting anything regarding insurance, forms from the rental agency, etc? Am I crazy for doing this vs hiring a driver? I think not, but would love some reassurance.
I thought about flying, but we’ll have just taken a 15hr flight to AUH, and going back to the airport with a toddler will be the last thing I’ll want to do.
