What is an Umrah taxi package?
An Umrah taxi package puts the main journeys of your pilgrimage into one booking instead of several. You send your flights and hotels once, we plan each leg around them, and you get one fixed price for the whole trip before you travel. The package covers 3 to 5 legs, in any vehicle class from an economy sedan to a family van or group bus.
Our drivers hold Makkah permits, the legs include Ihram stops at the Miqat where your road passes one, and we keep the same driver for several legs where possible.
Which legs are included?
Most packages follow this order. If you fly into Madinah, it runs the other way.
- Jeddah Airport to your Makkah hotel: 102 km, about 1 h 25 min, with meet-and-greet at arrivals.
- Makkah Ziyarat (optional): Jabal al-Nour, Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat in about 3 to 4 hours.
- Makkah to Madinah: 450 km, about 4 h 30 min, with rest and prayer stops.
- Madinah Ziyarat: Masjid Quba, Mount Uhud and Masjid al-Qiblatayn in one morning, about 3 to 4 hours.
- Madinah hotel to Madinah Airport, 18 km, or to Jeddah Airport, 402 km, if your flight home leaves from there.
What does an Umrah taxi package cost?
Your package price is confirmed as one fixed total on WhatsApp. As a guide, here is each leg at our standard fares, per vehicle, by day.
| Leg | Economy sedan (1–3) | Comfort MPV (4–6) | Family van (7–11) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeddah Airport to Makkah hotel | SAR 180 | SAR 260 | SAR 330 |
| Makkah to Madinah | SAR 770 | SAR 1,130 | SAR 1,440 |
| Madinah Ziyarat, 3 hours | SAR 240 | SAR 360 | SAR 450 |
| Madinah hotel to Madinah Airport | SAR 60 | SAR 90 | SAR 120 |
| Total, four legs | SAR 1,250 | SAR 1,840 | SAR 2,340 |
| Optional: Makkah Ziyarat, 3 hours | SAR 240 | SAR 360 | SAR 450 |
| Instead of Madinah Airport: Madinah to Jeddah Airport | SAR 690 | SAR 1,010 | SAR 1,290 |
What does that mean per person?
Because the price is per vehicle, a family of 6 in a Comfort MPV pays about SAR 307 each for the four legs, and 11 people in a family van about SAR 213 each. A leg between 00:00 and 05:00 adds 20% to that leg, and the quote shows it.
Flying into Madinah instead?
Many pilgrims fly into Madinah and out of Jeddah. The package then runs from Madinah Airport to your hotel (SAR 60 in an economy sedan), Madinah to Makkah (SAR 770) and Makkah to Jeddah Airport (SAR 180). On the way from Madinah to Makkah, the driver stops at Dhul Hulayfah, the Miqat of Madinah, when you ask, so you can enter Ihram. Our guide to Miqat stops by car explains the stop.
What is included in every leg?
- Fuel, any tolls and the driver.
- Flight tracking and 60 minutes of free waiting after landing, with a name board at arrivals.
- Rest, prayer and Miqat stops on the long legs.
- Drop-off at your hotel, or the nearest open drop point when roads near the Haram are closed.
- Help with luggage, up to the vehicle's capacity.
- The driver's name and plate the day before each leg.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
Which vehicle suits your group?
Count suitcases as well as people, and leave room for Zamzam on the way home. An economy sedan takes up to 3 passengers and 2 suitcases, a Comfort MPV 6 and 5, and a family van 11 and 10. Our family vans are permitted for the Makkah central area.
Groups of 12 or more can use group buses with 22 to 50 seats; see Umrah transport for groups. For a wheelchair user, a ramp-equipped van carries the chair and up to 4 companions.
What the package does not cover
The package is transport only. It does not include your Umrah permit, visa, hotel, train tickets or entry to any site.
You need an Umrah permit booked through the Nusuk app, and only Muslims may enter Makkah. Rules change, so confirm them on Nusuk or with the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah before you travel; our Nusuk permit guide explains the steps. In the Hajj season, transport runs under separate Hajj permits, so book our Hajj transport service instead.
