The minimum age to rent a car in Oman is 21. However, while many larger car rental companies like Sixt will allow 21-year-olds to rent a car, many smaller agencies won’t allow drivers under 25 to rent a car. If you’re under 25, be sure to check with your agency before completing your reservation. You will be able to rent a car with the driver’s license issued by your home country, so there’s no need to obtain an international driving permit if you don’t have one already.
