Sea
Dhows and other small craft may be hired for trips to the off shore islands.
Road
There is a reliable road network between the cities and driving is on the right.
Bus
The Kuwait Transport Company operates a nationwide service which is both trustworthy and inexpensive.
Taxi
These are recognisable by red licence plates and may be hired by the day, in which case fares should be agreed in advance. Share taxis are also available. Taxis can be phoned and this service is well known and reliable. A standard rate is appropriate in most taxis, but those at hotel ranks are more expensive. Tipping is not expected.
Car hire
Self drive car rental is available. If you produce an International Driving Permit, the rental company will, within 5 days, grant a temporary local licence valid for 1 month.
Documentation
An International Driving Permit is required. A temporary driving licence is offered from local authorities on presentation of a valid British or Northern Ireland driving licence. Insurance must be arranged with the Gulf Insurance Company or the Kuwait Insurance Company.
