Why families choose a private car
The train, the bus and ride-hail can cost less. Here is what each one does and does not do for a family with luggage.
Jeddah Airport to Makkah: private transfer, train, bus, or ride-hail?
A private transfer is the door-to-door option for families, elderly travelers, and luggage. The train or the bus can cost less, and each one still needs another ride at the station or the stop.

Questions
Everything pilgrims ask before they book
How much is a taxi from Jeddah Airport to Makkah?
A private transfer from Jeddah Airport to Makkah starts from SAR 350 per vehicle, tolls included. Toyota Camry from SAR 350, Hyundai Staria from SAR 450, GMC Yukon XL from SAR 650. The price is for the whole car, not per person.
How does the 20% reservation work and when do I pay the rest?
Pay 20% online and your vehicle and captain are reserved and your fare is locked from that moment. You pay the balance after you reach your destination. Airport pickups are always reserved online, so your captain is assigned before you land.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
The fare is per vehicle, not per person. One private car and one captain are reserved for your group, so the price stays the same however many of you travel, up to the seats in the vehicle. Tolls are included.
Will my captain wait if my flight is delayed?
Yes. Your captain tracks your flight and meets you on arrival. Waiting is free for 90 minutes after landing on every airport pickup, so a delay, an immigration queue, or slow luggage does not cost you your ride.
How do I know who is picking me up?
Before pickup we send your captain’s name and the vehicle plate on WhatsApp. On airport arrivals that message reaches you before you land, so you know exactly who to look for.
Are you licensed, and who operates the rides?
UmrahTransit is run by Fakhama Groups LLC, a registered company in Makkah. Every transfer is carried out by a TGA-licensed transport partner in a licensed vehicle, to our service standards. Before pickup you receive your captain’s name and vehicle plate on WhatsApp.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Plans change, and we make it easy. Changing your date or time is free. Message us on WhatsApp and we will move your pickup when a vehicle is available. If you need to cancel, tell us at least 48 hours before pickup and your payment becomes UmrahTransit credit for your next trip, valid for 12 months. Full details are on our cancellation page.
How does travel credit work?
Book again with the same email and WhatsApp number and we apply your credit to your next trip. The trip price stays the same, you just pay less. It is yours or your family’s to use for 12 months, and you can check your balance any time at umrahtransit.com/credit.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Pay by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, or Google Pay on Stripe’s secure card page. Apple Pay and Google Pay appear on supported devices. Card checkout shows US dollars. Your trip price stays in SAR. Hotel and city trips can also be paid to your captain in cash. A cash booking does not reserve a vehicle, so we recommend the 20% online payment, which reserves your vehicle and locks your fare.
Makkah to Madinah: private car or Haramain train?
A private car starts from SAR 550 per vehicle and goes from your Makkah hotel to your Madinah hotel. The Haramain train is station to station, so you still need a car at each end. Families, elderly travelers, and luggage usually prefer the door-to-door car. The train can cost less if you are happy to change vehicles.
Can you take a large family, elderly parents, or a wheelchair user?
Yes. Choose a vehicle that seats your group, from a sedan to a van. Elderly parents ride in the same private car, and your captain gives personal assistance throughout the journey. A wheelchair can be provided on request, and the captain assists if you need help boarding.
Do you operate during Ramadan and Hajj?
Yes. Airport transfers, intercity routes, Ziyarat, and day trips run through Ramadan and Hajj, with seasonal fares on the routes that use them. Hourly chauffeur hire pauses in those seasons. Day trips with a dedicated driver stay available.
Can non-Muslims be driven to Makkah?
Makkah entry depends on Muslim status and visa eligibility. If your documents do not allow entry to Makkah, we cannot take you there. Jeddah, Madinah, Taif, AlUla, Yanbu, and Riyadh transfers follow the rules for those places.
Which languages do captains speak?
Our captains and support team speak English, Arabic, Urdu and Hindi.
Your arrival, sorted.
Tell us the airport, the hotel and the date. The price is fixed before you pay the 20% that reserves your captain.
