Need a Car Moved to Another City?

New job in Riyadh, bought a car from a seller in Dammam, or sending the family car to Jeddah? You don't have to drive it yourself. Intercity car transport by flatbed (satha) moves the car door-to-door while you fly, work, or travel separately.

2026 Intercity Transport Routes

  • Riyadh ⇄ Dammam (~390 km): same day
  • Jeddah ⇄ Makkah (~80 km): 2–3 hours
  • Jeddah ⇄ Madinah (~420 km): same day
  • Riyadh ⇄ Jeddah (~950 km): same/next day
  • Makkah ⇄ Madinah (~430 km): same day

Pricing scales with distance — a short corridor like Jeddah–Makkah costs less than a long haul like Riyadh–Jeddah. Exact quotes also depend on pickup/drop-off points and vehicle size — SUVs cost slightly more, and non-running cars need a winch load (usually no extra charge with us).

Who Uses Intercity Car Transport?

  • Car buyers and sellers — the biggest group. You bought a car on Haraj from another city; we collect it from the seller and deliver it to your door.
  • Relocating families and workers moving between Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province.
  • Pilgrims and tourists whose car broke down far from home — the car goes home on a flatbed while they fly.
  • Dealerships and rental fleets repositioning vehicles.
  • Imported cars collected from Jeddah Islamic Port or Dammam port and delivered anywhere in the Kingdom.

How It Works (5 Minutes to Book)

  1. WhatsApp us both locations, the car model, and whether it runs.
  2. Get a clear price and pickup window in writing.
  3. At pickup, the driver photographs the car from all sides — your condition record.
  4. Track by phone during the trip.
  5. At delivery, check the car against the photos and hand over payment as agreed.

What to Prepare

  • Istimara (registration) copy or the sale documents if just purchased.
  • Keys — or arrange key handover with a guard/relative; you don't need to be there yourself.
  • Remove valuables; leave about a quarter tank of fuel.

Driving It Yourself vs Flatbed

Driving a just-bought used car 900 km home, uninspected, is a gamble — and adds a year of wear, fuel, and a hotel night. A flatbed costs about the same as the trip would and the car arrives with zero added kilometres. If you need to travel too, book yourself an intercity taxi on the same route and we move the car in parallel.
