Jeddah Chauffeur Service

Out of the Heat and Onto the Corniche

Jeddah's heat does most of its work before lunch, and walking out of King Abdulaziz (JED) into it after a flight is nobody's idea of a good start. Your chauffeur is watching the arrival, meets you at the terminal and takes the bags to a car that's already been run cold — so the first thing you feel on the ground is cool air, not the glare off the tarmac. From there it's a straight run in, whether you're heading for a meeting off Tahlia Street or a hotel down on the Corniche.

The city stretches a long way along the Red Sea, and the ring roads back up at the wrong hour. A driver who knows Jeddah times the run to miss the worst of it, so a trip that looks awkward on a map — the old town at Al-Balad one moment, the northern Corniche the next — simply gets done without you thinking about it. Book a single transfer or keep the car by the hour.
