Our car rental services in detail

Airport car rental service

Booking a vehicle before you even land is the first decision that changes a trip. As soon as you collect your bags, your car is waiting — no queue, no negotiation, no improvisation. The airport car rental service works on a simple principle: you choose online, you receive an immediate confirmation, and you hit the road.

This service covers 11 airports across Algeria. Whether you land in Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Annaba, Tlemcen, Batna, Setif, Bejaia or Jijel, your vehicle is reserved in your name, guaranteed without substitution.

11 airports, one online reservation

Organizing your mobility in Algeria should not be a source of stress. The Safar El Amir platform lets you select your arrival point, your pick-up date, and the model suited to your stay — all in a few minutes, from anywhere in the world.

The booking confirmation arrives instantly. No uncertainty about availability, no waiting at the counter. You know exactly what awaits you on landing.

The 9 cities covered follow the country's main travel routes: the north coast, the interior metropolises, and the gateways to the Grand Sud. Wherever you begin your journey, the rest is organized from there.

Payment at pick-up: a deposit equal to one day's rental is payable online by card. The remaining balance is settled on site, in cash, euros or dinars. This option involves a 4,050 DA surcharge.

The deposit amount depends on the level of protection subscribed:

Unlimited mileage, drive without counting

Algeria is vast. Between Algiers and Tlemcen, the distance exceeds 360 kilometers. Between Oran and Tamanrasset, the road approaches 1,500 kilometers. Framing your trip within a daily package would mean constraining the journey before it even begins.

The unlimited mileage option removes this constraint. An unplanned stop, a detour to a beach, a mountain pass worth stopping for — you compose your itinerary as the mood takes you, without watching the odometer or dreading a line on the final invoice.

Frequently asked questions about our car rental services in Algeria

Can you rent a car at Algiers airport without a credit card?

Yes. Without a European bank card, the pay-at-pick-up option lets you pay a deposit online and settle the balance in cash on site — euros or dinars accepted. A 4,050 DA surcharge applies. A bank card is nevertheless still required for the guarantee imprint. Contact the team via WhatsApp to explore the available alternatives.

The chauffeur-driven service is available in Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Tlemcen and Annaba. For any other itinerary or inter-wilaya travel, each request is studied individually. A quote is provided within 24 to 48 hours via our agencies.

What documents are needed to rent a car in Algeria?

Three documents are enough: a valid driving license with a minimum of 2 years' seniority, a valid ID, and a European Visa or Mastercard bank card for the guarantee imprint. The minimum age is 21 — 26 or 30 depending on the vehicle category. See the general terms for the full detail.

Is unlimited mileage included automatically?

No. The basic package includes 250 km per day. The unlimited mileage option is available at booking from 810 DA/day depending on the category. Any uncovered overage is charged between 54 and 81 DA per kilometer on return.

How does the airport transfer with Safar El Amir work?

Book in advance, specifying your airport, your flight number and your destination. A driver awaits you at the arrivals exit, name sign in hand. The service covers the 11 airports in the network, 24/7, on departure as well as arrival. Pricing depends on the distance and vehicle type — quote provided before confirmation.
