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.

Bank imprint and deposit — what to know

The deposit is fully returned within 5 to 7 business days after the vehicle is returned in good condition.

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.
Car rental service with driver in Algeria
Some trips call for something other than a steering wheel in your hands. A business meeting across town, an arrival in an unfamiliar metropolis without having to decipher the local signage, a day of discovery where you'd rather watch the landscape go by than look for a parking spot — it is precisely for these situations that this service exists.
The chauffeur formula rests on a simple principle: you indicate your destination, your timing, your preferences. A professional driver takes care of the rest, from departure to arrival.
Business meetings, events or tourist visits
The chauffeur-driven service adapts to three main types of travel in Algeria.
For travelers on business, it's the guarantee of arriving on time, in good conditions, without having battled Algiers traffic or hunted for parking downtown. You devote the trip to your preparation, not your navigation.
For family occasions or events — ceremonies, weddings, receptions — the comfort of the vehicle and the discretion of the driver are part of the experience. Every detail is anticipated so the trip lives up to the moment.
For tourist stays, it's a different way to approach the territory. You let yourself be guided, you ask your questions, you stop where it speaks to you — without the constraints of a group excursion or the uncertainties of navigating on your own in a city you're discovering.
Drivers who know Algeria
Entrusting your travel to someone you don't know takes a certain trust. That's why each driver is selected for their professionalism, their command of the terrain and their discretion.
They know the cities where they operate — the districts, the routes, the traffic habits by hour and season. This local knowledge, hard to replace with an app, makes a real difference when every minute counts or when you're discovering a region for the first time.
The pricing of this service is communicated before pick-up. You know the amount, you confirm, and the rest belongs to the journey.
In-agency car rental service
Not every travel situation begins at an airport. You're already there, you're extending your stay, you need a vehicle for a few days without going through an online reservation — agency pick-up is made for that.
Safar El Amir agencies are located in the country's major cities. You show up, you choose your formula, and you leave with the keys. Simple, direct, with no intermediary.
What's included in your car rental
Whether you book online or show up directly at the agency, the included services remain identical. No difference in treatment depending on the channel chosen.
| Service | Detail |

| Third-party liability insurance | Automatically covered in every contract |
