Makkah To Madinah Taxi

Makkah to Madinah Taxi Service, Hotel to Hotel

Moving from Makkah to Madinah is the longest ride of most Umrah trips. With bags, Zamzam, elderly parents or small children, changing from taxi to station to train and back to taxi is tiring. Our Makkah to Madinah taxi service picks you up at your Makkah hotel and drops you at your hotel door in Madinah in one private car, at a fixed fare agreed before you travel. For families, it is the simplest transportation from Makkah to Medina.

Makkah Hotel to Madinah Hotel Taxi

A private car from Makkah to Madinah means one journey from door to door. The driver collects you at your Makkah hotel, your suitcases and Zamzam stay in the car the whole way, and you are dropped at the entrance of your hotel near Masjid an Nabawi. Elderly parents, small children and wheelchairs are much easier to manage this way than with a coach or the train.

Travelling alone with one bag? The train can be quicker. For families and groups, the taxi is usually simpler and often cheaper.

Cheapest Taxi Fare From Makkah to Madinah

The cheapest option is the sedan at SAR 400 for up to 4 passengers. For 5 to 7 people, the Makkah to Madinah car fare is SAR 550 for one Staria H1. That is less than two sedans at SAR 800, and the family stays together. Groups of up to 10 pay SAR 600 for a Hiace, which works out at about SAR 60 per person.

Stop at Badr on Your Way to Madinah

Many pilgrims want to see Badr, where the first major battle of Islam took place, and the graves of the martyrs nearby. It sits along the way between Makkah and Madinah, so you can visit it without making a separate trip. Choose the Via Badr fare when you book and the driver will stop there for you before continuing to Madinah.

Already in Madinah and heading back later? Book a Madinah to Makkah taxi or a Madinah Ziyarat taxi with the same team.

My flight landed late in Jeddah, and I was worried about finding a safe and reliable taxi at that hour. Luckily, I remembered Alharmain Taxi! Booking online was a breeze, and the driver was waiting for me at the airport with a clear sign. The ride back to my hotel was smooth and hassle-free.
