Private Taxi for Umrah in Makkah, Madinah and Jeddah
A private Umrah taxi is a car with a driver for you and your companions only. It picks you up at your door, waits when you need it, and costs a fixed price agreed before you travel. Zikr Cabs runs private taxis 24/7 across Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Taif.
Private Umrah taxi fares start from SAR 100 for a sedan. Jeddah Airport to Makkah is SAR 240, and Makkah to Madinah is SAR 415. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, and larger cars are available for families and groups.

Why pilgrims choose a private taxi
- Door to door: from the airport, hotel or train station straight to where you are going, with no transfers.
- Fixed fare: no meter and no bargaining. The price is agreed on WhatsApp before the trip.
- Your group only: no sharing with strangers, which many families and women travelling together prefer.
- Your timing: leave after Fajr, wait for a delayed flight, or stop for the miqat.
- Help with luggage at airports and hotels.
