Saudi transport authority extends operational life of taxis and rental cars to June 2027

The Transport General Authority has announced the extension of the operational lifespan for vehicles used in taxi and private car rental services, whose operational period was due to end in 2026, until June 30, 2027. The move aims to enhance operational flexibility in these sectors, support the continued provision of services, and enable companies to utilize their vehicles for an additional period.

In an official statement, the authority said the decision grants companies in the affected sectors up to six extra months to benefit from vehicles that have reached their maximum operational age. This is expected to improve asset utilization, ease the financial burden of vehicle replacement, and maintain safety standards and service quality for customers.

The authority emphasized that this decision is part of ongoing efforts to develop the regulatory environment for transport activities, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure service sustainability in line with sector needs and sustainable growth goals.
