Jeddah Airport to Makkah Staria & Makkah to Jeddah Airport Staria
You just landed at Jeddah Airport and the first thing on your mind after collecting your bags is getting to Makkah. For most families and small groups, the Staria keeps coming up as the vehicle of choice on this route, and there are pretty clear reasons why.
It sits right in that comfortable middle ground between a basic sedan and a large microbus, where most pilgrim groups of four to seven people want to be.
At Haramain Umrah Taxi, the Staria is one of our most requested vehicles specifically on this Jeddah to Makkah route. People book it on the way in and then call us again to book it on the way back.
Why Pilgrims Keep Choosing the Staria for This Route?
The Jeddah Airport to Makkah drive is roughly 89.3 kilometres and takes around one to one and a half hours under normal conditions. During Ramadan nights or busy Umrah weekends, that can stretch depending on how the traffic behaves near the Haram.
Sitting in a cramped car for ninety minutes after a long international flight is genuinely unpleasant, and that is where the Staria earns its reputation.
Seven proper seats, real luggage room, and a cabin that does not feel like everyone is pressed against each other for the entire journey. When you have five or six people with bags coming off a flight, those things matter in a way they simply do not on a ten-minute city transfer.
Jeddah Airport to Makkah Staria Fare
The confirmed fare for a Staria from Jeddah Airport to your hotel in Makkah is SAR 300. That is for the entire vehicle, not per person. Across five passengers, that works out to SAR 60 each, which for a private car covering 89.3 kilometres is genuinely hard to argue with.
For comparison, here is how the other vehicles on this route are priced:
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fare (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan (Camry/Sonata) | Up to 3 passengers | SAR 250 |
| Staria | 7-Seater | SAR 300 |
| Luxury GMC | 7-Seater | SAR 450 |
| Hiace Microbus | 12-Seater | SAR 400 |
| Coaster | 18-Seater | SAR 600 |
If you are travelling with just two or three people, the sedan at SAR 250 is the sensible budget. If your group is larger than seven, the Hiace covers up to twelve. But for the typical family of five or six, the Staria at SAR 300 is where most people land and stay comfortable doing it.
Makkah to Jeddah Airport Staria Fare
The return journey from your hotel in Makkah back to Jeddah Airport is priced slightly differently. The Staria comes in at SAR 270 on this route, a small drop from the inbound fare, which is standard across most airport routes in Saudi Arabia.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fare (SAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan (Camry/Sonata) | Up to 3 passengers | SAR 200 |
| Staria | 7-Seater | SAR 270 |
| Luxury GMC | 7-Seater | SAR 400 |
| Hiace Microbus | 12-Seater | SAR 280 |
| Coaster | 18-Seater | SAR 500 |
| Bus | 50-Seater | SAR 800 |
One thing worth doing when you book your inbound transfer is locking in the return at the same time. You sort both in one conversation, both are confirmed, and you are not scrambling to arrange a car on your last morning in Makkah when you should be focused on leaving properly.
Luggage Situation In Staria
Luggage problems come up more than people expect. After Umrah, most pilgrims are heading home with more than they arrived with. They have Zamzam water, prayer items, and gifts for family. The bags get heavier on the way out, and a sedan that seemed fine on the way in suddenly feels very full.
The Staria has a proper boot. Seven people can travel with reasonable luggage without anyone needing to hold a bag on their lap for the whole journey. If you know your group is carrying a lot, mention it when you book so we can factor that into the vehicle recommendation.
During Ramadan and peak Umrah periods, the Staria books up faster than most vehicles on this route. If your travel falls during those months, reach out a few days ahead rather than the night before. Leaving it last minute during busy season usually means the vehicle you wanted is already taken.
