How Much Taxi Fare from Madinah to Jeddah or Jeddah Airport?

If you are in Madinah, your flight home is from Jeddah, and now you are stuck googling "how much does a taxi cost" at 11 pm because some guy outside your hotel just quoted you an insane number.

We have heard this story a hundred times from pilgrims. It is honestly one of the most common headaches after Umrah: figuring out transport at the last minute when you are tired and just want to get to your flight without drama.

Let's just get into the actual taxi fare, so you know what you should be paying.

Madinah to Jeddah Airport Taxi Fare

A regular sedan, Camry or Sonata, will cost you SAR 400 for the Madinah to Jeddah Airport trip. That is a fixed price, not something that changes once you are halfway there. If there are more of you, or you just want something roomier, here is the taxi fare for all fleets:

Vehicle TypeCapacityFare (SAR)
Sedan (Camry/Sonata)4 seatsSAR 400
Luxury GMC7 seatsSAR 830
Mini Van7 seatsSAR 450
Hiace Microbus12 seatsSAR 550
Coaster18 seatsSAR 850
Bus50 seatsSAR 1200

We do not add anything on top for luggage or if the driver waits a few extra minutes at your hotel. What we quote is what you pay, full stop.

Taxi Fare From Jeddah Airport to Madinah

You land at Jeddah, you need a ride up to your hotel in Madinah, and the pricing barely changes. Sedan is still SAR 400, Mini Van SAR 450, Hiace SAR 550, GMC around SAR 830, and Coaster comes in a bit higher on this route at SAR 880.

One thing worth mentioning, we do not run the big 50-seat bus on this particular route. If you have got a huge group landing together, honestly your best bet is either the Coaster or splitting into two Hiace vans. Works out fine either way.

Taxi Fare From Jeddah Airport to Madinah

Distance Between Madinah to Jeddah

It is about 420 km between the two cities. Give it 4 to 5 hours depending on traffic, time of day, and whether you stop for food or prayer along the way. It is not a short hop, so do not go booking the cheapest cramped car just to save twenty riyals and then regret it three hours in with your knees against the seat in front of you. Pick something with actual space if there are more than two of you.

Private Car or Shared Ride, Which Should You Book

If it is just you and your spouse, the sedan at SAR 400 is honestly fine and gets the job done. But if you have got kids, elderly parents, or a lot of bags, that is where the Minivan or GMC starts making a lot more sense. Nobody wants to be squished in the back seat for four hours because the car was too small.

The GMC especially, at SAR 830, is one of those vehicles where people book it once and then request it every single time after. It is just comfortable in a way the smaller cars are not.

Book Taxi For Big Umrah Groups

If you are coordinating for a whole group, like 20, 30, 50 people, the bus is genuinely the smart move. SAR 1200 split across 50 people barely comes to SAR 24 each. You cannot find cheaper group transport than that anywhere in the city.

Medium groups usually go for the Coaster at SAR 850 or the Hiace at SAR 550. Both get booked constantly by group leaders bringing pilgrims in from Pakistan and India, so we are used to handling the coordination on our end, timing, luggage, all of it.

Book Taxi For Big Umrah Groups

Why Book Through Haramain Umrah Taxi?

We are not going to pretend we are the absolute cheapest option in Madinah. Some guy with a beat-up car outside your hotel might quote you less. But then he shows up late, or the AC does not work, or suddenly there will be an "extra charge" you did not agree to. We have seen it happen to people over and over.

What we offer is simple: a fixed price agreed before you get in, drivers who actually know this route well and show up when they say they will, and a bit of Urdu and basic English on top of Arabic. So you are not stuck trying to explain your flight time through hand gestures.
