Between cities
Makkah to Jeddah taxi, hotel to any address
Not every Makkah to Jeddah trip involves a flight. Plenty of pilgrims and residents travel between the two cities to visit family, catch a connection by road, or simply move on to Jeddah’s hotels and the Corniche once their time in Makkah is done. This Makkah to Jeddah taxi covers that city to city trip directly, separate from the airport transfer, at a fare fixed before you travel. Umrah Online Taxi books the same vehicle and driver for the whole run, hotel to hotel or hotel to any address you name in Jeddah.

Where the driver meets you
From Makkah, pick-up is your hotel lobby, in Ajyad, Aziziyah or wherever you are staying. In Jeddah, the driver can drop you at a hotel, a residence, Al Balad, the Corniche or another address you give when you book, since this is a city to city trip rather than a fixed airport route. If you are going on to catch a flight from Jeddah Airport rather than into the city itself, that is priced as a separate route, so tell us which one you need.
Distance and journey time
Makkah and Jeddah sit about 80 to 100 km apart depending on your exact start and end points in each city, and the drive usually takes 1 hour to 1 hour 30 along the Makkah expressway. Travelling from Makkah toward Jeddah in the evening can add time near the city exits, while an earlier departure tends to be the quickest way to make the trip.
What the fare includes
Both fares above cover the vehicle for your party only, the driver, fuel, tolls and parking, and luggage up to the stated capacity. Prayer stops are part of the journey on this route rather than an extra charge. What is charged separately is a stop added on the day beyond your original booking, or a second vehicle if your group grows. There is no Nusuk charge on this route, since it does not begin at an airport.
Which vehicle suits this trip
For two people with normal luggage, the Camry or Sonata covers this route at the lowest fare. Families relocating from Makkah to Jeddah with more bags, perhaps ahead of a flight the next day, often prefer the Staria for the extra boot space. Larger groups making the move together, such as an Umrah group heading to Jeddah before flying home, are better suited to the Hiace or Coaster so the whole party and its luggage travels in one vehicle.
How to book this trip
Message us with your Makkah hotel, your Jeddah destination, the date, and how many people and bags are travelling. If your trip connects to a flight out of Jeddah, say so and we will build in enough time to reach the airport comfortably rather than cutting it close. A fare comes back the same day, and you settle with the driver once you arrive.
Other ways to travel
Can you drop at the Corniche is one of the questions people ask most about this route, and yes, since this trip runs from your Makkah hotel to any address in Jeddah, the driver can take you to the Corniche, a residence or any point in Jeddah you name. Shared transport between the two cities exists for travellers on a tighter budget and a fixed schedule, though it does not offer a door to door drop or a driver who waits if your plans shift. We do not publish figures for any operator other than our own.
Tips for this trip
If you are travelling in the evening, allow extra time near the city exits from Makkah, which can be busy after Isha. Mention any Zamzam containers you are carrying so the right vehicle is sent for the boot space. If your trip is timed around a flight, tell us the flight time rather than just the day, so the pick-up is scheduled with a safe margin.
