Makkah to Madinah Taxi, lobby to lobby between the two holy cities.

Our private taxi is a fixed SAR 500 for the whole sedan, whether you write it Makkah to Madinah, Mecca to Madinah or Makkah to Medina. Larger vehicles run SAR 600 to SAR 1,100 fixed. On the open market, taxi fare from Makkah to Madinah starts at 450 SAR, taxi rides start near 550 SAR for a standard vehicle with some operators, and fares can range from 400 to 1,200 SAR depending on vehicle type.

Two ways, both fast. Use the booking form on this page, or send your hotel name, date, pickup time and passenger count on WhatsApp, and booking takes 2 minutes with an instant fixed quote. No advance deposit is required, and you pay cash or card after arriving at your Madinah hotel.

The distance from Makkah to Madinah is about 430 to 450 kilometers, and taxi journeys take approximately 4 to 5 hours including prayer and rest stops. Traffic conditions around both city centers and peak hours set the difference between the two ends of that range.

Per seat, the bus is cheapest, then shared taxis, then the train. Per vehicle, a private taxi at SAR 500 split between four passengers is SAR 125 each, door to door, with no station transfers. Solo with light luggage, take the bus or train. Three or more of you, the private car usually wins on both cost and comfort.

Shared taxis exist and cost less per seat, but you wait for the car to fill, ride with strangers, and stop at every passenger's hotel. Our service is private, one group per vehicle. The middle path is sharing with your own travel companions: a 7-seater split across a full group lands near SAR 85 per person.

There is no metro between the cities. What people usually mean is the Haramain high-speed train, which covers Makkah to Madinah in about 2.5 hours on board, with fares varying by class and date. Both stations sit outside the city centers, so add a taxi at each end when comparing the total cost.

Yes, ride-hailing apps work inside Makkah for short city trips, and for those they are often the sensible choice. The intercity run to Madinah is a different matter: 450 kilometer requests are routinely declined, and an accepted one comes without the planned prayer stops or a fixed written fare.

For city journeys, usually. For Makkah to Madinah specifically, the rare accepted ride-hail request tends to land near private-transfer rates anyway, so the saving disappears exactly where the certainty matters most, on a 4 to 5 hour drive between the two holy cities.

The Camry seats 4 passengers with 3 large bags. The Staria and GMC both seat 7 passengers with 8 large bags. The HiAce van accommodates 11 passengers and 14 large bags, and Coaster buses hold up to 18 passengers for larger groups. Every one is air conditioned and well maintained, and drivers assist with luggage at both ends.

Market taxi fares increase during peak seasons like Ramadan and Hajj, sometimes sharply. Our quote is fixed at booking and stays fixed, which is exactly when a written price matters. Availability tightens in those weeks too, so book this leg when you book your hotels.
