Transport
Cars
are widely available for all budgetary requirements from the exclusive to the
budget second hand cars available at the car market.
Car prices are extremely reasonable, with new cars being approximately
60% the price in the UK. Rental
cars are also very reliable and reasonable in price if you do not wish to
worrying about maintaining a car. Second
hand prices are low, although resell value on second hand cars is also low.
Expatriates are able to purchase cars on hire purchase terms for up to 4
years.
Kuwait
public transport bus fare (one way) is between 150-250 Fils for a trip of about
10-15 Km. Most of the buses are air-conditioned and run on schedule, although
they tend to be extremely busy in the mornings, and after Ministry working
hours.
Taxis
are readily available by call or to flag down on the roadside, and the fares are
reasonable, although they could get a bit expensive if you use them as a main
form of transport.
Car-pooling
is commonly arranged for bachelors living together, and can be easily arranged
to get to and from work.
