I am scheduled to join Aramco aroud early October from Asia.
I noted that many people recommend buying a car in Saudi than bring it to Saudi. But, as I have bougth it quite recently and managed it in very good condition, I want to brining it to Saudi. Also, I researched used car price in Sadui, and it seems worth to brining my car even after paying shipping+taxes(20%).
Moving company I hired confirmed that they will support impoting a car up to the completion of custom clearlance proceesses. But, they could not help the later processes like local registration and insuring a car, so I should handl it by myself.
Is there anyone who handled the local registration processes, or know the local agent who can help this?

I researched this after coming and tried numerous contacts, spoke to people who tried and every single person told me it was not worth the hassle and nearly impossible. By the time you pay taxes, import fees and registration fees, and have a higher insurance premium, it's a false economy.
I was also contacted by someone who had a very professional and legitimate looking US website, who claimed to specialize in exporting cars from the US to the middle east region, turned out to be a huge scam.
Sorry I can't help more but this is just my experience.

I imported a vehicle to KSA in 2022. Would never do it again. Multiple delays and unexpected coats. Can not recommend importing a vehicle.

I imported a motorcycle. Would never do it again. Delays and unexpected costs when things don't go as planned. Buy local.
