Why Groups Choose the Toyota HiAce
Our Toyota HiAce taxi service is a reliable, cost-effective solution for larger families, Umrah and Hajj groups, and small travel groups moving together across Saudi Arabia. With seating for up to 12 passengers and generous luggage space, the HiAce covers intercity travel, airport transfers, and organized religious visits between Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, and Taif in one coordinated vehicle. Every booking is 100% private and non-shared, with flexibility for prayer stops and rest breaks along the way.
Best For
- Umrah and Hajj groups travelling together, up to 12 passengers
- Larger families who need one vehicle instead of splitting into two cars
- Small travel groups and friends touring Makkah, Madinah, and Jeddah together
- Airport and intercity transfers where group luggage needs real space
The Real Cost Per Person
A group of 10 travelling from Makkah to Jeddah together in one HiAce at SAR 300 works out to just SAR 30 per person, door to door — considerably cheaper than splitting into two or three sedans, while keeping everyone together in one vehicle for the whole journey.

HiAce or Hyundai Staria?
The Staria (7–8 passengers) is the more comfortable option, with a car-like ride and easier entry for elderly passengers. The HiAce (10–12 passengers) trades some of that comfort for genuinely more seats and more luggage room, and is the practical choice once your group is larger than 8 people or two smaller cars would otherwise be needed. If your group fits in a Staria and comfort is the priority, choose the Staria. If you need to fit more than 8 people in one vehicle, the HiAce is the right size.
HiAce Taxi vs. Careem, Uber, and Ride-Hailing Apps
Careem, Uber, Bolt, and Jeeny rarely have 10 to 12 seat minibuses available on-demand in Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah, or Riyadh. For a group of this size, a pre-arranged fixed booking is usually the only realistic option.
| Ride-Hailing Apps | Our Fixed HiAce Booking |
|---|---|
| Minibuses of this size are rarely available on short notice | A HiAce is guaranteed and reserved for your exact travel date |
| Group bookings often mean splitting into 2–3 separate cars | Your whole group of up to 12 travels together in one vehicle |
| Driver may not accommodate large group luggage or extra loading time | Tell us in advance and your driver plans around your group’s needs |
| Not designed for long intercity routes like Madinah to Riyadh | Same fixed fare structure works for local trips and 900km+ journeys alike |
Our honest take: for groups of 9 or more, a pre-booked HiAce with a fixed price is almost always simpler and more reliable than trying to coordinate multiple ride-hailing cars separately.

Toyota HiAce Taxi — Questions Pilgrims Ask Most
Can overseas pilgrims book a Toyota HiAce taxi for Umrah transport?
Yes. Pilgrims travelling from Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the UK, and other countries can pre-book a Toyota HiAce taxi on WhatsApp before arriving in Saudi Arabia, so your group transport is confirmed before you land.
How much does a Toyota HiAce taxi cost?
It depends on the route. A Makkah to Jeddah transfer starts from SAR 300, and a Makkah Ziyarat tour is SAR 350–400. Longer intercity journeys such as Madinah to Riyadh or Jeddah to Riyadh are fixed at SAR 1,800. See the full route-by-route table above, or message us your exact pickup and drop-off on WhatsApp for an instant quote.
How many passengers can travel in a Toyota HiAce?
Up to 12 passengers with 8 to 10 suitcases. If your group is larger than that, our Toyota Coaster is the next size up for bigger Umrah jamaah groups.
Is the HiAce suitable for travel between Makkah, Madinah, and Jeddah?
Yes. The HiAce is commonly used for intercity travel between these cities due to its spacious interior and comfortable seating for larger groups.
Can I book a HiAce for an airport transfer?
Yes. Send us your flight number and we will track your landing time so your driver is waiting when you arrive, with no extra charge for delays.
Is the fare per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. A group of up to 12 people pays the same fixed price, which typically works out much cheaper per person than booking multiple smaller cars.
Is the exact vehicle guaranteed, or could I get something different?
We confirm the vehicle class (10–12 seat minibus) in writing, not a specific licence plate. You will always receive a HiAce or an equivalent vehicle in similar or better condition, at the fare agreed.
