Driving in Qatar, someone else's car

Thank you all for the quick replies, I am left confused though by their diversity :)

Any number I can call to make sure, as from what I have heard it will be hard for me to avoid a car accident there :):)

Yes you can, I drove someone else's car all the time.

Don't run any violations as suggested by metaphor

sure you can. just avoid getting violations like beating the red light, illicit parking, overspeeding, ect... coz absurd penalties goes to the registered owners account...

yeah, been doing that when i used to come here and i still have had the UAE visa. just be careful, and dont let the fault of others be yours. God bless! :)

make sure you're familiar with the mode of driving here...hehehe :)

But be careful, you shall not get any insurance protection after certain (days from date of entry in Qatar)

You can drive your friends car as far as it is registered in his name. Its legal.Be careful and cheers !!

You can! I always drive my friend's car whenever I am in Qatar. It is risky though....just drive safely.

Yes you can drive. It is the car that is insured, not the driver.

Rent a car would be a safe bet, however if you think you wont meet with an accident and its for a short while then you may drive his car, its risky though so its your call.
