It is legal dear. When you rent a car, the rental company does not change the car's registration under your name in order for you to drive legally. If Qatar only allows drivers to drive cars under their names, the car rental companies will go bankrupt.

Thank you. it's a great relief to know that its ok. Bec. one of my friend warn me that if ever i met accident, it will make a problem for me and the owner of the car which is my close fiend. and they told me it's illegal, and i will go to jail for it. anyway i dont see any logic in making it illegal.
