I heard that if u want to ship or import cars outside GCC country then it ll cost u higher for customs or taxes etc. However, I wrote to a company here by asking the cost of bringing a car. If its reasonable then I ll bring my BMW from uk. Regarding buying or renting, it depends on people's choice and budget. If u have a good budget then I ll suggest you to buy a new one. Some second hand cars are also available but if u want a good one then only limited brands.
