Dear QLers,

I am new to doha from India. planning to get into Al Rayah driving school and get my DL. I have Indian DL. can anybody say how much time will it take after I admit into driving school.

moreover, can I rent a car right after I get the DL? because I heard, sometimes the car dealers are reluctant to rent a car to new DL holders.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can rent a car immediately after you get your licence. I rented a car I think within a week of my Dl. But yes, as he mentions above, it is not that easy to get a license ! Honestly, I got my Indian license by not even driving 10 yards ! Dont expect the same scene here. How much time depends on how bad you were in India hahaha ...

well if you know driving (like getting a licence in India doesn't mean you know the driving :P:P hehe just kidding) so one week lessons are enough. but what i've observed that people who know driving before like in south asian countries, are less likely to pass it first coz you are habitual of that way of driving. oops...may be i wrote more than required, but what i meant was drive as instructor says and dont forget to give him a tip.

secondly getting a car just after getting licence is not so easy. same happened with me but i gave my credit card copy (swiped manually) than only i got it..but thank God nothing happened. if you want still check Jabraco car rental in matar kadeem as that people gave me on rent right after my licence.

so all the best bud !

Ul need to enroll for short term one week course(if ur DL in India is valid, not yet expired) you may take exam right after d training.

You can rent a car right the very moment you've got ur DL
