Premium Hiace Van Services for Groups in Saudi Arabia
Traveling across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a large party requires more than just a standard vehicle; it demands space, comfort, and professional logistics. At Umrah Taxi Saudi, we specialize in providing the Hiace van for diverse groups, ranging from religious pilgrims performing Umrah to corporate delegations attending business summits in Jeddah or Riyadh. Our fleet of modern Toyota Hiace vans is specifically maintained to handle the unique climate and long-distance routes of the Hijaz region.
Whether you are landing at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) or Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED), a pre-booked group transfer ensures your entire party stays together. Avoid the stress of splitting into multiple small sedans. With our Hiace van service, up to 10 passengers can travel comfortably with their luggage, ensuring a unified and spiritual start to your journey toward the Holy Cities.
Spacious Capacity for Pilgrims and Business Professionals
The Toyota Hiace is the gold standard for mid-sized groups in Saudi Arabia. Unlike standard SUVs, the Hiace offers high-roof clearance and dedicated luggage space at the rear. For Umrah pilgrims, this means ample room for large suitcases and Zamzam water containers on the return leg. For business travelers, the ergonomic seating provides a mobile workspace during the 450km journey between Makkah and Madinah.
- Passenger Capacity: Comfortably seats 7 to 10 passengers.
- Luggage Allowance: Space for 8-10 large suitcases (depending on passenger count).
- Comfort Features: Dual air conditioning (front and rear) to combat the Saudi heat, tinted windows, and adjustable seating.
- Safety: Fully licensed drivers, ABS, and multiple airbags for peace of mind on the Hijrah Highway.
Popular Routes and Reliable Group Transfers
Our group transfer services cover all major hubs. A common route is the Jeddah Airport to Makkah transfer, covering approximately 95km. In a Hiace van, this journey takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes, bypassing the hassle of local taxi queues. For those wishing to visit the mountainous city of Taif, the 170km drive from Jeddah takes roughly 2 hours via the scenic Al Hada road, offering breathtaking views that are best enjoyed from the elevated windows of a van.
We also facilitate the long-distance trek between Makkah and Madinah via the 450km Hijrah Highway. This 4-hour and 30-minute journey is made significantly more pleasant in a Hiace, where passengers have room to stretch and rest before reaching the Prophet’s Mosque (Al-Masjid an-Nabawi). You can view our full range of vehicle options on our fleet overview page.
Transparent Pricing for Hiace Van Rentals
At Umrah Taxi Saudi, we believe in fixed, upfront pricing. There are no hidden surcharges for late-night arrivals or dawn departures. While a sedan transfer from Jeddah Airport to Makkah starts at 190 SAR, the Hiace van is priced at a competitive premium (approx. +90-120%) to account for the larger capacity and fuel efficiency for groups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hiace van suitable for Ziyarat tours?
Yes, the Hiace van is the most popular choice for Ziyarat (historical site visits) in Makkah and Madinah. It allows groups to visit sites like Jabal al-Nour or the Quba Mosque together, making the experience more shared and spiritual.
How much luggage can we bring in a Hiace?
A standard Hiace for 10 passengers can typically fit 8-10 large suitcases. If you have excessive luggage (such as 15+ bags), we recommend booking two vehicles or a larger coaster bus to ensure safety and comfort.
Do you offer transfers during the middle of the night?
Absolutely. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether your flight lands at 3:00 AM or your Umrah concludes at dawn, our Hiace van will be ready for your group transfer without any "night-time" surcharges.
What happens if my flight to Jeddah is delayed?
We utilize real-time flight tracking software. If your flight is delayed, our system updates your pickup time automatically. We also provide a 60-minute complimentary waiting window from the moment your plane actually lands.
Can we stop for refreshments during the Makkah to Madinah trip?
Yes, our drivers are happy to stop at authorized highway rest areas for prayers, food, or restroom breaks. Since this is a private group transfer, you have the flexibility to manage your schedule within reasonable limits.
