A compact car is the middle ground: noticeably roomier than an economy hatchback, but still small enough for Amman's hill streets and multi-storey car parks.
This class suits travellers who mix city days with longer drives — Amman to Aqaba or the Dead Sea — and want a bit more luggage space and a quieter ride at highway speed without paying SUV rates.
All compact cars come with air conditioning, basic insurance and unlimited local mileage, and can be collected at any of our airport or city pickup points.
