Hi
My car is 10 years' old (2006 reg). Can I ship it to Bahrain and get a Bahraini number plate?
Do you recommend any moving agency?

Unless you're in the far north west of the kingdom would you be able to drive your car over the causeway?

Well, I am from Ha'il which is far away from Dammam. Furthermore, I do not want take the hassle of doing it myself.

I also got to be sure they let 10 years' old car in.

Yes, totally. I should've realised if it were that simple you would've already done it

It will cost you 50000SAR/5000BHD to transfer your car from KSA to Bahrain registration/plates. They do this to keep people from buying cheaper cars in KSA and selling them cheaper than the dealers in Bahrain.

You can easily buy a used car in Bahrain; they are all over the place.

Exporting a car from KSA is a mega-hassle. Save your sanity and keep your BP within the normal range. Don't do it.
