Fares between Jeddah and Makkah are the most-asked question in pilgrim transport, so this guide states them plainly and in both directions. All fares below are per vehicle, not per person: the price buys the whole car or van for your group, however many passengers it carries within its capacity. That single fact changes how families should compare taxi travel against per-person tickets.
Jeddah Airport to Makkah Hotel costs SAR 350 by Staria, SAR 400 by Hiace, SAR 250 by Camry or Sonata, SAR 800 by Bus, SAR 550 by GMC (new model) and SAR 800 by Coaster. The return leg, Makkah Hotel to Jeddah Airport, costs SAR 700 by Coaster, SAR 200 by Camry or Sonata, SAR 500 by GMC (new model), SAR 800 by Bus, SAR 300 by Staria and SAR 400 by Hiace. Remember, prices are per vehicle, not per person, in both directions.
Beyond the figures, this guide explains what affects your choice of vehicle, why return fares differ slightly from outbound fares, and how to book a round trip sensibly. If you need the full journey narrative rather than just fares, our Jeddah airport to Makkah guide covers the transfer step by step, and our transport options comparison sets taxis against train, bus and app rides.

Outbound fares: Jeddah Airport to Makkah Hotel
The outbound fare table, in a different order for clarity, is: Staria SAR 350, Hiace SAR 400, Camry or Sonata SAR 250, Bus SAR 800, GMC (new model) SAR 550 and Coaster SAR 800, for Jeddah Airport to Makkah Hotel. These prices are per vehicle, not per person, so a family of six in a Staria pays the Staria fare once, not six times. Confirm your hotel name and district when booking, since Makkah hotel locations affect the final approach even though the fare itself is fixed by vehicle.
Airport pickups include the waiting and meeting arrangements of a pre-booked transfer: the driver follows your flight details, waits at the agreed meeting point and helps with luggage. That service element is part of why the outbound leg is priced as it is, and it is worth confirming the waiting arrangement in writing so a delayed flight causes no confusion at the terminal.
Return fares: Makkah Hotel to Jeddah Airport
The return fare table, again in shuffled order, is: Coaster SAR 700, Camry or Sonata SAR 200, GMC (new model) SAR 500, Bus SAR 800, Staria SAR 300 and Hiace SAR 400, for Makkah Hotel to Jeddah Airport. Again, prices are per vehicle, not per person. Return legs are often simpler operationally than airport pickups, since there is no flight tracking or terminal waiting, which is reflected in the slightly lower figures for most vehicle types.
Book your return pickup the day before departure where possible, confirming the time, vehicle and hotel access point with your driver. Hotel lobbies near the Haram can be congested, so agree whether the vehicle meets you at the hotel entrance or the nearest access point, and build in a generous margin for the drive to the airport and check-in.
Choosing a vehicle and booking a round trip
Vehicle choice should follow your group and luggage, not the lowest fare on the table. A sedan suits couples, a Staria suits small families, a Hiace or Coaster suits larger families, and a bus suits very large groups. Choosing too small a vehicle to save on paper usually costs comfort on the highway and may force a second car, which defeats the saving entirely.
Booking both directions with one operator keeps your history in one place: the driver already knows your hotels, group size and luggage, and your return pickup can be adjusted if plans change. When enquiring, state both legs, your passenger count and your flight times, and ask for written confirmation of vehicle type and fare for each direction before you travel.

Are Jeddah–Makkah taxi fares per person or per vehicle?
All fares on this route are per vehicle, not per person. You pay once for the whole car or van, however many passengers travel within its capacity, which makes larger vehicles economical for families and groups travelling together. Ask about waiting arrangements when booking, especially for delayed flights.
Why is the return fare different from the outbound fare?
Return legs from a hotel are operationally simpler than airport pickups, which involve flight tracking, terminal waiting and meeting arrangements. That difference is reflected in slightly lower return fares for most vehicle types on this corridor. Share driver contact with your group before the meeting point.
Which vehicle is cheapest for a family of six?
A Staria at SAR 350 outbound or SAR 300 return often suits a family of six, depending on luggage volume. If bags are numerous, a Hiace may be more comfortable, so count luggage honestly before choosing purely on the lowest fare.
Should I book both directions together?
Booking both directions with one operator is usually simplest, since your hotels, group size and luggage are already known. Confirm vehicle type and fare for each leg in writing, and reconfirm the return pickup time the day before departure. Plan generous margins around prayers and peak traffic always.
