Driver salary in Saudi Arabia
Most driver ads in Saudi Arabia pay SAR 2,500 – 4,500 plus accommodation or allowance per month, and SAR 5,000 – 7,000 for heavy-vehicle and executive drivers. Packages vary a lot: check whether housing, transport, medical insurance and annual flights are included or paid as an allowance, because that can change the real value by 30% or more. Saudization (Nitaqat) quotas mean some roles are reserved for Saudi nationals; ads usually say so.
