Online Umrah Taxi
Cost
Queue / app / shuttleWhat the ride costs you.
The Makkah train station taxi from Online Umrah Taxi costs 130 SAR in a Toyota Camry, from Makkah Train Station to any Makkah hotel. The same 130 SAR fare applies from your hotel back to the station. You pay per car, not per seat, and the price is fixed on WhatsApp before you travel.
Makkah Train Station is the Haramain High-Speed Railway stop in the Al-Rusaifah area of Makkah. Your driver waits for your train, carries your suitcases to the car and drives you to your hotel door. Near Masjid al-Haram, where some roads are closed to cars, the drop-off point is agreed on WhatsApp first.
Station ↔ Hotel Transfers
A Makkah train station to hotel taxi with Online Umrah Taxi is a private, pre-booked car for your party. The Toyota Camry fare is 130 SAR for the whole car, in either direction. That price covers a driver who is expecting you, help with every bag, and a drop at your hotel.
Street taxis, ride apps and hotel shuttles also serve Makkah Train Station, and they can cost much less. Online Umrah Taxi does not compete on price. The fare pays for certainty after a long train ride: you know who is collecting you, where to find them, and what you will pay.
Makkah Train Station sits in Al-Rusaifah, away from the busy streets around Masjid al-Haram. The drive to most central hotels is usually short. Prayer times, Ramadan and the Hajj season can make the roads near the Haram much slower.
Online Umrah Taxi is licensed by the Saudi Transport Authority to carry pilgrims in Makkah. Drivers speak English and Arabic and know the hotel districts of Makkah. You can book the station ride for yourself, or for parents and friends arriving on their own.

Your Arrival at the Station
Meet and greet at Makkah Train Station starts before you board. Send your train date, departure station and expected arrival time on WhatsApp. Online Umrah Taxi then confirms where the driver will wait for you at the station.
Trains reach Makkah Train Station from Madinah, from Jeddah and from the station at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED). If your train is delayed, send the new arrival time on WhatsApp. The team updates your driver and adjusts the pickup where possible.
When you step off the train, take your bags and follow the exit signs. Your driver meets you at the agreed point and takes the heavy suitcases and Zamzam cartons. If you cannot spot the driver, message +966 56 323 2855 and say where you are standing.
The car is air-conditioned, cleaned before the trip and stocked with bottled water. Free Wi-Fi lets you tell family you have reached Makkah. If you want to pray before checking in, ask the driver for a prayer stop.
Hotel Drop-off
Your Makkah train station taxi ends at your hotel, wherever it is in Makkah. Around Masjid al-Haram some streets are closed to cars, so the team confirms the nearest permitted drop-off point on WhatsApp before you travel.
Many hotels next to Masjid al-Haram cannot be reached by car at busy times. The driver stops at the closest permitted point and unloads your bags there. That point is agreed with you on WhatsApp first.
Ajyad hotels sit close to the Haram, where road access changes with crowds and prayer times. Tell the team your hotel name, and they confirm how close the car can go.
Jabal Omar has large hotel towers near the Haram with their own entrances. Share the exact hotel name so the driver heads for the right one.
Misfalah hotels are a short walk from the Haram. The driver takes you as far as cars are allowed and helps you with the luggage from there.
Aziziyah is further from the Haram and usually easier for cars to reach. The Makkah train station taxi can usually take you right to the hotel entrance there.
Send the booking confirmation from your hotel on WhatsApp. The team checks the location and tells you where the car will stop before your travel day.
Your Departure by Train
The taxi from your Makkah hotel to Makkah Train Station also costs 130 SAR in a Toyota Camry. You pick the pickup time, and the driver collects you at your hotel entrance or an agreed point near the Haram. The driver loads your bags and unloads them again at the station.
How early to leave depends on your ticket. Check the departure time printed on it and the Haramain High-Speed Railway’s advice on arriving before the train. Then allow extra time for checkout, loading luggage and traffic near Masjid al-Haram.
Roads around the Haram are often slowest just after a prayer ends. If your train leaves soon after a prayer, an earlier pickup is the safer choice. Send your train time on WhatsApp and the team suggests a pickup time, though your ticket and the railway’s guidance come first.
Plans often change on the last day of Umrah. You can move the pickup time on WhatsApp before it is due, with no extra fee. Flying home instead of taking the train? The Makkah to Jeddah Airport taxi goes from your hotel to departures.
