Hmm.. having a driver... never did that but it might be an option. How much use can you make of him? Go to office and back each day or also drive around the desert or even abroad?

The car is definitely off but I'm offered 1800 Qr/month for taxi or transport otherwise. If I throw in a bit of extra money I should be able to get a rental car and gasoline I suppose. But what kind of car? It's probably not a small 4x4 but just a city-only car, right?

I'm not sure about a driving permit. How and what do I have to do? I understood from people who still got a car that they only needed to do a quick test. Is it easier and quicker with employer support? And do I need an international driving license or is my Belgium one sufficient?
