Establishments that have long-term vehicle rental contracts from licensees in car rental activity were approved an exemption to use them for delivery of orders

Eng. Saleh Al-Jasser, Minister of Transport and Logistics recently approved allowing enterprises with long-term vehicle rental contracts from car rental activity licensees to utilise them for order delivery. 

"The ownership of these vehicles shall be for the licensee directly or through a financial lease and that he shall be the actual user of the vehicle," according to the regulations governing the activity of light vehicles utilising to move products on the roads. The ministerial decree states that when it comes to order delivery, these regulations will not apply to such vehicles.

With the approval of a previous decision by the Minister of Transport and Logistics, this decision serves as an exemption from the application of paragraph (a) of Article 13 of the legislation governing the activity of light transport of goods on highways. The aforementioned contracts have an expiration date. They stipulated that "the licensee must issue an operating card for each vehicle operating in the activity, with a duration of one year and not exceeding the operational life of the vehicle or the license validity date for establishments, and that the vehicles are owned by the licensee directly, or by financial lease, provided that he is the actual user."

The TGA was granted a grace period of thirty days for these businesses to furnish the necessary data. Lists supplied beyond the stipulated expiration date would be disregarded.
