Rented car waiting at the Eilat-Aqaba border?

Question: Is it possible to have a rented car waiting at the Isreali/Jordan border in Aqaba?

If so I would consider changing my car rental schedule.

Answer: There are no rental car desks at Jordanian side of the Eilat-Aqaba border (neither on the Israeli side, as far as I know).

However, when you search for rental cars you will find several car rental companies giving you the option for pick-up at Arava Border.

This usually means that the car rental company's Rep will wait for you at the border and take you to their downtown office to do the paperwork and hand over the car.

I don't know, if they charge anything extra for this, you must ask the companies directly.
