Shipping Company Prices from Riyadh to Jordan are worked out at Al Rahwan with one clear table that does not change from one call to the next: the price is itemised, and the basis of every figure is written next to it. Figures run from SAR 40 for a small parcel up to 2 kg, SAR 1,300 for a single room of furniture, and SAR 980 for a sedan on a shared carrier, with trucks leaving through the Al-Haditha crossing to deliver your shipment in Amman within 3–4 days. Anyone who wants Shipping Company Prices from Riyadh to Jordan that are precise before booking finds at Al Rahwan a full table and real calculation examples instead of scattered figures over the phone. 0568829975 takes both calls and WhatsApp messages, staffed daily from 7 am to 11 pm, and the online request form is open at any hour you choose.

What frustrates most people pricing a shipment is a figure quoted over the phone with no stated basis, which then changes on loading day. That is why this table exists: so you know from the first read exactly what you will pay for each service, why a carton’s price differs from a room’s price and from a car’s price, and how to work out the cost of a shipment made up of several items at once.
- Cartons and parcels: from SAR 40 for a small parcel up to SAR 150 for a carton up to 20 kg.
- Goods: SAR 7 per kilo by road for volume, and SAR 30 per chargeable kilo by air.
- Furniture: from SAR 1,300 for one room to SAR 3,900 for a whole villa after a survey.
- Cars: from SAR 980 for a shared sedan to SAR 4,300 for an enclosed luxury carrier.
- Containers: from SAR 4,800 for a 20 ft container for traders.
- Timescale: 3–4 days from loading to Amman, clearance at Al-Haditha included.
- Payment: a deposit at booking and the balance after loading, with no instalment plan.
Why does a shipping price need a table, not one figure?
Anyone who asks “What are the Shipping Company Prices from Riyadh to Jordan?” with no detail usually gets a figure that means nothing, because the cost of shipping a small parcel differs completely from a whole house or a car. The right price is built on four questions: what kind of content is it, what is its weight and volume after packing, what mode of transport is used (a shared truck, a dedicated truck, or air), and what extra services are needed, such as dismantling, assembly or storage? The company that answers these four questions before giving you a figure is the one to trust, because its figure will not change on loading day.

On the Riyadh–Jordan lane specifically, no competitor publishes a precisely documented tariff for this exact route, since most of what is published about “Jordan shipping prices” is either a general estimate or mixed up with domestic small-parcel rates. That is why Al Rahwan builds its table from what it actually charges on this lane, not from a guess, and writes every figure with its unit and shipment type instead of a plain “call for pricing” that tells you nothing before you book.
Car shipping prices from Riyadh to Jordan in detail
What drives the car shipping price from Riyadh is the carrier type chosen, not the car type alone. An ordinary family car fits on a shared multi-deck carrier starting from SAR 980 for a sedan and SAR 1,180 for a four-wheel drive, loading once other customers’ cars have filled the carrier. Anyone wanting a fixed loading date instead books a dedicated carrier from SAR 1,450, while a luxury or sports car rides inside a fully enclosed carrier, from SAR 4,300.
| Option | Starts from | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan on a shared carrier | SAR 980 | The lowest price for an ordinary car |
| Four-wheel drive on a shared carrier | SAR 1,180 | A slot sized for a jeep or pick-up |
| Car on its own dedicated carrier | SAR 1,450 | A loading day you choose |
| Enclosed carrier | SAR 4,300 | Full protection from dust, sun and stones |
Diesel cars, cars older than five years, and cars with tinted glass are all turned away from permanent entry. A qualifying car instead goes through inspection and registration at the Zarqa free zone at the owner’s expense, or else is admitted temporarily for three months, renewable once, against a bank guarantee in cases that require it. When a husband and wife ship two cars together, each is priced as its own separate figure by car type and carrier, though both can be scheduled to arrive together if booked from the outset within one quote.
How is the real shipping cost worked out: weight or volume?
Relying on weight by itself is the mistake most people make when trying to price a shipment on their own. Cartons and road cargo are charged on actual weight or declared kilos, whereas furniture and bulky shipments are charged on volume after packing rather than on how the piece looks before wrapping; a sofa swells once wrapped in blanket and plastic, and a wardrobe grows wider with corner guards fitted. A rough cubic-metre estimate comes from multiplying the three dimensions in centimetres and dividing by a million, giving only an approximate sense of the size, while the actual price rests on the real survey rather than this estimate alone.
Air freight works differently, billed on chargeable weight, taken as whichever is larger between the scale reading and the volumetric figure derived from length times width times height in centimetres, divided by 6000. Take a 50 × 40 × 30 cm carton as an example: its volumetric weight comes out to 10 kg, so even lightweight clothing packed inside gets billed at that 10 kg rather than its true weight. Anyone requesting an air quote for a large but light carton may well be caught off guard by how much higher the volumetric weight runs compared with the actual one, reason enough on its own to pick road freight whenever speed is not critical.
The full price table from Riyadh to Jordan
This table holds every approved shipping item, its basis of charge and its starting price, so you can compare for yourself without needing a first call just to learn the figures.

| Item | Basis of charge | Starts from |
|---|---|---|
| Small parcel up to 2 kg | Per piece | SAR 40 |
| Parcel up to 10 kg | Per piece | SAR 120 |
| Carton or suitcase up to 20 kg | Per piece | SAR 150 |
| Road freight in volume | Per kilo | SAR 7 |
| Air freight | Chargeable weight | SAR 30 |
| Part load on a shared truck | By space | SAR 1,100 |
| Dedicated enclosed truck (transport only) | Per truck | SAR 2,450 |
| Commercial pallet | Per pallet | SAR 600 |
| One room of furniture | Per room, after survey | SAR 1,300 |
| Small flat (two rooms, majlis and kitchen) | Per home, after survey | SAR 1,450 |
| Flat of three rooms with appliances | Per home, after survey | SAR 2,400 |
| Villa or whole house | Per home, after survey | SAR 3,900 |
| Sedan on a shared carrier | Per car | SAR 980 |
| Four-wheel drive on a shared carrier | Per car | SAR 1,180 |
| Car on its own dedicated carrier | Per carrier | SAR 1,450 |
| Luxury car in an enclosed carrier | Per carrier | SAR 4,300 |
| 20 ft container by sea | Per container | SAR 4,800 |
| 40 ft container by sea | Per container | SAR 8,100 |
Certain items simply need to be inspected or measured before a price can be set, which is why they are marked “ask for an itemised quote” or “set after the free survey”: wooden crates, air-conditioner removal, storage, insurance, heavy equipment and standalone appliances. Their absence from the fixed table is not an oversight; their true cost hinges entirely on measurement or a direct look, since a wooden crate for a single piece varies in size from one house to the next, and heavy equipment varies in weight and dimensions, so quoting any of these without a survey would amount to guesswork rather than a real figure. Al Rahwan frequently runs offers, so it is worth asking about them when requesting your quote.
How much does shipping from Riyadh to Jordan cost? Several calculation examples
Prices mean little without examples from real combined shipments, and these are four common ones Riyadh customers ask for:
- A flat and a car: a three-room flat with appliances at SAR 2,400 + a sedan on a shared carrier at SAR 980 = from SAR 3,380.
- A villa and a luxury sedan: a villa or whole house at SAR 3,900 + a luxury car in an enclosed carrier at SAR 4,300 = from SAR 8,200.
- A part load for a store: three part loads a month to a distributor in Amman: 3 × 1,100 = from SAR 3,300.
- A small flat and two parcels: a small flat (two rooms, majlis and kitchen) at SAR 1,450 + two parcels up to 10 kg at 2 × 120 = SAR 240, so the total starts from SAR 1,690.
Every one of these figures starts from the basic item price shown in the table above, and the final total is confirmed after a survey that establishes the real volume after packing and any extra services.
How do you compare two quotes from two different companies?
A fair comparison needs both quotes set side by side against the same standard, not just a total figure. Ask each company the same points, and write the answers next to each other:
| Comparison point | What to write from each company |
|---|---|
| Base price | The figure with its unit (per piece, per kilo, per room, per carrier) |
| What it includes | Transport only, or transport, packing, dismantling and assembly together |
| What it excludes | Insurance, storage, air-conditioner removal, heavy equipment |
| Timescale | From when the days start, and whether clearance is included |
| Payment | The deposit amount, and when the balance is due |
| Firmness | Is the figure final after the survey, or open to increase |
Once you fill this table for two or three quotes, the real difference between them becomes clear, instead of the first impression left by one bare figure on a phone call.
Who needs a custom quote instead of relying on the general table?
This table covers most common cases, but some shipments need a custom quote that a general figure cannot cover: heavy equipment and industrial machines that need a crane and special handling, wooden crates built to a piece’s exact size, mixed shipments of household goods and trade cargo together, and any load needing several air conditioners removed or long-term storage. In these cases, the survey is not a formality; it is what sets the real figure, and a price quoted for a similar case elsewhere should never be assumed to apply.
Departures and transit: Riyadh to Amman
No Saudi land port is bigger than Al-Haditha, some 36 to 38 km from Al Qurayyat, waiting on the Jordanian side is Al-Omari, Zarqa sits roughly 135 km beyond it, then a short stretch into Amman.
| Destination in Jordan | Time from loading in Riyadh |
|---|---|
| Amman and Zarqa | 3–4 days |
| Irbid, Mafraq, Jerash and Ajloun | 3–4 days |
| Balqa (As-Salt) and Madaba | 3–4 days |
| Karak, Tafilah, Ma’an and Aqaba | One to two days more |
| Car | About the same as its city |
| Air parcel | 24–48 hours |
Furniture and home removal prices from Riyadh: by house size
Pricing for furniture starts at SAR 1,300 for a single room, SAR 1,450 for a small flat with two rooms plus a majlis and kitchen, SAR 2,400 for a three-room flat with its appliances, and SAR 3,900 for a villa or whole house, with dismantling, packing and loading all built into these figures, confirmed only after a survey establishes the true room count and the furniture’s volume once packed.
What raises or lowers a furniture price?
- Bedrooms: dismantling beds and wardrobes is in the base price, but a large multi-door wardrobe needs more time and packing than a small one.
- Kitchens: ordinary cabinets are in the room price, but a marble or granite worktop needs special wrapping that may be added as a separate line in some cases.
- Salons and sofas: wrapping fabric in paper, blanket and loose plastic is in the base price, and a large handmade rug may need rolling on a tube as an extra item.
- Appliances: a fridge, washer and screens are included in the flat’s price, but single appliances shipped on their own are priced after a survey.
- Air conditioners: removing a split unit needs a technician to recover the gas first, priced after the survey since it is not part of an ordinary home removal.
Commercial cargo prices from Riyadh: by business size
Stores and companies in Riyadh ship to Jordan across a wide range of volumes, and each volume has its own fitting price: scattered orders go by the per-carton or per-kilo rate, a part-truck load from SAR 1,100 suits a trader not filling a whole truck, a dedicated enclosed truck from SAR 2,450 suits one who is, and a sea container from SAR 4,800 suits a trader importing in very large quantity. A single commercial pallet runs from SAR 600, fitting a medium quantity too large for single cartons yet not enough for a full truck. Office and showroom furniture across Riyadh, everything from desks and chairs to cabinets and display tables, is priced only after a survey of its actual contents, since sizes differ enormously between a small office and a full showroom.
Cartons, parcels and trade cargo: price by quantity
Small cartons and parcels are charged per piece: SAR 40 up to 2 kg, SAR 120 up to 10 kg, and SAR 150 for a carton or suitcase up to 20 kg, while bulk commercial goods instead go by the kilo from SAR 7, by the pallet from SAR 600, by the dedicated truck from SAR 2,450, or by sea container from SAR 4,800 for traders importing in large quantity only. What separates these options is simply the size of your shipment: a single piece or a handful are priced per item, while a large quantity is priced by kilo or by space, since that works out more economical for it.
Air freight: when is the extra cost worth it?
Flying from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh to Queen Alia International Airport near Amman takes 24–48 hours, with chargeable weight starting at SAR 30 a kilo, and the extra cost over road only pays off for pieces that are small, valuable and urgent, such as official documents, prescribed medicines, or urgent spare parts. A large but light carton, on the other hand, is billed on volumetric rather than actual weight, so its air price climbs steeply just to save a few days over a road trip that usually takes 3–4 days regardless.
Road, air or sea: a quick price comparison
| Mode | Time | Starts from | Choose it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Road via the Al-Haditha crossing | 3–4 days to Amman | SAR 40 a parcel, SAR 1,300 a room | Homes, cars, cartons and goods |
| Air from King Khalid Airport | 24–48 hours | SAR 30 per chargeable kilo | Papers, medicines and small urgent items |
| Sea via Dammam port | By sailing schedule | SAR 4,800 for a 20 ft container | Large traders’ containers only |
Insurance and claims: an optional added cost
Insurance at Al Rahwan is an optional extra at booking, not a fixed price for every shipment, since it is based on the sum you put on your belongings and the photographed inventory.
- Photograph valuable pieces before they are wrapped, and write their value on the list.
- Sign the inventory on loading day and keep your copy.
- At delivery, check the pieces against the list before the crew leaves.
- If you find damage, photograph it at once and note it on the delivery record.
- Contact Al Rahwan with the shipment reference, the photos and the list, under the agreed terms of cover.
Tracking at every stage: where is my shipment now?
Al Rahwan’s tracking is phone and WhatsApp messages at four fixed points, plus a shipment reference to ask about whenever you like. Tracking costs nothing extra; it is included in every quote with no separate line.
| Point | When the message comes |
|---|---|
| Loading | After the truck is closed in Riyadh |
| Al-Haditha crossing | When the truck reaches the crossing |
| Entry into Jordan | After release at the Al-Omari centre |
| Delivery | Before arrival at your address |

Documents: what you need for an accurate final quote
| Shipment type | Documents required |
|---|---|
| Household goods and personal effects | Passport with ID or iqama, bilingual inventory, Fasah mandate, and the receiver’s phone and address in Jordan |
| Store and company goods | The seller’s invoice, a packing list, the CR, and a registered Jordanian importer |
| Car | Istimara, export certificate and plates from traffic, owner’s ID, fines paid |
| Embassy or government custody | The body’s letter and a list of the property in its name, separate from the employee’s personal-effects papers |
Having these papers ready ahead of the survey sharpens the accuracy of the quote, since certain documents effectively define the type of service on their own; a mandate for the Jordanian clearing company, for example, signals that the file is ready for the special returnee customs treatment where the case qualifies, while its absence risks a delay on arrival until it is sorted out. The Al Rahwan team reviews these papers line by line before loading and flags anything missing in advance, rather than leaving the broker to discover it at the crossing.
Customs on both sides: charges added to your cost or not?
residency abroad of at least a year is needed, ended with a formal official record, given only once, ever, five years pass before a new one, six months and 10 dinars settle the partial waiver.
What Riyadh shippers cannot send, and what to declare
weapons, ammunition and narcotics are off limits, nor is counterfeit merchandise or censored publications, wireless sets such as CB radios require clearance first, alcohol is kept to a simple personal amount, fresh produce, meat and dairy need agriculture’s clearance, with customs on each side holding the final word.
Warning signs on any price that looks too low
- A final price by phone with no survey: a fixed figure for a whole house before anyone has seen the furniture, followed by doubled “extras” on loading day.
- A discount percentage with no base price: a big advertised discount with no stated figure the discount was taken from.
- No stated unit: a price “for the shipment” with no weight, volume or type given.
- Ignoring the gap between actual and volumetric weight: especially in air-freight offers.
- Full payment demanded up front: with no shipment reference and no itemised quote.
Questions to ask before accepting any price
- Is this price final, or does it start from a figure that may rise after the survey?
- What is the basis of charge: per piece, per kilo, per room or per carrier?
- Does it include clearance at the Al-Haditha crossing and the Al-Omari centre?
- Does it include dismantling, packing and assembly, or transport only?
- What exactly does this price exclude?
- Are insurance and storage included in the figure, or separate items?
- From when are the 3–4 days counted, and from which moment?
- How is payment made: how much up front and when is the balance due?
Payment steps that lock in your price
Every figure shown in this table marks only a starting point (“from”), and nailing down the precise final price takes a real survey: a supervisor visits your house or warehouse, or handles small shipments over a short video call, works out the packed volume, identifies whatever extra services are needed such as air-conditioner removal, storage or insurance, and then issues an itemised quote that holds firm on loading day. That one step separates a rough first-call figure from a final price worth trusting. The survey itself reaches every district of Riyadh and its suburbs, from Al Malqa, An Nuzhah and Hittin in the north down to As Sulay and Al Shifa in the south, and loads from Al Kharj, Diriyah, Al Muzahmiyah and Al Majmaah can be consolidated with the capital’s shipment at the same survey appointment on request.
- Request: a call or WhatsApp to 0568829975, or the website form, giving your Riyadh district, the delivery governorate and the type of shipment.
- Free survey: the supervisor comes to the house or store, or a short video call covers a small load.
- Itemised quote: transport, packing, dismantling, assembly and extras, each with its own amount.
- Payment: a deposit secures the booking and the balance is paid after loading. There is no instalment plan.
- Loading, crossing and delivery: at the timescales and tracking points described above.
Deposit and balance: why there is no instalment plan
The same payment structure applies across every shipment Al Rahwan handles: a deposit secures the booking once the itemised quote is confirmed, with the balance due right after loading and before the truck sets off. No line offers an instalment plan, since transport and clearance costs effectively kick in the moment loading starts, and the company needs full payment confirmed before committing to the agreed crossing and delivery date. This arrangement also protects the customer, since the full amount is never asked for until an itemised, documented quote is already in hand.
Car and furniture together: a combined calculation example
Shipping a whole house together with a car means paying two independent prices folded into a single quote: a whole villa at SAR 3,900 plus a luxury car in an enclosed carrier at SAR 4,300 brings the combined total to SAR 8,200, with the carrier’s schedule aligned to the furniture truck’s so the car lands close to when the furniture does.
Government and embassy custody: a quote kept separate
As a capital city, Riyadh hosts embassies, consulates, government bodies and large companies whose shipments to Jordan are quoted separately from household moves. An organisation’s or embassy’s property is listed under its own name with its own documents, its quote kept apart from an employee’s personal belongings, which travel under his own name even when both share the same truck. Keeping pricing separate this way smooths clearance for each party and stops two distinct invoices from getting mixed up with one another.
Delivery from Riyadh to Jordan’s governorates
| Governorate | Time from Riyadh |
|---|---|
| Amman | 3–4 days |
| Zarqa | 3–4 days |
| Irbid, Madaba and Balqa | 3–4 days |
| Mafraq, Jerash and Ajloun | 3–4 days |
| Karak, Tafilah, Ma’an and Aqaba | One to two days more |
Delivery in Jordan: what the price covers on arrival
The home-removal price at Al Rahwan reaches beyond delivery to the kerb, covering unloading, placement, assembly and arranging everything at your new address. In apartment blocks, the lift is reserved and building management’s approval secured ahead of time, with these details worked out alongside the supervisor during the survey so no unagreed charge catches you by surprise on delivery day. Once delivered, the team walks the receiver through the inventory piece by piece, logging any note immediately on the delivery record so nothing is left unresolved once the crew departs.

The cheapest way without sacrificing quality
Shipping that turns out cheap but arrives short or broken is no bargain at all. The smarter move is matching the option to your shipment’s actual size: a shared load for cartons from SAR 150 each, a part load from SAR 1,100, or a sedan on a shared transporter from SAR 980. Trimming the load by selling off cheap old furniture before departure genuinely moves the needle on the survey quote, cubic metre by cubic metre, and booking early spares you any cost from unplanned waiting or storage.
Common mistakes when working out shipping costs from Riyadh
- Relying on a phone figure with no survey and no breakdown.
- Measuring furniture before packing without accounting for the volume it gains afterward.
- Confusing actual weight with volumetric weight on air freight.
- Comparing an advertised discount percentage without knowing the original price it was taken from.
- Forgetting insurance or storage from the first estimate, then being surprised by their cost later.
- Assuming the transport price automatically includes dismantling and assembly without checking the itemised quote on paper.
- Leaving the Jordan receiver’s papers until loading day, which delays clearance and lengthens the wait.
From Jordan to Riyadh: reverse-direction prices
Shipping runs from Jordan back to Riyadh too, at roughly the same price table, serving families heading home as well as companies importing from Jordanian suppliers. The load travels from the Al-Omari centre to the Al-Haditha crossing and on into Riyadh, priced the same way after a survey or an accurate description from the receiver, reachable on the same number, 0568829975. Plenty of Jordanian residents working in the Kingdom use this service both ways, shipping their household to Riyadh on arrival and back to Jordan once their work wraps up, with the same itemised pricing applying each time.
Why trust Al Rahwan’s prices from Riyadh to Jordan?
What sets Al Rahwan apart is an itemised price with the basis of every amount explained before any payment, a figure that holds after the survey with no surprise increases on loading day, and straight talk on when an extra service like air freight or insurance is worth the added cost and when it is not. This price table stays steady across seasons too; whatever it starts from at one time of year is what it starts from at any other, barring a temporary offer that lowers the base price rather than raising it.
