Organizing transport for a large Umrah group is not simple. You have got different families, different bag sizes, elderly passengers who need a comfortable seat, and children who need to stay close to their parents. Squeezing that into two or three sedans and hoping everyone arrives together is asking for a headache. The Coaster exists for this situation. Makkah Cab runs it across every major Umrah route in Saudi Arabia.
It has eighteen seats, one vehicle, one driver, and one fare. Your group leaves together, travels together, and arrives together. No one is in a different car wondering where the rest went. There will be no separate booking for the return. Just one confirmed Coaster doing everything your group needs from the airport to the hotel, city to city, and everywhere in between.
What Makes the Coaster Right for Umrah Groups?
The Coaster is a Toyota minibus, eighteen seats laid out in proper rows with AC running through the full length of the cabin. Under-vehicle luggage storage handles the bags so nobody is sitting with suitcases on their laps for five hours. The seating height works well for older passengers who find getting in and out of low sedans difficult after a long journey.
For large Umrah groups, the maths also works out very well. One Coaster fare split across fifteen or sixteen people comes to a per-head cost. It is often cheaper than booking smaller vehicles and trying to coordinate them.
Beyond the money, the whole group being in one vehicle is just easier to manage. Everyone boards at the same time and everyone arrives at the same time. The driver deals with one group instead of multiple drivers dealing with separate ones.
Makkah to Madinah Coaster
The Makkah to Madinah drive is around 450 kilometres and takes five to six hours depending on when you travel. For a group of fifteen or eighteen people, doing this in one Coaster is far more practical than splitting across smaller vehicles.
Makkah Cab runs the Makkah to Madinah Coaster at SAR 850 for the full vehicle. Across eighteen passengers, that is under SAR 47 each for a private non-stop intercity ride. Most groups leave after Fajr; the driver knows the route well, and the group pulls into Madinah by mid-morning, ready for prayer.
Madinah to Makkah Coaster
The fare for a Madinah to Makkah coaster is SAR 850 for the full Coaster. Groups wrapping up their time in Madinah and heading back to Makkah for final Tawaf or additional Umrah do this regularly. The Coaster handles it the same way each time.
A lot of group organisers book both the Makkah to Madinah and Madinah to Makkah Coasters together when they first get in touch with Makkah Cab. Both routes confirmed, both fares locked in, nothing to sort out while the group is already mid-trip trying to focus on worship.
Jeddah to Makkah Coaster
Groups landing at King Abdulaziz Airport and heading straight to Makkah take the Coaster from arrivals. The driver is at the airport before the flight lands. Eighteen people load up in one go. They head directly to the hotel without the chaos of splitting a large group into multiple vehicles outside a busy international terminal.
The Jeddah to Makkah Coaster fare is SAR 600 per vehicle, not per person. For an Umrah group of twelve to eighteen people, this is a very straightforward and cost-effective airport transfer.
Makkah to Jeddah Coaster
Groups flying out of Jeddah at the end of the trip take the same Coaster back to King Abdulaziz Airport. The coaster fare is SAR 500 for the full vehicle on this route. Give Makkah Cab your flight departure time when booking. The driver plans the pickup from your Makkah hotel with enough buffer for the drive and airport check-in.
For a group of fifteen or sixteen people with an early morning flight, having a confirmed Coaster already booked is the only sensible arrangement. Last-minute airport transport for a large group never goes well.
Makkah Ziyarat Coaster
A Makkah Ziyarat day in a Coaster covers all the significant Islamic sites in and around the city in one vehicle. Cave Hira, Jabal Thawr, Jannat al-Mualla, the Miqat, and Masjid al-Jinn are covered. Every stop, everyone together, with the driver waiting at each site.
Makkah Ziyarat Coaster fare starts at SAR 350 for the full vehicle. For a large group, this is genuinely the most sensible way to do Ziyarat in Makkah. No coordination between separate vehicles and no one missing a stop because they were in the other car. No one will be rushing through a site because the driver in the next vehicle is ready to move.
Madinah Ziyarat Coaster
Madinah Ziyarat covers Masjid Quba, Mount Uhud, Masjid Qiblatain, Jannatul Baqi, and more in the same Coaster setup. The driver stays with the group throughout the full day and handles parking at each site.
Groups that want to include Wadi-e-Jinn on the same Madinah Ziyarat day can request it at the time of booking. Mention it upfront, and the driver plans accordingly so the full day runs smoothly without any backtracking.
Book Your Umrah Coaster with Makkah Cab.
Conclusion
WhatsApp or call Makkah Cab with your group size, travel date, route, and hotel details. Coaster confirmed, fare locked in, driver assigned. One conversation sorts everything.
During Ramadan and Hajj season, the Coaster books up fast. Groups that leave it to the week before travel often find limited availability. Book earlier, especially for peak months, and your group’s transport is already handled before anyone boards the flight.
