With taxis being expensive in Bahrain you may find yourself wishing to rent a car, especially if you’re in group.  There’s no shortage of car hire companies at the airport but you’ll get better deals reserving one in advance.  Parking is provided at the circuit in abundance and is free for vehicles with two or more passengers.

Public buses in Manama have come on leaps and bounds since Formula One started visiting Bahrain. BPTC public buses are new, comfortable and are all decked out with 4G wifi.  Pay with cash or grab a rechargeable GO CARD and just tap as you enter the bus.

There’s no official shuttle bus for F1 fans put on by race organizers, but a number of major hotels in Manama do run either a free or paid shuttle bus service to the Bahrain circuit. Check with your hotel in advance to see if they are doing this.

Going to the circuit from downtown Manama with a Uber is cheaper than using a regular taxi. On your way back after the Grand Prix there may be a long wait for Ubers and taxis so arrange pick up in advance if possible.
