Hi,
Qatar Rider is correct. Residents of neighbouring countries do not require visas to transit Saudi.
I am a UK citizen working in Kuwait, and got a transit visa (eventually) for Saudi last year. I ended up applying through one of the 'Hamlas'. These are one of many small offices/agencies that arrange Haj and Umrah (religious) trips/visas to Saudi (Mecca). They also arrange transit visas. It cost me about 10 GBP and was ready in a couple of days. It was also a multi entry one valid for months.
The Pricipal of the British School of Kuwait drove a RHD double-decker bus from UK to Kuwait a few years ago. I heard he had problems transiting Saudi in the RHD vehicle and had to call on some important friends in kuwait to pull a few strings to get him through.
You may be able to contact him through The British School of Kuwait
Hope this helps,
Godd luck
