This study aims to determine if Saudi women are intrinsically motivated to drive and participate in different activities that satisfy their basic psychological needs. This study also aims to determine how Saudi women's motivations to drive and the satisfaction of the three basic needs impact their psychological wellbeing. Based on qualitative interview design, this study utilized individual interviews to explain in detail women's motivations and to understand their responses within their cultural framework. Analysis of this study's results indicated that some Saudi women drivers' emotional well-being was improved by satisfying their sense of autonomy, driving competence, and relatedness. Meaning some Saudi women were not only intrinsically motivated to obtain a driver's license and drive but also engaged in different activities. These findings can help researchers extend current knowledge and determine strategies that promote Saudi women's satisfaction of the three basic psychological needs and protect their well-being.  \nTable of Contents  \nAbstract iii  \nTable of Contents iv  \nList of Tables vii  \nList of Figures viii  \n1.
