- 1). Research the websites of car rental companies offering services in Lebanon. Hertz is one of the major international companies based in the region, while firms such as Lebanon Car Rental and Adonis Rent A Car are also worth considering.
- 2). Book online before you travel. With Hertz, you can arrange for a car to be waiting at Beirut Airport when you arrive in Lebanon. A range of models including Toyota, Peugeot, Honda and BMW are available. 4-wheel drives such as the Porsche Cayenne are also on hand. The airport desk is open 24 hours. Hertz has a number of airline and hotel partners where you can earn air miles and loyalty points through partner programs. Child seats are available with rental cars collected at the airport.
- 3). Try Lebanon Car Rental to get the best deal from local car rental companies in locations across Lebanon. The company provides price comparison for all the leading providers in the area and can offer savings when you book online. You can search for a range of motors from economy standard to luxury on Lebanon Car Rental's website.
- 4). Contact Adonis Rent a Car if you are looking to rent cars in Lebanon destinations outside of Beirut. Adonis has offices in Sin el Fil, Tripoli and Adonis and has a fleet of over 350 cars catering to both business and vacation travel. Vehicles available range from small cars such as the Kia Picanto to sports cars like the Mini Cooper and luxury cars including the Mercedes C180. If you require a larger vehicle, the fleet includes the Renault Cargo and a 25-seat bus.
- 5). Make sure you have the appropriate documentation and insurance to drive in Beirut. You will need proof of ID and your reservation confirmation to collect a rental car as well as an International Driving Permit.
- 6). Be aware that driving in Lebanon may be difficult. The Lebanon expat website suggests that few drivers in Beirut follow the rules of the road and warn against driving in Beirut, particularly during the rush hour. Road conditions can be poor, traffic lights are rare outside of Beirut and parking is hard to find in the Lebanese capital.
