Top tips for hiring a car at Beirut Airport
If you need a car hire at Beirut Airport, you can find the car hire desks very easily. Once you’ve passed through customs and collected your baggage, you’ll come through the Arrivals Hall where you’ll find all the car hire desks in the same location. The friendly staff will be awaiting your arrival and will assist you with any queries regarding car hires. If you’re in a rush and want a good deal, we recommend booking your hire car prior to your trip through KAYAK.
A Beirut Airport car hire is a convenient way to travel around and explore Lebanon. As the country is quite small, you’ll be able to fit in lots of places on your travel itinerary if you have a hire car. Compared to public transportation, which from the airport only consists of airport taxi services, you have a lot more flexibility and freedom driving a hire car. The public bus service in Beirut and the rest of the country can be quite difficult to follow as the timetables can be complicated, so it will save a lot of time and unnecessary stress arranging a hire car from the airport.
Beirut Airport is situated just outside the city, in the south, and is only 5 miles from the centre. With a hire car it’s extremely accessible, it will only take around 10min to drive into the city and you can reach it really easily using one road: the 51M. If you’re looking to get the most of out of the hire car, then visit places such as Byblos, around 28 miles north of Beirut, and accessible directly on the same 51M road from the airport. Realistically you could travel the whole northwest coast of the country in under 2h, the northern city of Tripoli is only 55 miles away, which takes around 1h 15min via the same route on the 51M.
If you’re looking at a car hire at Beirut Airport, you’ll need to be sure of your car hire company’s policies, especially when it comes to collection and drop-off locations and what hours of the day the company accepts vehicle returns. Most companies have different office hours and may require you to confirm the time of day in which you intend to return your hire car. When booking online we recommend you check whether outside of office hours returns are included in the rental agreement, as well as the location for collection and drop-off.
