Question 2

How can I get to and from the Airport to the city center of Beirut?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a car at the airport is a convenient option that allows you to drive directly to the city centre of Beirut and explore at your own pace. Alternatively, you can use airport shuttle services, public transport like buses or trains, or take a taxi or rideshare service for a direct connection.

Question 3

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 4

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Beirut?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Beirut, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

What is the process for returning a car in Beirut?
