Car rental in Lebanon

Lebanon offers a myriad of spectacular sights, circulating around rich history, characteristic culture, and breath-taking nature. However, driving rules and conventions can prove to be quite different from the UK.

Car Hire Recommendations

Opt for a smaller car size if you'll be exploring the vibrant cities, as space can be quite tight. Jeeps or 4X4s are recommended if you're venturing into the mountains or taking the unbeaten paths. But always ensure the vehicle has air conditioning, trust us on this one.

Local Traffic Rules and Speed Limits

Remember to stay on the right-hand side of the road here, unlike the UK. Speed limits usually range from 50 km/h in urban areas to 100 km/h on highways, but always keep an eye out for local signage!

Unique Driving Customs

Many Lebanese drivers may bypass using indicators, relying more on car honks and lights to communicate. A honk could mean several things - be prepared and stay alert. Additionally, seat belts are often overlooked. Still, as a responsible tourist, please buckle up for your safety.

Get Around with Confidence

Finding parking in the city can be a challenge. But don't fret, valet parking is widely available in Lebanon and are affordably priced around $2 - $5, taking the hassle out of your hands.

Destinations and Routes
