 | | Beirut Car Rental: Breezing Through the Heart of Lebanon | | | That said, be careful when driving your rental. The roads particularly in East Beirut are in bad condition. Damage to the rental car will incur high costs and likely change your travel situation drastically. If you want to stay in the city, walking or relying on taxis might actually be best. But for travel to the outlying areas, renting a car is the satisfying thing to do.
Renting will not be a thrifty option for drivers under 25 years of age, as the rates automatically increase in every category.
You might be able to negotiate the price down if you rent from a location other than the airport.
You need to present your valid driver’s license from home, an international driving permit and your passport. Photograph the car before driving away and bring it back when planned. Hourly fees are assessed if the car is returned late. Always return the rental with a full tank or the agency will likely charge more than the market price of gasoline.
Once you have decided to rent, perhaps choose the cheapest car unless you have a special need, be that to impress or to have more storage capacity. | | | |  | | |
