Car Rental in Beirut
Beirut is a city best handled with your own car. Distances look short on a map but public transport is limited, and having a vehicle turns an awkward day of negotiated rides into something you simply drive.
ShieldedDrive rents across the whole city — Hamra, Achrafieh, Gemmayzeh, Downtown, Verdun, Badaro and out towards Dbayeh and Jounieh — with the car delivered to you or collected from our Beirut office.
Rates in this category currently start from $35 per day, with weekly and monthly rates applied automatically for longer rentals.
Available vehicles
Every car below is part of the working ShieldedDrive fleet in Lebanon. Choose a model to see full specifications, or send your dates and we will confirm what is free.









Pickup and delivery in the city
You can collect the car from our main office in Beirut, meet our team at Beirut Airport, or have the vehicle brought to your hotel, home or office at a time you set.
Delivery is the option most visitors choose: it removes the trip across town at the start of a rental and lets you do the handover where you are staying.
Driving and parking in Beirut
- Smaller cars are far easier in the older streets of Gemmayzeh, Mar Mikhael and Hamra
- Traffic is heaviest in the morning and late-afternoon peaks — plan meetings around them
- Paid and valet parking is common near restaurants, hotels and offices
- For trips into the mountains from the city, an SUV is the more comfortable choice
How a Beirut rental works
- Send your dates, pickup point and the type of car you want
- Our team checks the fleet and confirms availability and the rate with you
- You collect the car or we deliver it, and we do the condition check together
- Drivers must be 23 or older with a valid licence and identity document
Short trips and long stays
A weekend rental for coastal drives to Byblos and Batroun works differently from a month in the city while you settle in, and the rate reflects that: weekly and monthly pricing is applied automatically for longer periods.
If you are staying for a month or more, our long-term rental service is usually the better value, and the car can be delivered and collected in Beirut.
