Economy & Compact
Economy Car Rental in Lebanon
If the point of the rental is to move around without spending more than you need to, an economy or compact car is the right choice. They are the cheapest cars in our fleet to rent, the easiest to park in Beirut, and the most economical on fuel.
This is the most popular category with students, residents between cars, and visitors who mainly drive inside the city and along the coast.
Rates in this category currently start from $35 per day, with weekly and monthly rates applied automatically for longer rentals.

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.
Why a small car works well in Lebanon
Beirut's older neighbourhoods were not built for large vehicles. Streets in Gemmayzeh, Mar Mikhael and Hamra reward a car you can place in a tight space without a three-point turn.
Fuel efficiency matters over a long rental too: the difference between a small hatchback and a full-size SUV adds up quickly across a month of daily driving.
Keeping the cost down
- Weekly and monthly rates are applied automatically for longer rentals
- Collect from our Beirut office instead of requesting delivery
- Book early — the cheapest models are the first to be taken in summer
- Tell us your real dates so the rate is calculated on the full period
Rental conditions
- Drivers must be 23 or older with a valid licence and identity document
- Airport pickup at BEY, Beirut office collection, or delivery to your address
- Transmission, seats, luggage and fuel type are listed on every car
- Availability and the final rate are confirmed by our team before the rental starts
When to step up a size
A compact car is comfortable for two or three people with light luggage. With a full car, luggage for a family, or steep mountain routes on the itinerary, a compact SUV is worth the difference in rate.
If you are not sure, describe your trip to us and we will recommend the smallest car that will actually suit it.
