Car Rental at the Airport

Discovering Libya in a rental car allows flexibility and freedom. Car rental services are readily available and situated conveniently at the terminal. Remember, unlike the UK, Libyans drive on the right side of the road! This might require some time to adjust.

Recommended Car Classes

If you're clueless about the kind of car to hire, worry not. Generally, compact and economy cars are great for city driving and help save on fuel. For exploring outside the city, SUVs or 4WDs can offer a comfortable experience, especially on rugged terrains.

Getting Around

In Tripoli, street signs are often in Arabic. While some of them have English translations, it can be a good idea to bring along a good map or have access to an online navigation system while driving.

Driving Route from the Airport

The primary route from the airport to the city centre is via the Airport road (Shari'a al Matar), which is approximately 34km.

Practical Information

Currency

The local currency in Libya is the Libyan Dinar (LYD). Bear in mind that credit cards and ATM withdrawals are quite limited, so it's advisable to carry enough cash for your trip.

Climate

Libya experiences a climate different from the UK. With a predominantly Mediterranean climate, Tripoli enjoys warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters, quite a change from the British rainy ambience.

Gas Stations Near the Airport

Fuelling up won’t be a challenge. There are several petrol stations around the airport, including Al Madina Fuel Station and Bin Ghashir Fuel Station.

Surrounding Cities to Explore

Once done exploring Tripoli, why not venture out? The cities of Gharyan, Zliten and Misurata are within a day's travel from Tripoli and can offer a closer insight into Libyan history and culture.

Here's to an adventurous trip in Libya, discovering its magic in the comfort of your rental car. Happy driving!
