KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Erbil

  • Car rentals in Erbil feature rental cars that offer a number of advantages over relying on public transit. Unlike public transit, which operates on fixed schedules, a rental car will allow you to create your own trip schedule and explore the region's attractions that might be inaccessible by public transport such as buses. Some of Erbil's attractions that you may tour in your ride from the Erbil car rentals include the Citadel of Erbil, Sami Abdulrahman Park, and Jalil Khayat Mosque. The region's public transit can be crowded and uncomfortable, particularly during peak hours. With a rental car, you will enjoy a private and personalized trip, free from crowded buses or trains, and you will also minimize the travel time by taking more direct routes.
  • For those visiting Erbil for a vacation or a business trip, the region's destination airport is Erbil International Airport (EBL). EBL is the main international airport serving Erbil and its surrounding regions. At EBL, you will find several Erbil car rentals available to cater to your needs. Upon arriving at the airport's arrivals area, you will find a variety of car rental desks conveniently situated within the terminal. These desks are easily accessible, ensuring a smooth transition from your flight to the rental process. You'll be guided in selecting your rental car by the knowledgeable staff at your car rental desk.
  • The driving experience in Erbil, Iraq, can be chaotic and sometimes unpredictable. The city roads are bustling with vehicles of all kinds, ranging from cars to motorcycles to taxis. Traffic rules and regulations are generally enforced, but the enforcement may be inconsistent at times. With your vehicle from car rentals in Erbil, you need to be constantly alert and prepared for sudden lane changes, overtaking maneuvers, and unexpected traffic patterns. You should often rely on honking your horns to communicate with other drivers, which adds to the overall noisy ambiance of the city. Pedestrians and stray animals may also be navigating the roads, so it's crucial to be cautious and yield to them when necessary.
  • Erbil's morning rush hour begins around 7:30 am and lasts until around 9:00 am. During this period, the roads leading to the main commercial and business districts, as well as educational institutions, are congested. Evening rush hour typically begins around 4:30 am and lasts until 7 pm As people depart for work and businesses close for the day, this time sees a spike in vehicle traffic. You should plan your trips in advance, allow additional travel time, and consider alternate routes to avoid the busiest areas during rush hour.
