If you’re looking at car hires in Erbil, you must have a full valid driver’s licence as well as two other forms of ID with you, such as a passport and credit card. You can find hire cars in Erbil if you’re under the age of 25, though most often drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 will pay an extra fee. If you're under 25, it’s also best to check if you’re allowed to hire certain categories of car, including luxury car hires in Erbil and passenger van hires, as many companies also have restrictions on these for younger drivers.
For anyone using car hires in Erbil, note that you’ll drive on the right-hand side of the road. It’s illegal to drive whilst under the influence of alcohol, and all passengers and the driver must wear seat belts at all times. It’s highly recommended to drive with a GPS or map with you; the roads can often be in poor condition or dangerous. Security stops are frequent in certain areas, so be sure that you and any other passengers carry all your ID and hire documents with you at all times whilst using hire cars in Erbil. Whilst driving, you must give priority to emergency vehicles, military, police and school buses. When entering a roundabout, note that drivers already on it have the right of way. It’s always best to check with the city’s department of motor vehicles for any recent changes to the law.
If you’re using car hires in Erbil, it’s highly recommended that you choose an SUV or other four by four vehicle – these are the more popular types of hire cars. Although other types of vehicles (including economy car hires and luxury car hires) are available, the road conditions can, at times, be poor; so if you’re planning on travelling anywhere outside Erbil, then you may also want to opt for a sturdy vehicle. While Erbil itself is on a plain below mountains, much of the surrounding area is mountainous and best suited to an SUV or four by four car hire.
If you need to park your hire car in Erbil, there are several car parks around the city, including the Ankawa Garage parking (which also has options for overnight parking). Many key places such as shopping centres, hospitals and schools also have their own car parks, if you need to visit them.
