Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) to Downtown Beirut, Hamra, Achrafieh, Mar Mikhael, Jounieh, Byblos and Batroun.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Beirut links Rafic Hariri International Airport with hotels and apartments in Downtown Beirut, Hamra, Achrafieh and Mar Mikhael, and with the coastal towns of Jounieh, Byblos and Batroun to the north.
Book your Beirut airport transfer before you fly and your driver waits outside the arrivals exit on the ground level, holding a sign with your name. Your flight is tracked, so the pickup follows your actual landing time.
Choose a sedan for couples or a van for families and groups, and ride door to door to your hotel, apartment or family home in Beirut or along the coast to Jounieh, Byblos and Batroun.
Our Beirut airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, leaving as soon as you have your bags, with no other passengers to wait for. It suits families visiting relatives, wedding guests and groups heading to Jounieh, Byblos or Batroun with plenty of luggage.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) is Lebanon's main airport, in Beirut's southern suburbs near the Mediterranean coast, and the hub of Middle East Airlines. All flights use one U-shaped terminal, with an East Wing and a West Wing joined through the central building.
After landing you go to General Security passport control, where many nationalities receive a visa on arrival. Then you collect your bags in the baggage hall and pass through customs. A SIM card shop is on the right after you exit arrivals, and pre-booked drivers wait outside the arrivals exit on the ground level.
Lebanon uses Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and moves to UTC+3 in summer.

We monitor the arrival of the flight on your reservation, but can't find you on a different one. Tell customer service if any of these change:
About one checked suitcase and one carry-on each; the right vehicle depends on the total volume. Tell us about golf clubs, surfboards, bikes, strollers or extra bags.
Request them when booking, with the child's age and size. Availability and any fee are confirmed on your reservation.
Give the wheelchair's size, weight and whether it folds, so a suitable vehicle is assigned.
Ask for authorization before booking and tell us about the animal and its carrier.
Visa on arrival
Many nationalities, including US, UK and EU citizens, receive a free one-month visa on arrival at passport control.
Official taxis
Use the official airport taxi rank outside arrivals, where cars carry a plane logo, rather than drivers approaching you inside.
Dollars and pounds
US dollars are widely used in Lebanon alongside the Lebanese pound, so carrying small dollar notes helps.
Time zone
Lebanon uses Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and moves to UTC+3 for daylight saving time in summer.
