Pick the right ride

Make sure you pick the right type of car for your trip. You can easily filter by 'seats', 'transmission' and even choose only to see 'electric' or 'hybrid' vehicles.

Get your timing right

It can really pay to play around with your timings and compare dates for your car hire to get a great price. The best time to book a bargain is 2 weeks before. The cheapest prices we've found are $67 a day and $365 a week.

Be flexible

Not sure where in Iraq you're going to visit? There’s lots of places to pick your rental car up from.

The cheapest place to pick up your rental car is Iraq.

Hire a car long term in Iraq

Looking to hire a car for more than a few weeks? It could be cheaper to rent for a full month. This can cut the admin costs for car hire companies and give you some extra time to explore too. Give it a go today and search for 30 days' worth of car hire.

Save on fuel

You can make your money go further by finding a car hire deal in Iraq with 'unlimited mileage' or a 'full to full' fuel policy. This can save you cash on topping up the tank.

Car hire in Iraq: FAQs

The types of documents you’ll need to rent a car in Iraq depend on the car rental company you go with. But in general, you will need a valid drivers license, ID and passport. Once you’ve booked car hire in Iraq, you can easily get in touch with your chosen provider to find out.

It’s easy to hire a car in Iraq. First, you need to decide where in Iraq you want to pick up your car from.

Once you’ve decided where you want to go, simply enter your dates and search for the best deal for you. Once you’ve found your deal, you’ll be redirected to the provider to book with no extra fees.

You can rent a car for as long as you like, depending on availability. If you know what dates you’re needing wheels for, start searching with Skyscanner today.

It depends where in Iraq you want to visit. The most popular place to go is Erbil. On average, it costs $110 per day to rent a car there. The cheapest price we could find is $54 per day.

Most car hire deals in Iraq include basic insurance cover. You don’t need to add excess insurance, but it’s worth thinking about.

In Iraq, the excess (what you pay if the car gets damaged or stolen) ranges from $893 to $5,050, depending on who you book with. Excess insurance prices in Iraq also vary by company.

You can buy excess insurance separately, which is usually cheaper than buying it through the car hire company.
It depends. Some car hire companies in Iraq accept debit cards, others require a credit card. Check the company’s accepted payment methods before you book.

Either way, the card needs to be in the main driver's name and you'll need enough money on it to cover a security deposit. You’ll get that back when you return the car.
If you've booked car hire with free cancellation, you can usually cancel or change your booking without paying a fee. The time you have to cancel depends on the car hire company, but it's typically around 48 hours before pick-up. If you cancel after that, you may be charged.

If your booking doesn't include free cancellation, you'll need to check the car hire company's policy. Depending on when you cancel, you might need to pay a cancellation fee or you won’t get a refund.
We couldn’t find any electric car hire deals in Iraq. More EVs are becoming available, so that could change in the future. If you're still looking for a lower-emission option, you can compare hybrid cars on Skyscanner.
The easiest way to compare car hire in Iraq is to look at lots of companies at the same time, rather than checking each one individually.

Skyscanner is a comparison website. We search 5 car hire companies and compare prices across 184 available cars – so you don't have to.
Medium car hire is the most popular choice in Iraq. Think models like the Nissan Versa. Around 25% of recent Skyscanner bookings in Iraq were for this type of car.
