What about Insurance. I had rented a car from a local company through another libyan, total rip off Learned the hard way, payed 50lyd a day for a compact chevy and because another libyan was the middle man He was like oh dont worry about the insurance or anything its not worth much in Libya anyway, had an accident where i got rear ended by a cop in a cab, ended up buying the owner a new chevy... no matter what car i had picked for him to view (used) He made his busted up car to be heavenly and Blessed! where nothing was good enough.
so! Long story short stick with the international Car rental companies where Insurance on the vehicle is available. traffic here is crazy, and no matter how good of a driver you may be alot of ppl driving around have no idea how to do so, Pay a hundred bucks, get a license! But I still enjoy every moment of it... Cutting cars off to make a left turn! Awe yeah!
