Libya Getting Around

Getting Around by Road
Bus/taxi: There are few bus services, mainly luxury, air-conditioned coaches between Tripoli and Benghazi and other major urban areas. A minibus service operates from Benghazi to Tobruk. Long distance taxi fares can be quite expensive and should be agreed in advance.
Car hire: Car hire is available from international companies based in Tripoli airport and city, but as you have to be escorted to travel in Libya it is more likely that your tour company will arrange a car with driver.
Regulations: Police enforcement of traffic signs and laws is rare.
Documentation: A national driving licence is valid for three months. After this time, a Libyan licence must be obtained.
Note: Travellers visiting the desert regions require permission (a desert pass) from the Libyan authorities in advance. Tour operators can usually obtain these. Oil companies will provide passes for their employees.
