Baghdad is the capital of Iraq. There are lots of interesting places to visit here. This place is located along the Tigris River. The Iraqi National Museum, the monument of Hands of Victory, the Abbasid Palace, the Al Kadhimain Shi’ite Shrine which was built in 1515, the Baghdad tower which is damaged due to the war etc. are some of the must visit places of Baghdad.

    As Baghdad’s situation is not safer now due to the wars, it is better for you to visit the place under official commitment which may save you a bitter experience. The rental cars must be hired with the help of a local guide or guard and you may opt for armored vehicles for your safety.

    Some renowned hotels offer the visitors the facilities of hiring cars, chauffeurs etc. through them. But it is best to get prior information about the car companies from which you are going to hire a car. Many companies are offering discounts and it may depend on the season.
   
    Choose the best rental according to your budget and preference. Before renting the car in Baghdad, go through the terms and conditions of the company to avoid any bitter consequences. It is better to find out whether the charges are included for the driver or not. Such situations, if not cleared before hand, will lead to heated arguments which will spoil your holiday mood.

    You must fill in all the documents required by the car company before you leave for the sight seeing. If you are going to drive the car, find out the specific time of returning the car or else you may have to pay extra charges unnecessarily. You must always choose the unlimited mileage scheme while renting a car which will be economical on your budget. Find out whether the car rental company has a good reputation among its clients. This should be done before renting the car.

    If the car company asks you to return the car with a full tank of fuel, it is better to follow that, otherwise on your return they may charge extra cost per liter and grab a solid amount from you. You must carry your passport, driving license and credit card along with you. Though the car company provides you the route map of Baghdad, it is better for you to have an idea of your route and you must plan accordingly.
