The car is driven up from Damascus
Tab has one branch, at Damascus City Centre in Al-Mazraa, and every car rental in Aleppo we arrange starts there: the car goes north on the M5 through Homs and Hama, about 355 km, and is handed to you in Aleppo. Delivery anywhere in the city, or to Aleppo International Airport, is $50, added to your quote before you pay. You pick the spot when you book.
Because the car has to make that drive — roughly five hours in normal conditions — the one thing worth getting right is notice. Tell us the day and the hour you want the keys and we will work backwards from that.
Where people ask us to meet them
Aleppo is Syria's second city and it is not a place to guess at. Most handovers happen in a few areas: the hotels around Saadallah al-Jabri Square, the streets of Aziziyah and Sulaymaniyah, the university district west of the centre, and New Aleppo out past the ring road. If you are here for the Citadel and the covered souq, say so — the old city's lanes are narrow and largely closed to cars, so we will suggest a handover point on its edge rather than a street you cannot drive into.
Aleppo airport
Aleppo International sits about 10 km east of the centre, one of the shortest airport-to-city runs in the country — twenty minutes or so outside the rush. It is a small, single-terminal airport, so finding each other is simple: we are outside arrivals with the car, and you drive away from the car park instead of bargaining at the taxi rank. Airport delivery is the same $50.
What Aleppo puts within reach
Aleppo is a base as much as a destination. Latakia and the coast are a run west on the M4, Idlib is about 60 km south-west, and the Bab al-Hawa crossing sits roughly 60 km to the north-west. Homs and Hama are on the way back down the M5, which makes a loop more sensible than a there-and-back trip. This is also where a car hire earns its keep: services between the northern towns run to nobody's timetable but their own, and a taxi held for the day costs more than the car does.
Send us your dates and either your flight number or an address in Aleppo, and we will come back with the car and the $50 delivery confirmed in one message.
