Car Rental Information for Israel

About Israel

Israel is a unique travel destination that blends ancient history with vibrant modern culture. It is renowned for its religious and historical significance, attracting millions of visitors to sites sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Beyond its spiritual heritage, Israel offers diverse landscapes from the Mediterranean coastline to the Dead Sea’s lowest point on earth, and the Negev Desert’s stark beauty. Cities like Jerusalem and Tel Aviv provide a dynamic contrast—Jerusalem with its timeless religious landmarks and Tel Aviv with its bustling nightlife and beaches. Visitors are drawn by the rich cultural tapestry, archaeological treasures, and the opportunity to experience a society that is both ancient and innovative. Israel’s culinary scene, lively markets, and warm hospitality add to its appeal, making it a compelling destination for history buffs, adventure seekers, and cultural explorers alike.

Driving in Israel

Major car rental companies such as Avis, Hertz, and Europcar operate in Israel. Daily rental costs typically range from $40 to $70, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must be at least 21 years old, hold a valid driver’s license (an International Driving Permit is recommended for non-Israeli licenses), and have a credit card. Roads are generally in good condition, but traffic can be heavy in cities. Parking is limited and often paid in urban centers like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Tourists may not need a car if staying in major cities due to good public transport, but renting a car is recommended for exploring remote areas like the Negev Desert or the Galilee region.
