Car Rental in Israel: Comprehensive Driving Guide
If you're planning a visit to Israel and need a rental car, this guide will help you navigate the roads safely and efficiently.
Driving in Israel with a Foreign License
Good news for travelers from the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.: your local driver’s license is valid in Israel. While not necessary, an international driver’s license can be a fun keepsake from your trip.
Getting Assistance: Israel Auto Club (MEMSI)
MEMSI is Israel’s automobile club, helpful for both locals and tourists. Here’s how to reach their offices:
- Tel Aviv Office: Located at 20 Rehov Ha-Rakevet. Phone: 03-564-1121. Open 8:30 AM to 7 PM, and until 1 PM on Fridays. Closed on Saturdays.
- Jerusalem Office: Situated at 31 Ben Yehuda St. Phone: 02-625-9711. Same office hours as Tel Aviv.
- Haifa Office: Also found at 31 Ben Yehuda St. Contact details are the same.
Renting vs. Importing a Car
While you can import your own car for up to a year, renting a car in cities like Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, or Haifa is much simpler and cost-effective.
Road Conditions in Israel
Israel boasts modern highways and well-maintained roads, especially in Jerusalem. Some rural roads may be narrow and winding, particularly routes to Eilat and the Golan Heights.
Driving Behavior and Education
Israeli drivers can be assertive, but many also exhibit careful driving habits. Israel has enhanced its driver education programs, focusing on defensive driving techniques.
Traffic Regulations and Tickets
Speed enforcement is strict, with cameras monitoring for violations. To avoid tickets, adhere to speed limits and be cautious of aggressive drivers. Follow these tips for a smooth driving experience.
We hope this guide enhances your visit to Israel. Enjoy your journey!
