Driving Tips

Driving a car rental in Israel is mostly stress free due to a well-maintained road network and decent signage in Hebrew and English. You will find some congestion in bigger cities and on Highway 1 from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem during rush hour. The legal alcohol limit for driving is extremely low so we recommend abstaining completely when using your rental vehicle.

Here are some important rules to remember when driving your car rental in Israel:

• Driving in Israel is on the right.
• Speed limits are posted in km/h. In urban areas the speed limit is generally 50 km/h and 90 km/h on highways.
• From November to April headlights must be kept on during the day.
• Turning right at a red light is forbidden unless there is a separate light for turning. Some intersections have separate lanes for right turns.
• Talking on a mobile phone without a hands-free kit is not allowed.
• Parking on red and white is forbidden while parking on blue and white requires a fee.
