Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Israel, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 21 August 2026.
Renting a car in Israel is highly recommended. An important reason to consider renting a car in Israel is that public transportation does not operate on Shabbat (a holy day each week in Judaism, which begins at sunset on Friday and ends at Sunset on Saturday). During this time, you’ll be limited in the modes of transportation you can take to see the sites (even many taxis won’t be operating). With a rental car, you’ll be able to see much more of the city without being limited by closures or limited routes and destinations like with public transportation. Traffic and congestion may also be lighter during Shabbat, making it easier to get around.
Compared to other similar countries, driving in Israel is relatively safe. Remember to follow the rules of the road and be aware of other drivers around you. Roads in Israel tend to be in excellent condition, and motorists drive on the right-hand side of the road and pass on the left (at least, they are supposed to). Upgrades and maintenance are often done to the roads in Israel, particularly the main highways. Nearly all road signs are also in English.
You must be at least 21 years old and no more than 75 years old to rent a car in Israel, and if younger than 25 years old, you may be faced with additional “young driver” fees. You must have also had a driver’s license for a minimum of 1 year. Car seats are also required for children under and up to the age of 4 years old. You will need to have your driver's license and passport with you when picking up your rental car. Check with your rental car company for any other mandatories, as it may vary.
With an average price of C$ 76/day, Europcar is the most popular car rental provider in Israel, booking 263% more rental cars than any other provider.
At C$ 28/day, the cheapest car rental price in Israel was found in Haifa. On average, Haifa has the cheapest daily rental car price (C$ 38/day), which is 25% below average price for cities in Israel.
In Israel, drivers are expected to drive on the right side of the road.
