Average Car Rental Prices in Jerusalem

Renting a car in the historic city of Jerusalem offers convenience for tourists and business travelers alike. The average daily rate for a standard car rental typically ranges from $40 to $70, depending on the season and the rental company's promotions. However, during peak tourist seasons or Jewish holidays, prices can surge, witnessing an increase of approximately 20-30%. Similar pricing patterns can be observed in coastal cities like Netanya. It is also noteworthy that

SUVs or luxury vehicles, which provide additional comfort and space, can average between $80 and $120 per day. These rates usually include basic insurance, but additional coverage could increase the cost substantially. Budget-conscious travelers often opt for compact or economy models, which can bring the daily rate down to about $30 to $50.

To secure the best deals, it is advisable to book in advance, especially before major holidays or festivals. Rental companies often offer discounts for longer rental periods, so it can be cost-effective to rent a vehicle for a week or more rather than for a few days. Always compare prices and check for hidden fees to avoid unexpected charges.

FAQ

1. Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car in Jerusalem?

If your driving licence is issued in the EU/EEA, it is accepted throughout Israel without an international permit. For licences in non-Latin scripts (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required alongside your original licence. It's always a good idea to carry an IDP as a backup.

2. Is it cheaper to rent a car at the airport or in the city centre of Jerusalem?

Airport rental offices in Jerusalem often charge a premium of 10–20% due to airport surcharges. City-centre locations may offer better base rates but factor in the cost of getting there. Compare both options on Cars Scanner — sometimes free shuttle services from the airport make city pickups worthwhile.

3. What happens if my flight is delayed and the rental office is closed?

Most major rental companies at airports in Israel have extended operating hours or 24-hour counters. If your flight is delayed, contact the rental company as soon as possible. Many offer a grace period of 1–2 hours. If the delay is significant, they can usually reschedule your pick-up to the next day without penalty — just call ahead.

4. When will the security deposit be returned to my card?

The security deposit is typically released within 7–14 business days after you return the car, provided there is no damage. Some banks may take up to 30 days to process the refund. The deposit is a temporary hold on your credit card — the actual amount blocked depends on the vehicle class and insurance coverage chosen.

5. What should I do if I get a traffic fine?

If you receive a traffic fine while driving in Israel, the rental company will typically forward it to you along with an administration fee (€20–50). Pay the fine promptly to avoid escalation. If you disagree, you can appeal through the issuing authority. Always photograph any unclear signage as evidence. Keep your rental agreement handy for reference.

6. Is there a mileage limit on rental cars?

Many rentals in Jerusalem come with unlimited mileage, especially for weekly bookings. However, some economy deals may include a daily cap (e.g. 200–300 km/day) with extra charges per kilometre beyond the limit. Always check the mileage policy in your booking confirmation — unlimited mileage offers the best value for longer trips.

7. What happens if I return the car late?

Most rental companies in Jerusalem offer a grace period of 30–59 minutes. Beyond that, you will be charged for an additional day. To avoid unexpected costs, plan your return time carefully. If you know you'll be late, contact the rental office — they may extend your booking at a lower rate than the late-return penalty.

8. What should I do in case of an accident with the rental car?

If you have an accident in Jerusalem:

  1. Ensure everyone's safety and call emergency services if needed (112 in Europe)
  2. Document everything — take photos of damage, the scene, and other vehicles
  3. Fill in the accident report form (usually found in the glove compartment)
  4. Contact the rental company immediately
  5. Do not admit fault or sign documents you don't understand

Your rental insurance will cover damages within the agreed terms.

9. What are the key driving rules in Jerusalem?

Key rules when driving in Israel:

  • Drive on the right side of the road
  • Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers
  • Mobile phones may only be used hands-free
  • Headlights must be on at all times in some areas
  • Blood alcohol limit is typically 0.05% (stricter for new drivers)

Familiarise yourself with local signage and speed limits before setting off.

10. What is the minimum age to rent a car in Jerusalem?

The minimum age to rent a car in Jerusalem is typically 21 years. Drivers aged 21–24 may face a young driver surcharge of €10–30 per day. Some premium and luxury vehicles require the driver to be at least 25. Always check the specific rental company's age policy before booking.
