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.
At the rental company office, you may be required to provide an international driving licence.

To explore the option and associated costs of returning your Jerusalem rental car to a different city like Haifa, select the "return to another place" option during your search. The results will only show rental companies that accommodate car returns at alternative locations. The listed price on our website already includes any one-way fees.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
