Driving Tips for Israel
The SIXT staff will be happy to assist with any tips for driving in Israel. However, to ensure a seamless experience with Israel car hire, adhere to the following rules:
- Temperature: Israel is located in a part of the world that experiences extreme heat during the summer months. Ensure you are always prepared, travel with bottles of water and be sure to use the air-conditioning at all times.
- Speed limits: Make sure you do not exceed the speed limits in your hire car in Israel. In cities, this is generally 50 km/h (31 mph); in rural areas, it’s 90 km/h (56 mph), whereas on motorways, it’s 110 km/h (68 mph).
- Parking: Most roads have markings on the curbs to indicate parking. Red-and-white stripes mean parking is forbidden, whilst blue-and-white stripes indicate paid parking.
- One-way streets: One-way streets are commonplace in major cities in Israel, such as Tel Aviv. Make sure you use a GPS and try not to take a wrong turn.
