Should I hire a car in Israel?

Hiring a car in Israel offers you the freedom of exploring parts of the country only accessible by car. There are also the old cities of Tzfat and Nazareth for those hoping to take a step through history, as well as cosmopolitan Tel Aviv with its cafes and beaches. 

What Israel lacks in size, it more than makes up for when it comes to variety. Once you land here, it’s likely you’ll be heading to one of these locations:

The capital of Israel, Jerusalem, is a fascinating city and represents the meeting point for three of the world’s main religions – Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The most important religious buildings are to be found in the Old City and include the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Temple Mount, Hurva Synagogue, Dome of the Rock shrine, the Western Wall, and Al-Aqsa Mosque. 

If you’re after a sightseeing tour of the landscape, head to the Dead Sea. The feeling of floating on water ten times saltier than the sea is peculiar to say the least, while rocky deserts and rolling hills make for a spectacular backdrop. Alternatively, head to the Golan Heights, the mountainous northern region is one of the most beautiful and travelled areas in Israel. If you can, make sure you visit the mountains and valleys of Galilee as well.

Where can I rent a car in Israel with Zest Car Rental?

If you’ve arrived via Tel Aviv Airport you’re well placed to explore the local wonders as well as the crisp, clean architecture of Tel Aviv’s business district. This popular city by the seaside is perfect for highlighting the cosmopolitan side of the country and is always bustling with activity.
