Israel is a country strengthened by history and brightened with numerous captivating secret paradises. It has several art galleries and museums that speak of the culture, craft and ingenuity of Israel. The city of Galilee and Nazareth are famous hotspots of the countr, and there are stunning tourist spots in each city.
If you want to really make the most of the country, hiring a car is by far the best option. With Car Hire 3000 you can organise your car hire in Israel before you leave the UK, meaning that it will be ready for you when you arrive in Israel.
Driving in Israel can be a little tricky for foreign visitors. Locals are not known to be patient people. In Israel, driving is done on the right of the road.
The speed limit is set at 50 km/h in urban areas and 90 km/h on motroways, unless indicated otherwise. Car lights should be on at all the times between the months of November and April. Infants should be in safety seats and children under 12 years old should buckle up for safety.
Luckily, almost all traffic signs in Israel are written in three languages: Hebrew, English, and Arabic. This ensures that they can always be understood and should always be followed.
Be on the lookout for road markings. Roads marked with red and white stripes indicate no parking. If you happen to see yellow arrows in the middle of the road, it means it is for public transportation and not for regular cars. Blue and white marks means that you may park in that area only if you have the appropriate parking ticket. Red and yellow stripes on the sidewalk indicate public transportation and you are not allowed to stop in that area.
You only have to pay for toll on Highway No. 6. The toll fee is collected according to vehicle registration number. Take note that if you rent a car, you will have to agree that you will not use highway no. 6 because if you do you need to pay the car hire company extra.
Summary:
- Seatbelts should always be worn
- Children should sit in the back
- Traffic signs are generally also written in English
- For safety reasons, you should never drink and drive
