Top tips for hiring a car in Jerusalem District
- If you are going to rent a car in Jerusalem District and will be driving with your kids, familiarize yourself with the child car seat laws in this area before setting off on your trip. According to Israeli law, kids up to three years old must be in appropriate car seats for their sizes, facing the direction of travel. Kids between the ages of three and eight must use booster seats. Kids over the age of eight are allowed to use just their seat belts. Car seats are typically available from your chosen car rental agency in the Jerusalem District, but make sure to request one in advance so there is one available for you during your rental period.
- The Jerusalem District is located in central Israel, somewhat close to the border with Jordan. Driving Jerusalem District car rentals to other regions in Israel, such as to nearby Tel Aviv, should not be a problem as long as you let your rental car company know in advance. However, use caution as you may not be able to cross into Gaza with any Jerusalem District car rentals. It is also worth noting that it is not possible to cross into Jordan in Jerusalem District car rentals. If you plan to drive to another region, always let your rental company know as this can involve extra paperwork or insurance, especially due to any border disputes.
- The speed limits in Jerusalem District can vary depending on the area you are in and the type of road on which you are driving. Israel has national default speed limits, and the ones in Jerusalem District are consistent with these. On city roads, the speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph); on non-urban roads it is 80 km/h (50 mph), and on highways it can range from 90 to 120 km/h (56 to 75 mph). Always pay attention to posted speed limit signs in case of any changes.
- Drinking and driving in Israel is taken very seriously. The legal blood alcohol concentration limit is set to a value less than in the U.S.: 0.05%. And for drivers under the age of 24 years old, the limit is set even lower at 0.01%. Drinking and driving is one of the most serious traffic offenses in Israel and is met with harsh penalties, so be sure to drive responsibly.
