Car rental Northern District

Getting Around

Renting a car is by far the best way to explore the Northern District. Make sure to choose a car that suits the terrain and the kind of activities you've planned. A sedan is perfect for city trips and a 4x4 is ideal for off-road adventures in the countryside.

Driving in the Northern District

General speed limits in Israel are 50 km/h in built up areas, 80 km/h on non-urban roads, and 100-120 km/h on highways. Always respect these limits to avoid hefty fines.

Remember to drive on the right side and overtake on the left. Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers and using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited.
