Hi,

I would like to bring a car with me to Israel during my summer vacation. Does anyone knows how to do it?

Must i have an Israeli driver's license to do it?

What about Insurance?

How long can i leave it in Israel for?

Whom is allowed to drive the car?

Many thanks

As a Tourist you can bring your car for half a year. You need carnett (green international insurance which covers Israel!). You and whoever is signed on this paper can drive the car. You can drive with your drivers licence. After half a year you will have to give a deposit for the taxes at port in the value of the car as Israel has 128 % import tax on cars ie your car is worth USD 30,000 - you will have to give a deposit of USD 30'000 to customs here. This deposit can be a bank guarantee from an Israeli bank. You will have to take out your car after the total year.

Hi,

If you are coming to Israel for the summer vacation only, leave your car behind and get a rental car instead.

Happy holidays.

I agree with this. You're better off just renting something if it's a short term stay.
