Pros:
staff unfriendly and charged CDW which was not booked because covered by credit cardCons:
They charged CDW and told that it is compulsory even if covered by credit card, while the reservation explicitly said that CDW not compulsiory, if covered by credit card. -> Dishonest6,0 Good
May 2020
Cons:
Cofusing pricing of insurance led to me paying more than expected. All charges should be clear on internet order and not left tilll pick up when it is too late to go to a cheaper option5,6 Okay

Pros:
Refund of a day when we brought the car one day earlier.Cons:
The site. By ordering you can not find the extra cost. You hear it when you collect the car. Hou reserved a small car and get a bigger one. Instead of 1 : 20 you get a car who drives 1 : 12.Hertz

Mar 2017
Cons:
An hour after we got the car, I noticed snuck on the glass of the windshield. I didn't want to notify Hertz because surely they would blame us. We hoped they wouldn't notice upon return. Well, they did, and of course didn't believe we didn't do it. We have CDW from our credit card company, but going home, so have to pay up front of new windshield and do time consuming claim with Chase Bank. Big nuisance, and not our fault. Our downfall was not thoroughly inspecting the windshield at time of rental.4,0 Okay

Apr 2021
Pros:
Fairly easy pickup.Cons:
They're operating a bait and switch. They lure you in with a low rental cost, then charge you 1.5X more in mandatory insurance than the car costs. I expect they make far more money on the insurance than on the rental fee.8,4 Excellent

Taking the deposit in full and having to wait days for it to be returned is a massive pain and the rental agent has the power to decide how much to return with you unable to discuss it with them. No feedback on the return of deposit8,0 Excellent

Cons:
I ordered a Mitsubishi Grandis. They gave me a smaller car, no air conditioning in the back seats, in the summer, without telling me this ahead of time. When I realized it, I informed them, but they said it was after the 3 hour window from the time I took the car, so was charged for 1 day.3,6 Mediocre
Apr 2019
Pros:
Unhelpful staff, disorganized and rude.Cons:
Car wasnt ready, rental process was too long and tedious, couldnt rent for 24 hrs as normal, because office was closed next day for elections. Understand that is a holiday, but they need to make accommodations and plan ahead for this instead of telling customers they need to return the car in 5 hrs.Sunnycars

When to book a car hire in Jerusalem
Top tips for hiring a car in Jerusalem
- A hire car is the best and most comfortable way to freely explore not only Jerusalem, but also other major destinations in Israel, as tours can get quite pricey. A car is especially useful if you want to drive along the western Mediterranean coast and make scenic stops as you please. Drive to the fortress of Masada, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as to the Dead Sea, which will take you less than two hours to reach from Jerusalem.
- Most of the major car hire companies, including Avis and Sixt, can be found at Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), which is located about 50 minutes from Jerusalem. All the car hire desks can be found on the first floor of the Arrivals Hall at the airport’s main terminal. It is recommended that you get an International Driver’s Permit alongside your domestic driver’s license. Make sure to request an English-speaking GPS.
- Driving in downtown Jerusalem can be quite challenging due to the narrow, busy streets, so if you’re not comfortable, just park your car somewhere and explore the center by foot. Only residents can drive in the Old City. Driving on the outskirts of the city is far easier, and most of Israel’s highway signs are expressed in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. If you any need help, remember that most Israelis speak good English.
- Avoid driving during rush hour, which is 7-10 a.m. and 3:30-6:30 p.m. Fridays experience less traffic as most official establishments are closed. Route 1 is the main road heading towards the Mediterranean coast, with Tel Aviv to the west and the Dead Sea to the east, and it tends to be pretty crowded during peak season and on weekends. When heading to east Jerusalem, take Route 443 instead, which is less congested.
- Book your car hire in Jerusalem at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
