Car Hire in Tel Aviv Center

Tel Aviv center offers 6 rental companies in the heart of Israel's vibrant metropolis, perfect for city driving and excursions along the Mediterranean coast. From the city, you reach the old city of Jaffa in 10 minutes, Jerusalem in 50 minutes, and Caesarea in 45 minutes. Tel Aviv is the starting point for exploring everything from the Negev Desert in the south to Galilee in the north.

Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 and is today Israel's economic and cultural center. The Bauhaus architecture of the White City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see. Ayalon Highway (highway 20) divides the city and provides quick connections south toward Ben Gurion Airport and north toward Herzliya.

Park in one of the large parking garages at Dizengoff Center or Azrieli Towers – street parking is hard to find in the center. Drive south along Kvish HaChof (the coastal road) for a scenic drive past Bat Yam and Jaffa. Avoid driving in Tel Aviv on Friday afternoon and Saturday evening when traffic is heavy around Shabbat.
