KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Eilat
- The populous Eilat city with a beautiful coastline has multiple sites and activities suitable for business and tourism. Having the right service from Eilat car rentals ensures you can enjoy your stay. You can drive to the nearby Timna Valley Park, sitting around 18.2 miles from the town, to appreciate some history, such as King Solomon's sandstone formation, and see some of the oldest copper mines in the world. If you enjoy sports and entertainment, car rentals in Eilat allow you to take a short drive to the Eilat Tze'elim Sports Center on Yahel Street.
- The Eilat Ramon International Airport consists of a Rental Car Center where you can find car rentals in Eilat with services from multiple companies, such as Hertz, Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, and Avis. You can find a guide to the parking lot to select your car from the rental desks stationed in the Arrival Hall. Europcar, Avis, Sixt, and Budget have pick-up services near the Terminal, allowing you to reach them conveniently upon arrival. You can also walk to the Sixt provider by heading south from the airport.
- This town has two major roads, including Highway 90, one of the longest Israeli roads linking the city to Israel's center, and Highway 12, which starts as an urban boulevard within Eilat. You can install a navigation program in your car rental to move within and outside the city efficiently. Despite that, be watchful of signs and signals because sometimes you may find an out-of-order traffic signal, but the road signs featured at the junction offer the rules to follow. Additionally, stay alert about speeding drivers because the locals can be impatient and are always in a rush.
- The relatively quiet Eilat has bearable traffic conditions within the city. The major routes, such as Highway 12, can have a lot of traffic coming in from Jerusalem via Highway 40, so you want to avoid delay risks by starting your journey either before or after rush hour, usually from around 4pm. It is also essential to note that the city and the rest of Israel require all vehicles to have their headlights on interurban roads during wintertime, starting from November 1st to March 31st.
- Book your rental car in Eilat at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Eilat are around 40% cheaper than other car types, on average
