At the southern tip of Israel, Eilat is a vibrant resort city known for its breathtaking coral reefs, sandy beaches, and a backdrop of desert landscapes. Whether you're here to dive into the Red Sea or to embark on desert adventures, having a car at your disposal amplifies the experience.

Benefits of Hiring a Car in Eilat:

  1. Tailored Travels: Explore Eilat and its environs according to your schedule. No need to adjust to public transport timings or tour groups.
  2. Versatility: From the beaches to the rugged mountains, choose a vehicle that suits every terrain and occasion.
  3. Comfort: The desert climate can get hot. Enjoy the luxury of an air-conditioned car to stay cool.

Important Driving Insights for Eilat:

  • Tolls: Most of the roads around Eilat are toll-free. However, always have some change handy, and check with your car hire provider for any electronic toll arrangements.

  • Road Conditions: Main roads, like Route 90, are well-maintained. Still, if you're planning desert excursions, be prepared for off-road conditions.

  • Traffic: Eilat is a popular tourist destination, especially in peak seasons. Traffic can get busy, especially near the beaches and city center.

  • Weather Considerations: Eilat boasts a desert climate. While any car will serve well, consider opting for a vehicle with a strong air conditioner. For desert adventures, an SUV is recommended.

Recommended Eilat Attractions and Distances:

  1. Coral Beach Nature Reserve: Just a 10-minute drive south of the city, this is a paradise for snorkelers and divers.

  3. Eilat Mountains: A mere 15-minute drive, these mountains offer hiking trails with panoramic views of the Red Sea and surrounding desert.

Why Booking Early is Key:

  • Demand Surges in Peak Seasons: Eilat's allure draws tourists, especially during holidays and summer. Ensure availability by booking in advance.
