I'm going to be staying in Israel for the next 6 months, and I would like to be able to get around. I have a valid US driver's license, which is considered valid in Israel as well.

The problem however, is not with the license, but with the car. I don't own a car here, and I don't plan on buying one for only 6 months of use, so I decided that the best solution would be to rent/lease it.

The problem though, is that I am under 21. In the US, it is almost impossible to find a rental company that will rent a car to anyone under 21 (sometimes 25).

Is that any different in Israel? Are there any car rental/leasing companies (anywhere in Israel) that will rent to someone under 21? Does Israeli law even allow it?

It's not any different in Israel. It will be hard for you to find a rental company that will rent to a driver under 21. I'm not sure it is at all possible.

But, fortunately you're going to Israel, not the US. Take a bus.

    To expand on littleadv: In the US it is almost impossible to go anywhere without using a car. In Israel it is easy and cheap.

  • Just for the sake of comparison, the entire area of Israel is smaller than Vermont.

    @JonathanReez Only without the Occupied Territories, correct?

  • @AndrewLazarus if you include the West Bank they're about the same
