During the holiday period, many people are expected to fly abroad, some of whom plan to rent a car and travel.


Hundreds of thousands of Israelis are expected to fly abroad during the holiday season, and many of them plan to travel by car throughout Europe, the USA and other destinations around the world.

The car rental market has undergone significant changes in recent years and many travelers are unaware of the changes, which correct behavior can save them a great deal of money.

Let's start with the happy fact: the prices in September are much more favorable than in August.

Prices have dropped by about 30%-40% and according to estimates, they are expected to drop even more during the month of October.

The reason for this is the end of the tourist season around the world - the most popular season is the summer months of July and August, which are behind us, and the departure of Israelis abroad during the Tishrei holidays does not correspond to a popular period in other countries, so you can see a decrease in car rental prices as well, and of course also in hotel prices.

You should look for a rental car long before the trip.

However, it is recommended to rent the vehicles as early as possible.

The car dealerships in Europe and the USA are still suffering from a severe shortage of cars, and this is due to the lack of chips and other equipment that is causing significant delays in the pace of car production in the world. In conversations with senior officials in the car industry, they say that it is possible that we will also receive older cars next year, especially in the smaller car dealerships , whose purchasing power is less strong, so they are mainly the ones who will receive the new vehicles late.

A very important tip that you should take into account before ordering the car is to check the availability of the type of car you want to rent.

In many agencies, the large vehicles run out quickly and it is recommended to reserve them as far in advance as possible.

In some places you will no longer find large vehicles for the holidays, but if you intend to fly in Sukkot - it is recommended to go in and check now.

The car rental industry estimates that the lack of cars will continue next year, so it is recommended to order cars as early as possible and not wait until the last minute.

If you book a car in advance, it is recommended to do so with a cancellation option with a full refund, so that even if you decide to cancel the trip - you can get your money back.
