Israelis and tourists may need to rent a vehicle in Israel from a quality, reliable and
efficient company. The Tamir Group rental company provides a variety of
advanced solutions, including rental of a vehicle for 7 or 8 persons. There’s a
significant difference between the categories of vehicles for 7 places or 8
places beyond the additional seat. These differences define the different
prices, levels of comfort, leg room, and trunk space for suitcases and
equipment.
Whether you're traveling comfortably
around Israel, enjoying the perfect holiday, or making longer trips with the
family, it’s important to rental a suitable vehicle. For a family of 3 to 5
people, a family car with 5 places may be suitable. Larger families or families
wanting a greater level of comfort, fuel savings and larger trunk should check
with us about renting a vehicle with 7 seats or 8 seats. The more spacious,
fuel saving, comfortable and safe a vehicle is, the smoother and more pleasant
your journeys will be while maintaining savings on fuel costs, an important
element for vehicles meant to take you on trips. Fuel cost savings let you
enjoy worry free longer journeys.
Renting a 7 seat or 8 seat vehicle: what level of driver’s license is needed?
Certain
limitations exist on the transporting this number of passengers. When you rent
a 7 seat or 8 seat vehicle, it’s important to check several points with the car
rental company:
- What level of driver’s license is needed?
- Is any special type of driver’s license necessary?
- What are the limitations regarding a ‘new driver’?
- Are there limitations relating to number of years as a driver?
The
Israel Ministry of Transport states that a Class B driver’s license entitles
the driver to transport up to 8 passengers excluding the driver even if the van
is towing a trailer of up to 1,500 kg. However, in the category for 7 seat
vehicles, some vehicles have commercial engines or are work vehicles and
require a Class C1 driver’s license.
Car
rental companies offer multiple solutions suited to client needs, including:
rental of 8 seat and 7 seat vehicles. Some vehicles require a Class D license.
We recommend consulting with the rental company’s representative who can
recommend the ideal vehicle for your overall needs, including taking into
account the following:
- Quality and nature of client’s driving capabilities
- Limitations of the law regarding driver age
- Matching a vehicle optimally as far as size and number of passengers or family members
- Fuel consumption savings
- Spaciousness and comfort
- Size of trunk
- Preferred accessories
It’s
worth noting that most of the car rental companies in Israel have fairly
uniform policies concerning car rental conditions:
1. Minimum age for renting a
car is 24 years old
2. A young driver is allowed
to drive the rental car if she or he is at least 21 years old and purchases
appropriate damage coverage
3.Only a driver with a valid
license and at least 2 years of experience can drive a rented vehicle, as long
as that driver was present when the vehicle was collected and her or his name
is listed on the agreement
The differences between 8 seat and 7 seat family vehicles
When
planning a journey or vacation in Israel, or simply want to arrive comfortably
at an event, family affair or visit friends, but the number of persons needing
to get there is more than 5, a family car from categories D, E, F, G or H are
inappropriate. No car rental company in Israel will agree to more than 5 people
in a family vehicle because that is the provision of the law and is stated on
the vehicle license. The only other option is to choose a vehicle with 7 places
o 8 places. The relevant vehicle categories are: J, K, M and P. V3.Only a driver with a valid license and at least 2 years of experience can drive a rented vehicle, as long as that driver was present when the vehicle was collected and her or his name is listed on the agreement
- It is important to note that the different letters delineating vehicle categories may alter from one company to another. Make sure you check this when planning to book a rental car for amonth, day, week or longer period.
A
regular family car comfortably carries 4 or 5 people including the driver. If
you're planning a camping outing to the Sea of Galilee, or some other location,
and need a large trunk to comfortably carry your equipment as well as
comfortable seating space, consider renting a vehicle with 7 seats or 8 seats.
To legally travel with more than 5 individuals in the car, choose from a wide
range of models which are more appropriate to your needs.
