Rent a Car for a Young Driver
Every driver, even one who has been driving for more than thirty years, probably still remembers the day they took their driving tests. On one hand, it is an exciting new chapter in life. Adult and independent. On the other hand, it is a great responsibility to be a driver. Responsibility both for oneself and for those traveling with them in the car, and for other road users.
This responsibility applies regardless of which car the new driver chooses: own vehicle, a car from friends and family, or a car from a car rental company.
Car Insurance for a New Driver
When a new driver decides to rent a car, they should be aware of a number of conditions that apply to them at rental companies. But before these details are listed, the term "new driver" itself should be explained. According to the laws of the Ministry of Transport, a new driver is considered someone who has obtained their driver's license less than two years ago.
The reason why a new driver has restrictions when renting is that they inherently have less experience than someone who has been driving for several years. It is assumed that the risk of entrusting a car to a person who has recently obtained their driver's license is higher than the risk of entrusting the car to an experienced driver. Therefore, there is an additional fee for insurance for beginners.
Typically, a driver who is not over 21 years old and has been driving for a year cannot rent a car. If a new driver is over 21 years old, there should be no problems with renting.
If your driver's license is not yet two years old, please call 052-3414669 for reservations and information.
It is important to know that insurance premiums are an additional fee to the rental price. The rental price itself does not depend on driving experience and is solely based on the type of vehicle.
Also consider that an additional fee is incurred if the daily kilometer limit of 220 km is exceeded. Another point that the new driver should note is that they must present a credit card with a limit of at least 5,000 shekels before completing the transaction.
It should be considered that the listed rental conditions can sometimes change. Therefore, it is better to contact the support service by calling 052-3414669 before making a decision to learn about all the special conditions and surcharges that apply to the new driver.
In conclusion, we would like to say: A new driver can rent a car effortlessly but must pay extra for insurance.
Car rental has never been easier! Safe driving and a safe journey!
