Car rentals out of Nazareth?

Anyone know of any car rental company that lets you pick up in Nazareth and drop off there also (or else drop off in Tiberias)? Done quite a bit of googling, but closest pick up I can find is Tiberias.

Thanks
Elizabeth

I can't help you on your car rental question, but consider taking the bus from Tiberias to Nazareth (or Haifa to Nazareth). I'll decipher the bus times if you're interested - it isn't Egged and the web site is only in Hebrew.

I am at work now and all my bus timetable web sites are bookmarked on my home computer, so you'll have to wait a few hours (for my help, that is, not for the bus ;) - they are frequent!

Great, thanks! I had checked Egged and on Sundays I could leave Nazareth at 6.40am and get to Tiberias by 8.02am (by connecting at Ha-Movil Junction), which gets me there nice and early to pick up a car and go touring for a couple of days, but am definitely interested in knowing about alternatives.

It's not so bad going back from Tiberias, as my ultimate destination is Tel Aviv, and there are regular Egged buses from Tiberias to Tel Aviv on Monday afternoon/evening.

Already posted answer to your other question before I saw this.

OK, just be aware that Hamovil junction is literally just a road junction slap bang in the middle of nowhere. It's the junction of roads 77 and 79. It's normal practice in Israel to change buses at junctions. To be sure of not missing your stop (although the web site tells you what time you should reach the junction), sit on the right-hand side of the bus and watch for traffic signs. When you see a big sign HAMOVIL JUNCTION 500 (meters), ring the bell.

The bus stop, at every junction in the country, is always after the traffic lights in the direction of travel. So when you get to Hamovil you will most likely need to cross the road to get your connecting bus. Look for the traffic signs in the direction you want to travel, meaning the sign pointing to Tiberias. You'll find the bus stop a very short distance after the traffic lights.

One thing occurs to me. When are you planning on being in Israel? The reason I ask is that we are heading for a whole bunch of Jewish religious holidays. This year most of them fall on Shabbat so there is no additional disruption. But the second day of Rosh Hashana (New Year) is Sunday September 20, which is like Saturday as far as (no) transport is concerned. Yup, two consecutive days. Also Yom Kippur is on Monday September 28, when nothing moves at all, including taxis, from about 2 p.m. on the Sept 27 until about 7 p.m. on Sept 28. Arab areas not affected of course, but nothing will be open in any Jewish areas on that day.

Thanks also for this - it's very helpful information. Although maybe I will use the bus company in your other post to avoid any problems with making the Hamovil junction connection on Egged.

I'm leaving Israel before the holidays you mention - was very careful to make sure that I wasn't there for those. It's taken me weeks to sort out the West Bank part of my trip and, now that I have the time and energy to think about the northern part of the trip, I'm discovering (as you can see) that the Sabbath shut-down is creating a new layer of travel complications, so thank goodness I am not there for the other holidays as well!
