Car rental and leasing are modern mobility solutions that have become an integral part of the Israeli landscape in recent years. For freelancers, business people, companies, and even private customers — the option of a fixed monthly payment instead of outright purchase offers flexibility, savings on unexpected expenses, and a complete solution for maintenance, insurance, and service. The Car Rental & Leasing category at Vanilla Market brings together the leading car rental and leasing companies in the country — from daily rentals for trips and tourists, through monthly rentals for temporary employees, to operational and private leasing for 3-5 year terms.
In this category, you will find rental and leasing solutions in a wide range of models and durations. Daily rental — the most common option, suitable for trips, events, airport transfers, situations where your regular car is in the garage, or temporary needs. Prices start from 100 NIS per day for an economy car and can reach 1,500 NIS per day for luxury vehicles. Short-term monthly rental (3-12 months) — for temporary employees, projects, or transition periods. A typical monthly price is 2,500-6,000 NIS for a family car, all-inclusive. Operational leasing — for companies, authorized dealers, and business people, for a period of 3-5 years, with a monthly payment that covers all expenses (maintenance, mandatory and comprehensive insurance, licensing, bodywork, spare parts). The advantage: a recognized expense for tax purposes, no initial capital, no worries. Private leasing — a relatively new option for private individuals, offering the same benefits as business leasing but without the tax aspects. Long Term Rental — an alternative to leasing with less commitment.
The first question to ask is when to rent and when to buy?…
Tips for choosing a professional
Compare at least 3 companies
Leasing and rental prices vary significantly between companies. A 30-minute comparison can save thousands of Shekels annually.
Read the full agreement
Pay special attention to mileage limits, deductibles, one-way return costs, and penalties for car modifications.
Calculate real mileage
Be realistic in estimating annual mileage. A package that's too small + expensive excess can be significantly more costly than a larger package pre-purchased.
Get comprehensive insurance
Upgrade to SCDW with zero or minimal deductible. A small daily difference, great peace of mind on every trip.
Inspect the vehicle before pickup
Take 360-degree photos before leaving. Mark any scratches/damage on the handover document. This prevents arguments upon return.
Utilize tax benefits in business leasing
45% of leasing is recognized as an expense and an additional 45% for the levy. Significant savings for businesses — talk to your accountant.

Frequently asked questions
When is rental more suitable, and when is leasing?
Rental: for trips, temporary needs (up to 6 months), short journeys. Leasing: for long-term (3-5 years), when you want a fixed monthly payment without worries, or for businesses needing tax benefits.
How much does monthly leasing cost?
Basic family car: 1,800-2,500 NIS per month. Luxury car: 3,500-7,000 NIS. Electric car: 2,200-4,500 NIS. Leasing includes everything — insurance, maintenance, licensing, replacement car.
What is the mileage limit in leasing?
Typically 15,000-30,000 km per year, depending on the agreement type. Exceeding: 0.25-0.80 NIS per additional km. If you drive a lot — take a larger package upfront.
Is private leasing worthwhile?
It is worthwhile if you want a fixed monthly payment, without a large down payment, without worrying about selling the car, and with the flexibility to change cars every 3 years. It is not worthwhile if you want to build an asset.
What is SCDW and why do you need it?
Super Collision Damage Waiver — insurance that reduces the deductible to a minimum. Costs 30-80 NIS additional per day. Worth it in a busy city or for any long journey.
Is it possible to lease without being an employee?
Yes! Private leasing is intended for freelancers, retirees, business people. Conditions: proof of income, clear BDI, and guarantors in some cases.
What happens if the car is stolen/totaled?
The leasing company's insurance handles everything. You only pay the deductible (sometimes zero with integrated SCDW leasing). You receive a replacement car within 24-48 hours.
