One more question (OT) as it is not related to Route 1 & 90.
Want to visit some religious sites in Galilee. Begin early morning from Jerusalem, and end the day in TLV (return rental car). Can this be done in 1 day?
Thanks in advance.
I wanted to add one more view. From an Israeli perspective, driving 150 kilometers in a day is something almost unheard of. The culture simply isn't geared that way, and a trip like that would certainly entail at least a break or two to eat something.
I work outside of NYC, and drive about 110 kilometers each way to work when I am in the office. Holiday might see me drive 300 to 400 km in a day.
My point being that it is very doable in the context of time, excluding the stops you might want to make on the way. The roads are well marked and the gas stations are aplenty.
Going North South is the Route 6 toll road. A bit expensive, but very convenient. Be careful of the charges. Rental companies bill by the month - calendar month. A rental from August 1 to August 27 will invoke a charge of about $15 for the month to initiate, then per use. A rental from August 27 to September 2 will invoke 2 months billing plus extras. And most curious of all, the bill will not arrive for 4 to 6 months.
