The car hire agency offices are located in the East Gallery on the first level of Terminal 3. The counters operate 24 hours a day, making it possible to complete the necessary procedures regardless of arrival time. Once the rental agreement has been completed, passengers should proceed to the designated parking area for vehicle collection, generally with the assistance of the airport's internal shuttle services if the pick-up location is situated in remote areas.

Requirements for Hiring a Vehicle
To hire a car in Israel, travellers must meet a number of standard and region-specific requirements:
- Driving licence: An original and valid driving licence must be presented. If the licence is not written in Latin characters (English), an International Driving Permit (IDP) must also be provided.
- Identification: A valid passport with the country's entry stamp (or the B2 entry card issued by immigration authorities).
- Credit card: An international credit card in the name of the main driver is required for the security deposit. Debit or prepaid cards are generally not accepted for this purpose.
- Minimum age: Usually 21 years old, although this may vary depending on the vehicle category. Drivers under the age of 25 are generally subject to an additional "young driver" surcharge.
- Insurance: In Israel, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection (TP) are generally compulsory unless the customer can provide proof of specific cover accepted by the rental company.
