Rainbows north of Tel Aviv

One is a full 180 degrees. The second is just a partial.

Quick....make a wish!

Who checks if the gas cap is there when renting a car?

I didn't!

I always check for dents, scrapes, hub caps, spare tire, jack and damage to interior upholstery. Never for a gas cap....but I will from now on!

Another hint: all Israeli rental cars have an anti-theft device - an internal keypad for an ID code. Without it the engine will crank but not start. I rented from Budget and neither the gal siging me out or the guy at the garage told me about the code. I drove about 45 minutes north of Tel Aviv and parked. When I tried to start it, it didn't. I called local service and was told about the code which was written on the key fob.

The second weekend I rented from Eldan. It's an Israeli company which I understand is the largest car rental company in Israel. Both the gal signing me out and the guy at the parking lot told me about the code.

Everything about Eldan was first rate!

Message: rent from Eldan, not Budget!
