Chase cdw covers cars and vans up to 8 seat only, so you would want to take the full renters coverage

- what's the procedure in case of accident? Has anyone used chase ink for CDW and filed claim with them?

- how is the quality of compact cars? (for long distance drive to Eilat)

- I see low rates on Expedia: $9 a day for Hyundai I10 or Opel Corsa. Midsize is $16-17. Is there a catch?

- Is it true that all car rental companies charge an airport tax of $27?



I found some other useful info:

Is there a master thread for car rental questions/issues in Israel?
 
Questions that I have:

- how is the quality of compact cars? (for long distance ride to Eilat)

- should I buy/rent quality GPS nav or use phone instead?

- what's the procedure in case of accident? Has anyone used chase ink for CDW and filed claim with them?

- I see low rates on Expedia: $9 a day for Hyundai I10 or Opel Corsa. Midsize is $16-17. Is there a catch?

- Is there a good reason to use Israeli rental company instead of budget or hertz?

- Is it true that all car rental companies charge an airport tax of $27?

The cars are fine but some of the smaller ones dont have the greatest engines due to the size and their clientele. They will have no issue driving the 4 hrs down south. Phone is 100% fine.  The rates online are not including around $13 mandatory insurance and possible other charges, rather use an agent, the smallest car should be around $25 after everything.  All companies are more or less the same, use whichever you get cheapest. I believe so,That fee is the one way/airport fee, but its a one time charge and not per day.

is it worth using one the agents that advertise all over or booking online direct from the company ?

Agents are (usually) not more expensive than direct and are more convenient.
