Google it. doesnt seem like a terrible car (i think its from the makers of toyota)

They have close business ties with Toyota (Toyota distributes some Daihatsu cars and owns 51% of Daihatsu), but they're a separate company. I don't think their brand/quality can be compared to Toyota.

Probably similar to a Getz, although it has more leg room because the seats are higher.

You do realize there is $10 per day LI insurance, and if you don't have MCW, there will be mandatory Collision insurance as well

I rather pay some $2-$3 more per day and rent by avis.

The only ones that didn't give me headaches with scratches that were there before.(Also often upgrades, even before my status with them).

If you need a car by avis, you can pm me.

I second using SuperFlyer! Although the 1xx Hayarkon office is being remodeled and the office is a converted van and they gave me an incredibly shady feeling that I would be charged for every scratch, there were no problems using Avis. 

It also made me feel a little better to walk around the car with the agent, take multiple pictures (what else are 16gb memory cards for) and add scratches and dents to his pre-damage list.

You should try Avis Israel Car Rental instead. Check these rates - http://www.avis.co.il/avis/site/local/avis/english/IsraelRentals.jsp

I am planning to have a trip to Israel for my family somewhere between June and July. I would like to get a car rental service that would arrange a tour for us once we arrived. We will be staying there for two weeks. Can anyone give me recommendations or advice?

http://www.carrentalisrael.com/car-rentals.asp? looks like they lowered their rates.  Still not as cheap as when I used them last year for 28NIS though.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No, insurance is extra.
Still pretty good. What did it come out to after Insurance?
These days the best I get is $20per Including LI minus tax

They still respect Avis First/Pres Club/CHM members but they just give them minor upgrades as well as allow them to pick up the car (but not drop off) at the terminal.

Dan, does a Presidents club need to alert Avis beforehand that you need a car at the terminal or just go to the Avis desk in the terminal?
I like the mazda 3 group D, if I reserve a group c what are the odds to get an upgrade at least to group d (before purim)?
