Stay on the road and you'll be fine.
Don't walk into Silwan unless you're on a tour or live there.

I personally have been avoiding the 90 but the 6 had tons of traffic yesterday

I don't feel comfortable driving through the west bank with all the riots they have been having

Was there any riots on the 90? I've been driving the 90 towards Tveryah so many times with no problems, not sure of the current situation but I would definitely avoid Route 60 though

you usually get charged a one-time 50 shekel processing fee, plus whatever the regular tolls are  (it usually says the processing fee on your contract)

(you could theoretically register your car with kvish 6 and pay the toll and unregister after you retur the car, but probably not worth the hassle)

[philbenjoe]

[SamKey]

Sixt charges a one time fee of $12

[moish]

i took the 90 no problem last week, but i generally prefer the 6. straighter and faster

[Emkay]

Sixt charges a one time fee of $12

im using sixt now, the contract says 14.95. Is that per time? Onetime extra added fee? Or covers every time I use the 6?
