Does anyone know how the find the best price on a hotel in Yerushalayim? I had prefered the Ramada but see that it is about $180 a night (expedia). Any idea’s?
Also, I see that a mid size car is about $150 a week. Seems like it has free miles as well. Can that be? I am used to US rates, is there a catch? Is there a reason to prefer one company over another? Any suggestions?

Therefore IMO it is not worth paying the extra to have an automatic, as the odds are you will be upgraded from stick to auto even though you have only reserved and paid for a stick!
Hotels: Have you considered Jerusalem gate?
May 2, 2012 7:58 am at 7:58 am #871744$180 for a hotel is VERY cheap, I believe.
Israeli hotels are about the most expensive in the world.

May 2, 2012 7:02 pm at 7:02 pm #871747HolyMoeParticipantI usually stay in Lev Yerushalayim.
Simple small lobby. (The mashgiach is a cousin to the Skverrer Rebbe and a Yrei Shamaim.)
Great location. Not expensive. Very pleasant.

Also, ask for a Shabbat discount. Not every place has it. Basically it means that you pay only for the insurance over Shabbat, but not for the car. If you do end up driving the car on Shabbat and get in an accident, the insurance doesn’t cover it. (Budget has a Shabbat discount.)
