If you are a tourist or come from another country for work, then add a language barrier and a lot of rules and regulations that you will encounter and get a rather big fine. In the article, ORMAX offers an overview of paid and free parking in Tel Aviv, as well as deciphering road signs and tips for finding a great place. For complete confidence, use the Car service with a driver in Tel Aviv or book a transfer from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv and back.

Roadside parking

Roadside parking available throughout the city, as indicated by road signs. The signs indicate (in Hebrew) the time when you can park your car and who can use it.

The parking roadsides divided into different zones and can be distinguished by their color.

• No color – parking opened according to the established signs.
  Red and white stripes – ambulance areas and parking is prohibited.
• Red and gray stripes – parking for a limited period, according to the rules described on the signs.
• Blue and white stripes – free parking. If you are borrowing a car from a Tel Aviv resident, there must be a sticker on their car that allows free parking in those areas.

If you rent a car, then paid parking is allowed Sun-Thu: from 9:00 to 17:00, Fri and holidays: from 9:00 to 13:00. Parking is prohibited at any other time.

Be careful! In some of the zones, parking for foreigners is not allowed, so we suggest renting a car with a driver in Tel Aviv.
