The road
Highway 6 (the toll road, included in our price) or the coastal Highway 2 north; into Haifa along the bay or up through the Carmel tunnels (tolls included). Our drivers pick the faster road for the time of day.
Worth stopping
- Caesarea is a 10-minute detour from Highway 2 — the Roman harbour is worth a short stop on a daytime transfer (entrance ticket not included).
Good to know
- Israel Railways connects the airport with Haifa without the car, but not on Shabbat; Haifa is one of the few cities where some local buses do run on Saturday.
- For Akko, Nahariya or the Galilee, ask for a quote — we price them from this route plus the extra distance.
