Ramallah - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of car do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car do you advise not to bring?
Roads are narrow in town and parking is at a premium everywhere. Smaller is better. You don't need a 4WD really anywhere in or around Ramallah. A VW Golf is a common car and it's easy to get repaired anywhere in Palestine or Israel. Duty on any vehicle imported is nearly 100% so cars are generally expensive. Driving is a challenge and fender-benders are common. - Dec 2013
