Question 1

What red flags should I watch for with transportation vendors?

Accepted Answer

Old or poorly maintained vehicles, no business license, no insurance documentation, vague pricing, no backup vehicle plan, and drivers unfamiliar with the route to your venue.

Question 2

How do I coordinate transportation timing with my event schedule?

Accepted Answer

Work backward from the ceremony time: allow 30–45 minutes buffer for travel, 15 minutes for loading, and account for traffic. Share the exact timeline with your driver and a designated coordinator.

Question 3

What are the traffic considerations for events in Israel?

Accepted Answer

Rush hour in central Israel (7–9 AM, 4–7 PM) can double travel times. Thursday evening events face heavy pre-Shabbat traffic. Route planning and early departures are essential. Use Waze for real-time navigation.

Question 4

Should I arrange transportation for the morning-after brunch?

Accepted Answer

If you’re hosting a day-after event, providing shuttle service from the hotel to the brunch location is a nice touch that simplifies logistics for tired guests.

Question 5

What is the etiquette for guest transportation at Israeli events?

Accepted Answer

Providing transportation is generous but not obligatory. If you arrange it, include details on the invitation or event website. For destination venues, it’s considered courteous to offer shuttle service.
