You can also take a bus to the intersection where the main road turns off towards Yakum, 20 min out of Tel Aviv, after Herzalyia.. To get to this Yakum junction take bus 601 (13.5NIS).

If 14.5NIS One possible spot for this is from the Central (3 Euro"Merkaz"/"Savidor"/"Tzafon") train station, AKA Arlozorov Bus Terminal, there is only a tiny part small ramp leading to Ayalon Highway South-bound. Most of your daily budget the traffic is local, and you're not addicted traffic goes from here in 3 main direction: Ayalon South, Road 4 (Ashdod, South) and Road 1 to hitchhiking [[Jerusalem]] direction. On that ramp there is not really a good reason little used bus stop, and a place for cars to go hitchhike brake. They often do, even if it seems improbable at first. See exact location [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=Exits+Ayalon+Darom- as the bus from Tel Aviv is pretty cheap%E2%80%AB%D7%90%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9F+%D7%93%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%9D%E2%80%AC%E2%80%8E&geocode=FV6J6QEdZvcSAg&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=32.082236,34.797376&sspn=0.001239,0.001725&ie=UTF8&ll=32.082315,34.797419&spn=0.001239,0.001725&z=19 here].

If someone offers you a ride to === To [[Ben GurionNablus]] airport you can take it. At Terminal 3===Take bus 127 to the second but last stop, make sure walk on to have a sign highway 5, enjoy hitching in English with Jerusalem and hitch at the on-ramp since there won't be highway policemen. Be aware that Palestinians are sharing taxi stand (where people are getting in and out of normal cars as well). Terminal 1 is better since , sometimes you can simply take Route 40, just make sure to walk have to pay for the [[trempiyada]]ride.
[[Modi'in]] is a new city in between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, on route 443, and if someone offers a ride there you should definitely take it (stay on 443 though).{{Cities Israel}}

'''Tel Aviv''' is considered by many the capital of [[Israel]]'s economy and trade center, and serves as the center of the vast metropolitan area which is built all over central [[Israel]]. It is also where all most of the foreign embassies are located, since they do not recognise [[Jerusalem]] as the capital status of [[Israel]]Jerusalem is disputed.
There is almost no good hitchhike spot in Tel Aviv itself, and your best bet is always to take the bus to the suburbs and try there, which is a pain on Shabbath, since there the public transport is very limited and more expensive.
==Hitch out===== To [[Haifa]] and the North ===__TOC__Hitchhiking to [[Haifa]] and the North is not that bad at all. There are two good places to start, both accessible by buses leaving from the central bus station, or from the Arlozerov Terminal (Namir street).
To Haifa a direct ride is best, as sometime drivers get off the highway where there is no good hitchiking hitchhiking spot. However, ask the driver and he may know a petrol station on the main road where he can drop you off. To [[Afula]] and [[Tiberias]] you will need to get a ride which turns right in Ceaseria Junction to Road 65 - If the driver continues till Haifa then you will not be able to get off in that junction.
=== To [[Beer Sheva]], the Negev, [[Eilat]], [[Egypt]] and [[Aqaba]] ([[Jordan]]) ===
Another spot is Holtz junction, ten minutres walk from the central bus station - Go to the end of Levinsky street, where the bus station is, and turn south before the bridge over the highway, until you get to a street called Kibbutz Galuyot. Then go left under the bridge. There is a bus stop there that is a good spot for rides south and east in the direction of Jerusalem - if the driver is going all the way to the Jerusalem area, ask them to drop you off at Latroun interchange - under the interchange bridge is a possible (not very good) spot, or walk a little bit south along highway 3 (about 5 minutes), past the monastery, there is a bus station that is a much better spot. On-ramps to Road 20 (the Ayalon) that are north of LaGuardia (Halacha, Arozolov and HaShalom) are all safe and commonly used for hitchhiking. Standing with a sign is very helpful - "south" (דרום) would be the best sign to hold. Be aware of drivers using Road 6 may be exiting in an area where it is difficult to get a ride. Kiryat Gat is the only Road 6 exit with regular on/off traffic. It is not recommended to take a ride to Ashdod, as there is nowhere safe to drop riders who are heading south because the intersection is now an interchange that continues far away from the road south. Another destination to be aware of is Ashkelon or Sderot (Road 4) - you may wait a long time for a ride out and there are often hitching queues on Friday afternoon/evening. However, if 14.5NIS (3 Euro) is only a small part of your daily budget and you're not addicted to hitchhiking there is not really a good reason to go hitchhike - as the bus from Tel Aviv to [[Beer Sheva]] is pretty cheap, and from there you can continue south by thumb easily. Other two options for the adventurous from Tel Aviv: # The La Guardia on ramp south. Basically, anyone going South will take you to a better spot. It's not very safe though.
# Take bus 475 from Tel Aviv central bus station, and ask the driver for a ticket till "El-Al junction" (11.7 NIS). The bus will pass the "Airport offices", and the next station is where you should get off. From the bus station you just descended to, it is possible to hitchhike south towards Beer Sheva. You go south on Road 40#, don't take a ride which diverts from this road, and you will get to Beer Sheva. (The last few kms are considered road 406, so don't worry about it).
If you are heading southern towards the Negev, [[Eilat]] or [[Egypt]], then it's recommended to take a bus till "Goral Junction", 10 km north of Beer Sheva. Take any bus to [[Beer Sheva]], like line 370 from Arlozerov terminal, and ask the driver to go off in that junction. From there continue your journey on Road 40, and again do not divert from this road. If you don't find there any long-haul rides, ask the drivers to take you do "Hativat Ha-Negev" Junction, from which any ride south will be helpful. Road 40 continues approx. 200 km south, till you reach "Ketura" junction, where you change to road 90 that goes all the way south to Eilat, the Jordanian border crossing at Aqaba, and the Egyptian border crossing at Taba.
===To [[Jerusalem]]===Several optionsGo to the closest Road 20 (Ayalon) junction - preferably Keren Kayemet, none Rokach, Halacha, Hashalom or Kibbutz Galuyot. Use a sign (preferably in Hebrew: ירושלים). People will be going to Jerusalem anytime, so only take rides that can bring you the whole way. # HaShalom is usually very easy during daytime, but other junctions can work as well. # At Kibbutz Galuyot, stand at at 3780 st. junction (32°02'47.4"N 34°47'09.5"E) rather than the bus stop. # The La Guardia on-ramp is not very [[hitchhiker's safety|safe]], not a lot of them space for traffic to stop, but it's walkable from the center and of course, people ''do'' stop. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] used it twice and it didn't take longer than 10 minutes.# Arlozorov might be slower since traffic is heading in many different directions. # [[User:Guaka|guaka]] has had okay results with taking a local bus (Kavim 168 and some others) to the Tsomet Aluf Zede junction in Ramat Gan. [[User:Roaming Pencil|Roaming Pencil]] has done it several times from different junctions and would recommend never accepting partway rides or taking any road other than Road 1, if possible. There are great:always people heading to Jerusalem down this route.
