Taxi in Tel Aviv – getting around the city

Why order by phone or WhatsApp?

A phone call answers your questions immediately — availability, timing, route and price — before you commit to anything. A WhatsApp message works when you cannot talk or want the details in writing. Both options put you in direct contact with the people arranging your ride, which is exactly what you want before travelling to the airport or across the country.

What to tell us when you order

Keep it practical. Your pickup address (a street, a building, a hotel or a landmark), your destination, and when you want to travel. For groups, mention how many passengers and roughly how much luggage, so the right vehicle can be arranged. For airport trips, always add the flight number.

When a Tel Aviv taxi makes sense

• Evening and night travel, when public transport runs less frequently
• Trips with luggage, shopping or sports equipment
• Groups that need to stay together
• Getting to a meeting or appointment exactly on time
• A day along the beachfront Tayelet or an evening downtown — no parking worries, no waiting for the bus

Where we pick up

We arrange pickups across Tel Aviv — around Rothschild Boulevard and the White City, at the beachfront hotels along the Tayelet, by the Carmel Market, and through Neve Tzedek, Florentin, the Old North and Jaffa, plus nearby suburbs such as Herzliya and Ramat Gan. Longer routes from Tel Aviv, such as the airport, Jerusalem or the Dead Sea, are covered on their own pages: see Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to Dead Sea.

Public transport vs taxi

Buses and the light rail are great for budget travel, but they follow fixed lines and schedules. A taxi follows you. For a direct door-to-door trip — with the meter or an agreed fare — calling a taxi is usually the faster, simpler choice, especially with luggage or at night.
