Taxi from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem

The route
The standard drive follows Highway 1 east from Tel Aviv, climbing through the hills toward Jerusalem. With normal traffic the journey takes roughly 45–60 minutes door to door. Your driver chooses the best lane and timing; you sit back with your luggage in the boot.
Why take a taxi instead of public transport
The train between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem is fast, but it runs between two stations — you still need to reach the station on both ends. A taxi connects your exact address in Tel Aviv to your exact address in Jerusalem. That matters when you travel with luggage, with children, or to a part of the city far from the station.
Jerusalem for visitors
Many travellers combine Jerusalem with a visit to the Old City, the markets or the viewpoints of the surrounding hills. A private car gives you the freedom to plan your own day — see Private Taxi. If you want to continue south afterwards, the Dead Sea is a natural next stop. If you are looking for taxi service based in Jerusalem itself, our sister site Jerusalem Taxi — jerusalemtaxi.com — covers rides around the capital.
