Transportation options:

Taxis

Local and inter-city taxi services are available to and from any point in the country. Fares within the cities are according to the meter. The fares for inter-city taxi services are standard fares set by the Ministry of Transport. It is recommended to verify the fare prior to entering the taxi. Taxis can be ordered by telephone from a local taxi station or stopped on the street.

There is a standard starting fare for taxis. There are also additional charges for telephone orders and for each suitcase (which is not a handbag). Night rates, Saturdays and holidays are 25% more expensive than the normal fare. There is also additional fee for an airport drive.

You may also download any of the Taxis' phone applications to book a cab wherever you are. The most popular apps are Gett and Rider.

Service Taxis

Service taxis, called "Moniyot Sherut" in Hebrew, run along the main roads of Tel Aviv and throughout the country. Moniyot Sherut are in essence minivans that operate as shared taxis; they are generally yellow, with numbers on the windshield indicating their route, and they can transport about 10-12 people at a time.

Pricewise, “Moniyot Sherut” fares are a set price and similar to bus fares. They usually reach their destination faster and tend to be less crowded. Moniyot Sherut operate both on inter and intra-city routes and can be easily accessed from right outside Tel Aviv Central Bus Station.

By simply raising your hand, you can flag down a Monit Sherut and ask the driver to drop you off at any point along the route. You can hand the driver your fare as you get on the taxi, or you can take your seat and pass your money down to the driver. Not to worry-your change will be passed back to you. Note that while Moniyot Sherut operate on Shabbat (Friday night and Saturday), fares will increase by a few shekels.
