Landing at Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) and need a taxi? Here is everything that matters: a pre-booked private taxi to Tel Aviv runs an estimated ₪123–200 and takes ~25 minutes; to Jerusalem about ₪270–410 and ~45 minutes. Pre-book with Bazman Taxi and an English-speaking driver waits at arrivals with your name sign, tracks your flight, and drives you door-to-door — with a transparent fare estimate before you fly (the final fare is set by the meter).
We are a local Israeli taxi company with 20+ years on this exact route — hundreds of drivers, dispatch that answers any hour of the day or night, vans for families and groups, and transparent pricing based on the official government tariff.
How do taxis work at Ben Gurion Airport?
The most reliable option is arranged before you even take off: a pre-booked private transfer like Bazman Taxi means an upfront fare estimate per the official tariff, a driver waiting inside arrivals with your name sign, and flight tracking — so a delayed landing never strands you. Ride-hailing apps are the alternative, with the price set only once you land.
With a pre-booked ride, your driver monitors the flight and meets you in the Terminal 3 arrivals hall holding a sign with your name (Terminal 1: at the main exit). You get the driver's name, phone and plate number by WhatsApp before landing.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv?
About ₪123–158 in the daytime and up to ₪200 on weekend nights, per the official tariff — estimates only; the meter sets the final fare. Pre-book with Bazman Taxi for a clear, all-inclusive estimate up front.
Are taxis available at Ben Gurion at night?
Yes — we cover overnight arrivals every night of the week. As a Shabbat-observant station we don't dispatch during Shabbat itself, but you can pre-book a ride for right before or right after it. Night rides use the legally higher night tariff, which your upfront estimate already reflects.
Where does my driver wait?
Terminal 3: in the arrivals hall right after baggage claim, holding a sign with your name. Terminal 1: at the main exit. Driver details arrive by WhatsApp before you land.
Can I pay with a foreign credit card?
Yes, we accept international Visa/Mastercard as well as cash. Business invoices are available.
Is Uber available in Israel?
Uber as known abroad does not operate in Israel — the app only books regular metered taxis. For a transparent upfront estimate and an English-speaking driver, a pre-booked transfer is the reliable option.
