Where do I meet my driver at TLV?
At Terminal 3 (all international airlines), your driver waits in the arrivals hall — right where you exit baggage claim — holding a sign with your name. At Terminal 1 (low-cost carriers), the meeting point is the main terminal exit. Before you land you receive a WhatsApp message with your driver's name, phone number and car plate.
Good to know: when you pre-book, your driver is already inside the terminal as you land — scheduled to your actual arrival time, so you walk straight from baggage claim to the car.
What if my flight is delayed?
Nothing changes for you. We track your flight number in real time and schedule the driver by the actual landing time. Delays and early arrivals are on us — there is no waiting charge.
Why book Bazman Taxi instead of using an app?

- English-speaking driver, name-sign meeting at arrivals
- Free wait on delays — we track your flight
- Sedans, vans and minibuses for families and groups (up to 8 passengers)
- Pay by cash or international credit card; invoices available
- Terminal 3: meet in the arrivals hall with a name sign
- Terminal 1: meet at the main terminal exit
- Drop-off anywhere in Tel Aviv-Yafo: hotels, apartments, offices, the port
