Intercity taxi in Israel, door to door
Updated
From your door to the entrance at the other end, whether that is a hotel in Jerusalem, a guesthouse on a kibbutz or an apartment in Eilat.
You can take a private taxi between any two places in Israel, from a city flat in Tel Aviv to a moshav in the Galilee. Bazman Taxi drives door to door, with a fixed price agreed before the ride, for one passenger or a family with luggage. Send the pickup, the destination, the date and how many of you are travelling on WhatsApp, or use the booking form. We drive 24 hours a day from Sunday to Friday, and keep Shabbat and the Jewish holidays.

How the price of a long ride is set
We set the price before you leave, from the pickup point, the destination, the day and time, and the vehicle you need. It holds as long as the route, the stops and the waiting stay as agreed. A stop added on the way, or a long wait at the destination, changes the price, so put them in the booking from the start.
Road 6 and the Carmel Tunnels charge tolls, and a taxi uses them at the passenger’s request. When we give you the fixed price, we tell you whether it includes a toll, and you can ask for a route without toll roads. For a range of what the same trip would cost on the meter, try the meter fare calculator, which uses the official Ministry of Transport tariff.
What to send on WhatsApp
One message with these details lets dispatch choose the vehicle and give you the fixed price. The booking form at the bottom of this page asks for the same.
- Both addresses in full
The street and number for the pickup, and the hotel, building or street at the other end. For a kibbutz, a moshav or a small village, add how to reach the house.
- The date and the time
The time you want to leave, or the time you need to arrive, and we plan the pickup around it.
- Who is travelling and what you carry
The number of passengers, large suitcases and trolley bags. Note a stroller, sports gear or a folding wheelchair, and the children’s ages if you need child seats.
- Stops on the way
Collecting a friend in another town, a viewpoint or a break for food all go into the booking in advance.
- A flight number, if you start at the airport
The driver follows the landing and calls or messages you to agree where to meet.
Which vehicle comes
Dispatch matches the vehicle by phone, from the passengers and the luggage you list. On a long ride the suitcases often decide more than the head count.
- Standard taxi
For a regular trip with light luggage.
- Estate taxi
A bigger boot for suitcases and a stroller on a long drive.
- Large taxi
For a big family or friends travelling together. See the large taxi page.
- Minibus or coach
With a driver, for a group, a tour or an event in another city.

Questions and answers
Can you drive between any two places in Israel?
Yes. The booking form lists more than 1,240 Israeli localities, from the big cities to kibbutzim and moshavim, and you can pick any two. If your place is not in the list, write to us on WhatsApp.
Can we stop on the way, for example at Masada?
Yes. Add the stop and how long you want there when you book, and the fixed price we agree covers it. Coming from Jerusalem, Masada is about 94 km away by Road 1 and Road 90, and the driver drops you on the east side, by the visitor centre and the cable car.
Can you collect us at Ben Gurion and drive straight to another city?
Yes. Send the flight number with the destination. The driver follows the landing and contacts you by phone or WhatsApp to agree where to meet.
Can we go and come back on the same day?
Yes. Book both rides together and give an estimated time for the return. If the driver should wait for you at the destination, say so, because waiting changes the price. On a Friday the ride back has to end before Shabbat begins.
Do you drive between cities on Shabbat?
No. The station keeps Shabbat and the Jewish holidays. We drive 24 hours a day from Sunday to Friday until Shabbat begins, and again once it ends on Saturday night.
