Taxi from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv
Updated: July 2026
A Taxi from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv costs approximately ₪327–530 and takes about 60 minutes, per the official Ministry of Transport tariff; the actual fare is set by the meter.
A taxi from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv runs about 65 km down Highway 1 and takes roughly an hour, dropping from the hills to the Mediterranean coast. It is the evening-out route and the morning-meeting route both at once: dinner in the port, a show, a business appointment or simply a day at the beach, ending back home in Jerusalem whenever you are ready.
Bazman Taxi has carried Jerusalem residents and visitors down to the coast for more than 20 years, with hundreds of drivers and genuine availability at any hour, every day of the week. Hotel, guesthouse or a rented flat inside the Old City — the driver arrives at the agreed point on time, and the transparent estimate is set out before you travel so there is nothing to work out at the curb.

How much does a taxi from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv cost?
The trip is metered under the official Ministry of Transport tariff, with a daytime rate, a night rate and a weekend and holiday-night rate. The estimate for the 65 km descent is displayed in the table above for your time of travel, and the meter sets the final figure — no guesswork before you leave the house.
Since the fare is charged per vehicle, a group of friends heading out for the evening splits one estimate rather than paying separate seats. If your plans include the airport or another city later, the taxi fare calculator gives quick estimates for every leg.
When is the best time to head down to the coast?
The descent to Tel Aviv is usually smoother than the morning climb the other way, but the direction reverses at rush hour: weekday afternoons and early evenings can be busy leaving Jerusalem and again around the Tel Aviv interchanges. For a dinner reservation or a show, leaving a little early keeps the evening relaxed.
Late-night returns are where a booked driver really earns its place. When you are ready to head home after a night out, there is no scramble for a ride — you call, and a driver who knows the road back up to Jerusalem is on the way, whatever the hour.
Which Tel Aviv addresses do you serve?
All of them, door to door: the seafront hotels along the promenade, the bars and restaurants of the old port and the Namal, the galleries and lanes of Old Jaffa, and the business districts around the Azrieli towers and the Sarona area. Give us the exact address and the driver takes you to the entrance.
On the Jerusalem end we collect from any hotel or neighbourhood, from the city centre to the German Colony. If you are staying inside the Old City walls, where cars cannot enter, the driver meets you at an agreed gate — Jaffa Gate is the simplest — a short walk from most guesthouses.

Frequently asked questions
What does a taxi from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv cost?
The 65 km ride is metered under the official Ministry of Transport tariff, with day, night and weekend rates. You see the estimate for your travel time above before you book, and the meter fixes the final amount. Because the fare is per vehicle, a group sharing one car pays less each.
Can I book a late-night ride back to Jerusalem?
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons people book us. We work any hour, every day of the week, so after dinner or a show you simply call and a driver comes to your Tel Aviv location and drives you back up to Jerusalem. Late rides fall under the night or weekend tariff, shown in the estimate.
Do you pick up from inside the Old City of Jerusalem?
Vehicles cannot enter the Old City walls, so the driver meets you at an agreed gate, usually Jaffa Gate, which is a short walk from most guesthouses in the quarters. Every hotel and address in the modern city is collected directly from the door.
How long is the drive down to Tel Aviv?
About an hour for the 65 km on Highway 1. The descent is generally quicker than the morning climb, though weekday evenings leaving Jerusalem and traffic around the Tel Aviv interchanges can add a little time. We plan the pickup around your reservation or meeting.
Can you take us to Old Jaffa or the beach specifically?
Of course — Old Jaffa, the beach promenade, the old port and any hotel or restaurant address are all served door to door. Tell us where you are heading and the driver sets you down at the entrance, then you can book the return up to Jerusalem in the same call.
