Updated: July 2026
A Taxi from Tel Aviv to the Allenby Bridge costs approximately ₪461–745 and takes about 80 minutes, per the official Ministry of Transport tariff; the actual fare is set by the meter.
A taxi from Tel Aviv to the Allenby Bridge — the King Hussein crossing to Jordan — runs about 94 km and takes roughly 80 minutes, dropping from the coast toward the Jordan Valley near Jericho. Travellers heading to Amman or Petra want one thing above all from the ride there: to arrive early and unhurried, with a comfortable margin before the crossing. Bazman Taxi provides a direct, pre-booked transfer with a driver who knows the route.
We are a station with a 20-year reputation and hundreds of drivers, available at any hour, which matters when an onward journey into Jordan means starting the day early. The driver collects you from any Tel Aviv address at the agreed time and drives straight to the terminal, so the Israeli side of your travel day is settled well before you reach the border.

How much is a taxi from Tel Aviv to the Allenby Bridge?
The transfer is metered under the official Ministry of Transport tariff, with daytime, night and weekend rates. The estimate for the 94 km route and your travel time is shown in the table above, and the meter sets the final fare. Early-morning starts, common for this crossing, may fall under the night rate depending on the hour.
The estimate is per vehicle, so a couple or a group of up to 8 in a van shares one price for the drive to the border. You can check the figures ahead of time on the taxi fare calculator.
How much buffer should we leave for the border?
The single most important piece of advice for the Allenby crossing is to allow generous time. Border formalities and onward transport on the Jordanian side are outside our control and can vary, so the sensible approach is to arrive with plenty of margin rather than aim to be exactly on time. We recommend checking the current opening hours and any requirements directly with the official border authorities before your trip.
What we can promise is the part we control: a driver who arrives on time at your Tel Aviv address and drives directly to the terminal in about 80 minutes, so you reach the crossing early and relaxed. Booking the pickup for an early departure is the norm, and the dispatcher will help you set a time that builds in a comfortable cushion.
Can you carry a group with luggage to the crossing?
Yes — this is often a trip with full suitcases for a multi-day journey on to Petra or Amman, so luggage space matters. A sedan handles up to 4 passengers with cases, and a van or minibus takes up to 8 with room for everyone and their bags.
Travelling as a group also makes the private transfer economical, since the estimate covers the whole vehicle. Everyone leaves from one pickup point together and arrives at the terminal together, which is far simpler than coordinating separate rides at an early hour.
Why book a private transfer to the Allenby crossing?
For a border day, the ride to the terminal should be the most predictable part — a set pickup, a direct route and a driver who has done it before.

Frequently asked questions
What does a taxi to the Allenby Bridge cost?
The 94 km route is metered under the official Ministry of Transport tariff, with day, night and weekend rates. The estimate for your travel time is shown above, and the meter sets the final fare. Early-morning starts may fall under the night rate. The price is per vehicle, so groups share it.
How early should I leave for the crossing?
Leave generous time. The drive itself is about 80 minutes, but border processing and onward transport in Jordan are outside our control and can vary, so aim to arrive with a comfortable margin. Check the current opening hours and requirements with the official border authorities, and we will set an early pickup to match.
Do you know the border opening hours and fees?
Those are set by the border authorities and can change, so we do not quote them — please confirm the current hours, closures and any fees directly with the official crossing before you travel. What we handle is a punctual, direct transfer to the terminal so you arrive early and unhurried.
Can you take a group with suitcases to Jordan?
Yes. Since many travellers are continuing to Petra or Amman for several days, luggage space is planned for: a sedan for up to 4 with cases, or a van for up to 8. It is booked as one vehicle at an estimate agreed in advance, and everyone travels together.
Will a driver be available for a very early start?
Yes — we work any hour, every day of the week, and early departures for this crossing are routine. The pickup is scheduled and reconfirmed in advance, so a driver is assigned to your name and address for the early hour, and you are not trying to arrange a ride at dawn.
