Why Split Up When You Can Ride Together?

One of the biggest challenges in organizing a family trip abroad, a friends' trip to Eilat, or transport to an event is logistics. An average private car fits 5 people (tightly), with little room for luggage. The old solution was booking two regular taxis or driving two cars. The result? Double costs, complicated coordination, and splitting the social experience.

The modern, smart solution is booking a Large Taxi (Van / Maxicab).

What is a Large Taxi and Who is it For?

A large taxi is a Van or Minibus authorized to carry more than 4 passengers. The most popular luxury models, used by Almaxpress, are the Mercedes V-Class and Volkswagen Multivan.

Perfect for:

Large Families: Parents + 4 kids + stroller + 4 huge suitcases? Impossible in a regular taxi. Standard in a large taxi.
Groups of Friends: Rides to bachelor parties, concerts, or festivals.
Business Delegations: Picking up a team from the airport to the office or hotel.
Event Transport: Ferrying grandparents comfortably to a wedding or Bar Mitzvah.

Economic & Experiential Benefits

1. Significant Savings

It sounds surprising, as a "Large Taxi" is seen as a luxury product. But do the math: the cost of a large taxi for 6 people is significantly lower than two regular taxis. When splitting per head, it's often the most cost-effective option after the bus.

2. Space & Comfort

Our large vehicles offer high ceilings, spacious seats, and huge legroom. Plus, the massive trunk holds what no private car can – 10 large suitcases, ski gear, bicycles (boxed), and more.

3. The Social Experience

The trip starts with the drive. In a large taxi, especially V-Class models with conference seating (face-to-face), everyone sits together, talks, laughs, and plans the vacation. It's a much more bonding and fun experience.

What Vehicles Does Almaxpress Have?

Our fleet is diverse:

Mini-Van (up to 6 passengers): Perfect for families. Kia Carnival or Toyota Sienna.
Luxury Van (up to 7 passengers): Mercedes V-Class, the flagship of luxury. Leather seats, wood finish, first-class feeling.
Jumpy/Transporter (up to 10 passengers): Robust, large vehicles for workers or larger groups with lots of gear.

Booking a Large Taxi to Ben Gurion

The most common use is airport transfers. Important to remember:

Book Ahead! Large taxis are limited compared to regular ones. In summer, book a week in advance.
Detail Your Gear: "6 people" is important, but "6 people with 10 suitcases and a surfboard" is critical for matching the vehicle.

Tours & Fun Days with a Private Driver

Another popular service is renting a van for a full day. Winery tour in the North? Christian sites in Galilee? Dead Sea fun day? An Almaxpress driver picks you up in the morning, escorts you to all sites (guarding gear in the car), and brings you home tired but happy.

In summary, next time you plan a group trip, don't struggle with creative solutions. Book a Large Taxi from Almaxpress and enjoy every moment of the road.
