Every route into Jerusalem, one reliable ride
Jerusalem sits in the Judean Hills, and most visitors reach it by one of a few arteries: Highway 1 climbing east from Tel Aviv and the coastal plain, the same road up from Ben Gurion Airport, or Route 443 as an alternative. Almaxpress Taxi covers them all with private transfers from anywhere in Israel, whether you're coming from a Tel Aviv seafront hotel, landing internationally, or traveling up from Haifa or the south. Rather than juggling a train transfer and a light-rail leg, you get one clean car from your door to a specific Jerusalem address, with a driver who knows the hill routes, the hotel loading zones, and where vehicles can and cannot go near the Old City walls.
Airport transfers built around your flight
For arrivals at Ben Gurion, the difference between a smooth start and a stressful one is timing. We track your flight, so if you land early or sit on the tarmac, your pickup shifts with reality instead of a fixed clock. After baggage claim your driver is waiting in the arrivals hall, helps with luggage, and takes the roughly 54 km, 50-minute run up Highway 1 to your Jerusalem hotel or neighborhood. Departing travelers get the reverse: a punctual pickup calculated backward from your check-in time, with the hill descent and airport-approach traffic factored in so you reach the terminal with margin to spare, not minutes to lose.

What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the ride (business days); between 24 and 6 hours a partial cancellation fee may apply; less than 6 hours or no-show — full charge. Cancel in writing via WhatsApp or email.
Do you have a vehicle for a large group?
Yes — large taxi (6 seats), 10-seat van and 19-seat minibus, luggage included. Book the vehicle on the group-transfers page or in the calculator and the price is confirmed within minutes.
How long does the drive from Ben Gurion Airport to Jerusalem take?
The airport sits about 54 km from Jerusalem, typically about 50 minutes via Highway 1. Times stretch during Sunday-morning and Thursday-evening peaks or when Route 1's ascent into the hills is congested. Because we track your flight, your driver adjusts pickup to your real landing time, not the schedule.
Where exactly will the driver meet me?
It's door-to-door. At Ben Gurion we meet you in the arrivals hall after baggage claim; from a Tel Aviv hotel or home, we collect you at the entrance. In Jerusalem we drop you directly at your hotel lobby, an Old City gate (Jaffa or Damascus, as vehicle access allows), or your neighborhood address.
Can you reach cars into the Old City?
The Old City's walled quarters are largely pedestrian, so vehicles stop at the nearest gate, most often Jaffa Gate for the Christian and Armenian Quarters or Damascus Gate for the Muslim Quarter. We advise the closest drop point for your destination and help with luggage to the gate.
Do you drive on Shabbat?
We operate 24 hours a day, Sunday–Friday, including night rides. There is no service on Shabbat and Jewish holidays; Saturday-night rides are by advance booking, departing after Shabbat ends.
How much does a taxi to Jerusalem cost?
Book your taxi to Jerusalem now — instant price in the calculator, per the official meter tariff (pickup point, destination neighborhood and vehicle size all feed into it). For a large vehicle, book a large taxi (6 seats), a 10-seat van or a 19-seat minibus — the price is confirmed within minutes. WhatsApp also works.
Can you handle a group with lots of luggage?
Yes. Book a large taxi (6 seats), a 10-seat van or a 19-seat minibus — the price is confirmed within minutes. All have room for suitcases, ideal for families, tour groups or pilgrimage parties heading to Old City guesthouses or hotels. Tell us your group size and bag count when booking so we assign the right vehicle rather than squeezing into a private car.
