Taxi

In Eilat, finding taxis is generally easy, especially around popular tourist areas and hotels. Taxis are metered, but it’s advisable to ensure the meter is running or agree on a fare before starting your journey. Another alternative is the local ride-hailing app Gett, which is widely used in Eilat. It's worth noting that taxi fares can be higher at night and on Shabbat, so planning your transportation in advance can help avoid surprises.
