Taxi

Taxi

Taxis are widely available in Jerusalem, and they are usually white with a yellow sign on the roof. They run on meters, but it's a good idea to agree on a price beforehand to avoid any issues. It's also common to tip the driver a small amount, around 10% of the fare. You can hail them on the street, call their phone number, or ask your hotel reception. There is a small additional fare if you call by phone, and the tariff is higher at night (9pm–5:30am), on Friday afternoons and Saturdays, and on holiday eves. Make sure the taxi driver turns on the meter when you get in. For trips outside of town, you might want to negotiate a fare with the driver instead of using the meter. Ridesharing apps such as Uber (only with licensed cab drivers) and Gett operate in Jerusalem, and they can be a convenient and reliable option for transportation.
