Cost from airport to Tel Aviv's center?

Question

I was offered an airport to hotel transfer reservation for $60 US each way.

I will be staying at a hotel in the center of the city (near the main strip of tourist hotels). Is it cheaper to just grab a taxi from the airport, or is it cheaper to go with the pre-arranged transfer?

Any other suggestions for hotel transfers?

Answer 1

60$ is a fortune, dont be ripped off

take a taxi, lots of them found at the terminal where you land (ternminal 3), there are readily available,24/7 you dont have to book them, they cost a fraction to what you where offered.its amazing (not only in israel, all over the world) how tourists get ripped off.taxis have a set price to the hotels and one does not tip the taxi drivers in israel.

another option is for you to take a bus

or a train

have a nice stay

but if i was you i would stick to the taxi

Answer 2

actually, around 60 dollars, 200 nis, is a little bit higher than the official price which is 131 nis + extras for suitcases.
