How we rated each service

We evaluate each transfer platform across five criteria: pricing transparency, driver quality, booking experience, cancellation flexibility, and coverage in Tel Aviv. Our ratings reflect real booking experiences and user feedback, not paid placements. All four services are affiliate partners — we earn a commission when you book, but this doesn't influence our rankings.

Our verdict

The train to Tel Aviv is fast and cheap (₪13.50, 15 min) but doesn't run during Shabbat. During Shabbat, pre-booked transfers are essential — taxis charge 25% more. GetTransfer is cheapest; Welcome Pickups is best for reliability.
