Rare PatriciaF Posted September 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2019 My travel agent assured me if we booked our own airfare, Viking would pick us up at the Tel Aviv Airport--which is true if you are flying in the same day as scheduled, but not before. Any suggestions for a transfer? Our flight doesn't land until 1100 PM or so. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to book in advance or arrange a private transfer - you can simply take a taxi (ask for fixed price, not meter) as the airport taxis are regulated and very reliable. Fare calculator here: http://www.iaa.gov.il/en-US/airports/bengurion/Pages/TaxiFareCalculator.aspx You can also checked out a shared ride through Nesher Shuttle (although I would still recommend the taxi as there have been reports of rude Nesher drivers).

All of our taxi drivers in Israel accepted our visa cc but I would recommend checking before you enter the taxi. Israel is absolutely amazing - we spent 3 weeks and are planning another visit. Enjoy!

dogs4fun Posted September 3, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I neglected to mention - we had downloaded the GetTaxi app (https://gett.com/il/). When using this app you can definitely pay via credit card (we used the app for taxis all over Israel) and you will always be assured of a properly licensed professional . So, not sure if the taxi ranks at the airport can/will accept credit cards but you can always stop at one of the ATMs in the airport & get some shekels to cover your initial taxi ride.

Definitely use the GETT app -- the prices are fixed and regulated WAY better than negotiating with cab drivers on the spot, especially for an expensive run into Jerusalem.
