Jerusalem Taxi Service on Shabbat — What You Need to Know

This is the question we get most from tourists: can I get a taxi in Jerusalem on Saturday?

Mehadrin Taxi is a Shabbat-observant company and does not operate from Friday sunset to Saturday night. Here's what this means practically:

📅 Shabbat Operating Hours Mehadrin Taxi operates Sunday to Friday, 24 hours a day. We do not operate on Saturday or Jewish holidays. For Friday rides, book early — we need to complete journeys before Shabbat begins. For Saturday night, service resumes approximately 1 hour after sunset.

If you need a taxi specifically on Shabbat, the airport taxi stand (Gett) operates on Saturdays. Alternatively, ask your hotel concierge — most Jerusalem hotels have arrangements with non-observant taxi services for Shabbat guests.


Taxi Service Across All Jerusalem Neighborhoods

Mehadrin Taxi covers every corner of Jerusalem — from the busiest city center streets to the quietest residential neighborhoods. There is no extra charge for pickup from any Jerusalem neighborhood.

Areas we serve include: Ramot, Gilo, Katamon, Har Homa, Malha, Baka, Givat Shaul, Mea Shearim, Geula, Musrara, Pisgat Ze'ev, Neve Yaakov, Ir Ganim, Talpiot, Arnona, Rehavia, Kiryat Moshe, Beit HaKerem, Ein Kerem, Har Nof, the Old City, German Colony, French Hill and all surrounding areas.

Tips for Tourists Using Taxi Services in Jerusalem

Always agree on a price before you get in

For metered street taxis in Jerusalem, drivers are legally required to use the meter for city rides. However, for intercity or airport rides, a fixed fare is standard. With Mehadrin Taxi, your price is confirmed before you book — no negotiation needed.

Avoid hailing random taxis for airport runs

Street taxis hailed for airport transfers often charge the full metered rate plus surcharges — typically 300–350 ILS. Pre-booking with Mehadrin Taxi at 250 ILS fixed saves you money and guarantees the ride is there when you need it.

Tipping is not expected in Israel

Unlike in the US, tipping taxi drivers is not customary in Israel. Prices are set to reflect the full service. That said, rounding up for exceptional service is always appreciated.

As of 2026 — no more luggage or passenger surcharges

Israeli taxi law updated in 2026 — the old surcharges for extra luggage and multiple passengers are no longer valid for metered taxis. With Mehadrin Taxi's fixed prices, there were never any surprise surcharges to begin with.

Use WhatsApp — it works perfectly in Israel

Israel has near-universal WhatsApp adoption. Booking your Jerusalem taxi service via WhatsApp is often faster than a phone call. Simply message +972-533-991-680 with your pickup details.
