526 shekels for a trip from Tel Aviv to Ben Gurion Airport: The new option to reach the airport

Gett is expanding its areas of operation: starting this morning (Tuesday), it is possible to book large transport vehicles via the app nationwide at a pre-determined price. With this move, the company seeks to reposition itself not just as a taxi company, but as a comprehensive transportation platform offering a wide range of mobility solutions.

In the first stage, users can order large vehicles directly from the app, including vans, minivans, minibuses, and buses. Bookings must be made at least 12 hours in advance, and the final price of the trip, calculated based on distance, duration, and stop points, is presented to the user before confirmation. The updated Gett app interface now displays all available transport options on a single main screen.

The service is operated in collaboration with the Rideeazy platform from Electra Afikim, which brings together dozens of transport providers across the country. Under this model, booking and payment are handled through Gett, while the transport companies provide the actual service.

To provide an indication of costs ahead of the launch, Gett has shared example prices for popular routes:

• A trip from Tel Aviv to Ben Gurion Airport in a 13-seat vehicle costs 526 shekels.

• A trip from Jerusalem to Ben Gurion Airport in a 19-seat vehicle costs 764 shekels.

• A trip from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in a bus of up to 55 seats costs 1,675 shekels.

The company emphasizes that these are illustrative prices that vary depending on the route, day, and time of booking. They include a launch coupon of 100 shekels available during the initial period. However, Gett notes that prices are expected to remain competitive even after the launch period, aiming to be approximately 10% lower than standard market rates while maintaining high service standards.

This expansion comes as Gett maintains its dominant position in the local taxi market. The company, which moved the industry away from traditional taxi stands to an algorithmic, app-based system, has brought significant advantages in convenience and transparency. Despite attempts by international and local players to enter the Israeli market, no competitor has managed to challenge Gett’s status or overtake its volume of activity, bolstered by strategic assets like its exclusive tender for operations at Ben Gurion Airport.

"The company will continue to expand the range of options and maintain a simple and reliable user experience," says Gett CEO Mark Oun. "This is just the beginning of the road, and in the coming months, the company will continue to expand the platform with additional transport solutions."
