Two days ago my father and I were returning from a trip to Jordan and we had to get to Tel Aviv airport from Amman. So we take a taxi for 35JD (~47USD) on a two hour journey twisting through the Jordan river valley to the Jordan River border crossing in the north. So we cross into Israel and need to catch a taxi to Ben Gurion. We find only one French Israeli advertising a taxi as we exit immigration. We ask him how much to the airport. "580 Shekels," he says. My jaw dropped. Thats 187USD. We asked around for other taxis and the staff at the border crossing said he's the only one and the drive would be 3-4 hours. So we take the ridiculous fare. As we exit, we see other taxis not even 300 yards out that probably would've given us a better fare. We got to the airport in a little under 2 hours. Now, I know prices in Israel are high compared to the U.S., but I still think we got ripped off with this one. Can any Israeli or otherwise confirm?
