Sherut Taxi Service
Shared taxis, called Sheruts, are available from the airport to all destinations in Israel. Sheruts are about half the price of a private taxi, so they're a good deal, especially if you're going to a distant area such as Haifa or Jerusalem. Keep in mind that you may have to wait a while, since the taxi only leaves the airport when it is full.

 

Fridays and Saturdays: “Amal” Taxi Company operates service taxis from Ben Gurion Airport also on Friday and Saturday. It should cost around  120 NIS per person (a shared taxi for 10 passengers).
