Menashe Sofer (Frum Service): A few NIS more than Nesher.
Hasaah: 450 ₪ for huge van (just did with 2 parents, 3 kids, 10 bags) Shouldn't be more than 350 (If need a guy, you can PM moish)

Bus:

1. Take Egged 947 / 950 from Central Bus Station to Tzomet El-Al.  Busses run Approximately every 20-30 min. from 6 AM to 10 PM. Takes ~40 min. Price: 25 ₪.

Train רכבת:

Starting from September 2018 there is a direct train line between the airport and Jerusalem's central bus station which is at the main entrance to the city.
Train runs every half hour and cost 17 shekel per ride. I think there is a discount if you buy round trip.

To get to the train: Leave the terminal through exit 01 and it is directly on your right. You can buy a ticket from the automatic machines outside the station entrance.
Please note that the train only runs during the day and not at night. Check the Israeli rail  website in advance if you are not sure.

Walk: 0 NIS Takes about 13 hous and 47 minutes give or take a few depending where you start.

That's expensive. Except if he specifically wants a fancy car.
Or needs that amount of space.. Wiki has a "huge van" listed for NIS450 (current conversion = $117).

Any recommendations for:
2 Adults, 4 kids.  6 luggage (most are empty), 1 (small) stroller.
Jerusalem to TLV

Has anyone used daka 99 lately.  Called for ride to airport at 2 am.  Said couln't give reservation but to call 20 minutes before and would get me a taxi.  Never had this issue before.  On way home called them after i got bags and requested a taxi.  They just said they would call back and hung up.  They never called back.  Used derech eretz both ways instead.  200 sh. Each way.  Anyone else encounter this problem recently with daka. 99. Never had an issue with them in the psst.

They charged you ₪250 for 2 people? Should be 65-70 a person. You got private van?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

They overcharged you. Can get a private taxi for that. A nesher costs 65 shek per person.

That's for private. You dont pay that for nesher. And I would be embarrassed if Ib paid 320 for a cab. You shouldn't pay more than 200 and can get as low as 150.

Best is rent a nesher for 350-400. That isn't the cheapest though.

How about from Tel aviv (beach area) to Jerusalem, and vice versa?
