I try to be a little humorous. 

So far I have found Tal Limousine, with a quote of ~$60.  (Anyone have experience with them?)

Sent them an email earlier for a recommendation

@moish, there are minivan taxis, but with a midnight arrival and possible creative pricing on bag fees (carryon=bag?) a firm rate of $60 is appealing, unless someone has good numbers on a taxi  . . . (or better yet a cell phone of a driver).

 Nesher goes only to Yeru, theres another company that goes to Haifa but None to TA

 a reg taxi is apx 130 fixed rate , 5 people will need 2 cabs or 260 sheks so $60 is cheaper

 btw the company that does Haifa is Hadar

 well if you dont arrange for a mini then youd ned 2 cabs thats why I used 2 since 1 wouldnt be enough, and 2 will be more then his quote for a minivan . It doesnt make a difference what tarif it is it will cost them more for 2 cabs then for the mini anyway. Since it seems they were looking to do it for as little as possible 2 cabs wont be that way

 Good night I have a 10am flight back to NY out of FCO in a number of hours

im saying that i think they have minivans in the taxi line, thus one would suffice

 OK back in NY boy do I Miss Florence!

 anyway the problem is what if there isnt any on the taxi line or if there is & its the 3rd car and you are the 8th in line, it used to be a sure thing to get a Benz now you have to be lucky and most likely will get some rinky dink instead, also not all cabs have teh roof racks any longer either. I only like the Benz since at 6'2" I need it in order to seat comfortably, for say a Plaza to Beit VeGan its not so bad but once the drive is more then 15 mins Im in trouble.

Even if they have them in line or can order one from the parking from you, he will charge you extra, for every suitcase, every extra person... I dont think it will be much cheaper then tal limousine. I have used them and they r very reliable. So why take chances, have a hassle, even if it might be extra 10 dollars

 BINGO  theres just too little in savings to roll the dice IMO and end up on the short end

 Had it been say $100+ that would be different. But for a couple of bucks, Id rather know that someone will be waiting for us and no nickel & diming it to a higher price
