The problem is they go with a flag on top showing they are part of a company,till now people knew if someone is part of a company he could pull him over knowing he is not an Arab (all the companies here will never take an Arab)

I'm sorry, but that is utter and complete horse-💩. I've been in Israel for over seven years now, and even before my times, there were plenty of companies with flags and everything that had Arab drivers. The "Jewish" companies like Bar Ilan and Ramot Alon don't have Arab drivers, but dozens of other companies do. Plus you have plenty of independent drivers (both Jews and Arabs) who do not want to pay the fees required to join a company, but put little flags on their roof or little signs on their windshield that look similar to those of major companies, to fool people into feeling comfortable flagging them down.

Lately what I am doing is, if I see the name is an Arab I cancel on the spot and I still have the option to leave feedback,I give a 1 star,eventually they will all fly out of the company I have heard from drivers that others are doing it too (especially from har nof).

A driver told me that if a driver gets down to 4.3 stars it's game over. :)

(A driver can not see who is giving him feedback)

Somehow, that doesn't seem very wise to me. Win the battle, lose the war...

I use this app all the time...
I'm not sure why the OP says you get 20 shek referral credit. You get 30 - both the refferer and the reffered.

Here's my refferal code ( you just enter it in the app under "coupon code" ) - GTISAAC21 or http://invite.gettaxi.co.il/code/GTISAAC21

You can add the code even before taking your first ride - your balance will show up under "My Profile"

(Note: in order to use your balance you will have to add a valid cc/dc to your profile)

What's the issue? There's a nice handful of Jews that live there and I've been there plenty of times myself.

Yes, that's it. They recently changed their official name to Gett.

Not necessarily shomer shabbos. It could technically be that the driver made a financial decision to not work with gett taxi on shabbos

It could be, but this is what a get taxi driver told me. Only Jewish Shomer shabbos drivers. No Arabs.

+1
A 'Gett' driver told me that Arab drivers are not given the option to join "Get Mehadrin"

Anyone ever have any issue with someone not using the mone when you requested it during pickup?  Is the company good about dealing with complaints?
