The taxi companies at Ben Gurion Airport operate under supervision of the Israel Airports Authority and their rates are regulated.They may offer you a fixed rate or a metered rate; the fixed rates are also regulated and depending on exact locations and traffic conditions, are at many times better the metered rate. The Taxi Stations and dispatcher's counter at Terminal 3 are located on Level G of the Multi Level Road.
Another option is to take a train from the airport (Ben Gurion Airport Station) to the Tel-Aviv station nearest to the hotel (Tel-Aviv Centre – Savidor Station). This route runs all day long at different intervals (see the Israeli Railways English website - http://www.rail.co.il/EN/Pages/HomePage.aspx for an up-to-date timetable). The train station is located on Level S (the lowest floor), which is reached after exiting the Greeter’s Hall. Tickets may be purchased at the automatic machines located on Level G. A ticket costs 15 NIS (around $4). The journey takes 13 minutes. From the Tel-Aviv train station the hotel can be reached by taxis that are available outside the train station and would cost around 30 NIS (around $8).
