TLV --> Jerusalem: Lavi Express

Has anyone heard of or used Lavi Express between TLV and Jerusalem?

Any thoughts on the service?

Heard of it because someone posted about it on Trip Advisor. There is a huge discussion going on--including input from a LAVI rep.

I am also interested in knowing about experiences with this transfer company as I will need a transfer from Jerusalem to the airport later in the year at an awkward time.

I have read the tripadvisor debate but no one there has tried the company.
Two useful facts are mentioned there : They do not yet transfer from the airport to Jerusalem and they stop working from 3 hours before shabbat till 2 hours after.

What I'm specifically trying to find, and perhaps I should have clarified earlier, is specifically to input from Lavi Express employees, because I read through most of the thread but I couldn't seem to find it, unless I missed it or that it wasn't clear that they were employees?

Thanks!

Does Uber work at TLV or are they forbidden to pick up from there?

Unfortunately, it seems that they too are forbidden

Well something seems off.

After repeated attempted contact with Lavi Express via email and phone, we got to: the phone does go to Lavi Express but to an external call service who does not know much about Lavi Express.

Via email, we were told that the service (either TLV - Jerusalem or Jerusalem - TLV) isn't a service they offer (not that they're not "yet" operating, but that this isn't a service of their's.

I knew it sounded too good to be true.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a pre-ordered taxi from TLV to Jerusalem for a decent price?
Can you pre-order Daka99?

Thank you for reporting this.
Can't help with the question about preordered taxis but as I will need transport from Jerusalem to TLV in the middle of the night soon, I am interested in the responses you'll get.

I called Daka99 (called the Tel Aviv number).
They said to just call the moment my family lands. Price quote was 200 shek for 3 people + 3 pieces of luggage (Nesher would have been 192) to center of Jerusalem. This is for middle of the day.

I'll report tomorrow with experience (that my father reports to me).

Regarding Jerusalem - TLV, I know there's Daka99, potentially starting at 160 shek.
Check taxis99.co.il
