this is always a convenient, timely, safe, and courteous ride. only once did we try to take a regular cab to get to the airport in manhattan, and boy was it a disaster. from then on we've always called to arrange a tel aviv cab ahead of time and they are amazingly always on time both to pick up and to get you there - traffic or no traffic. the drivers are much more normal/relaxed/capable than the regular new york cabbies, at least in terms of avoiding near death experiences, and the cars are clean and comfortable when you're stressed about the traveling itself (i always am).
