The key decision in a Jerusalem taxi is how the fare will be set. The older guidance warns about fixed-price offers and unnecessarily long routes, and specifically advises asking for the meter, called the mon-eh. Make that request before the ride starts, especially when you are unfamiliar with the route. Agreeing on the destination first also makes the journey clearer for both you and the driver.
Useful to know
Ask for the meter, or mon-eh, before the taxi starts moving.
Tell the driver your destination before departure so the intended route is clear.
