Gett
Israel’s native ride-hailing app for licensed taxis (its UK operations are being acquired by Lyft).
What Gett is
Gett is a ride-hailing app that began in Israel, where it is widely used to order licensed taxis, and it also operates corporate-focused ground transport in markets such as the UK. Travelers use it to hail vetted local taxis through one app rather than flagging cars on the street.
What it does for travelers
- ✓Orders licensed local taxis and cars through the app
- ✓Upfront or metered fares depending on the market
- ✓In-app payment and the ability to pay cash with taxi drivers in some markets
- ✓Live tracking of your assigned vehicle
- ✓Strong corporate and business-travel ground-transport offering
Good to know
- Most established in Israel; elsewhere its footprint is narrower and often business-oriented
- The app is free to download; you pay per ride at local taxi or quoted rates
- An account with a phone number is required, and a payment method may be needed
- Because it dispatches licensed taxis, fares follow local taxi pricing where that applies
Tips from the road
- In Israel, Gett is a reliable way to get a metered, licensed taxi without haggling on the street
- Confirm whether your fare is metered or fixed before the trip so there are no surprises
- Keep some cash handy, as cash payment to the driver is accepted in some markets
- Check coverage for your specific destination, since availability varies a lot outside its core market
