6:30 AM- Pick up from your location in Jerusalem
8:00 AM- Arrival at the Israeli terminal of King Hussein/Allenby Bridge. The terminal opens at 8:00 AM, when you can enter and pay the exit tax.
9:00 AM- Board the standard Border Service Shuttle Bus (first shuttle leaves at 09:00 am) which crosses the 5Km of no man’s land between the terminals.
9:15 AM- Arrive at the Jordanian terminal and complete security checks, immigration and customs
9:45 AM- Meet your Jordanian driver at the terminal and depart from the border to Amman.
10:45 AM- Arrive at your chosen destination in Amman.
Please note, this is only an example and times can vary according to various factors (e.g. how busy the border crossing is, security procedures, etc.)
VIP SERVICE
The VIP Service is a provision run by the staff at the borders to enable faster crossing. The service includes “VIP” waiting rooms, assistance with immigration, security and luggage, plus a private van shuttle between the terminals. Usually clients go to the front of any queues. The VIP service can save lots of frustration and speeds up the crossing considerably (especially when the border is busy) and allows it to be done more comfortably. Please note, the VIP service doesn’t mean you get less checks, and you may still have to wait if the authorities want to ask you any questions.
FEES
There are different fees that you have to expect when crossing the borders, e.g. for transport between the Border Terminals (standard shuttle/ VIP Service), taxes or visas. Please note that these fees are NOT included in the price for the transfer.
PICK-UP / DROP-OFF AT AMMAN AIRPORT A collection from, or drop-off at Queen Alia International Airport close to Amman, is possible. An additional fee of $50 for a car, and $75 for a van would be added.
OTHER PICK-UP / DROP-OFF LOCATIONS We can pick you up from, and drop you off at basically any location in Jordan or Israel/Palestine. If you’d like to choose a route that differs from the ones offered here, please contact us about a custom transfer!
CROSSING AT JORDAN RIVER CROSSING/ SHEIKH HUSSEIN BRIDGE It is possible to take a different border crossing than Allenby/ King Hussein Bridge. For transfers between Amman and Tel Aviv, we usually recommend the Jordan River/ Sheikh Hussein Crossing in the North. At this border crossing, it is possible to obtain a visa upon arrival. Another advantage can be that it is often less busy than Allenby/ King Hussein Bridge. However, changing the route northwards will add some time on the road, and thus some extra costs ($150 for a car, $200 for a van).
