The cheapest option is to go by bus. Buses run regularly with 15-30 min interval (it depends on the time of the day).
An Important notice - buses run also in Shabbat (we've tested).
One ticket price is 4.20 NIS (shekels). You can buy this ticket from the bus driver (in cash) or in vending machines/ticket office at the airport (located near the tourist information desk). And in the vending machines and office you can pay for the tickets with payment cards / cash.
You can buy one-way ticket, but if you are going to stay for a week, you can think about buying a Rav Kav card. Rav Kav card offers possibility to store money on it and use it as you need. Another Rav Kav card option is possibility to buy time tickets, for example for 6 days. More about Eilat public transport you can read in this article.
