What does an airport taxi cost?

Taxis with meters are often much more expensive as they charge different fees, such as a higher pick-up fee at night, a price per kilometer, and possibly also a waiting charge. We offer taxi services at fixed prices starting from 37 euros per ride with no hidden fees.

Can I book a taxi when I arrive at the airport?

As at most international airports, individual airport taxis wait outside to take passengers to their destination. However, if you want to make sure you find a taxi right away, we recommend booking your airport taxi in advance. In most cases, you’ll get better prices if you do.

What if my flight or train is delayed?

We always carefully monitor flights and train schedules. If the announced delay is reasonable and doesn’t affect the driver’s schedule, they will wait for your flight or train to arrive. If you notice a significant delay, we will make the necessary arrangements to pick you up. For any questions, please feel free to contact us.
