Do I need to tip a taxi driver?
We do our best to make your journey as safe, comfortable and fast as possible.
Does our offer meet your expectations, or even overwhelming them? Do you want to show your driver that
he/she made your ride as enjoyable as possible - you are welcome to tip.
Easiest way to tip is just round up the sum or do not ask for a change and pay the driver with a note that
exceeds the cost of the ride.
Have you paid online and still want to compliment your driver, but you do not have cash?
This situation is quite common in our time of credit cards. No Problem! You can make us very happy by
leaving your feedback and we will make sure your driver will get it.
How much does an airport taxi cost?
Taxis with a taximeter are most of the time much more expensive as they charge
different costs like a pick-up fare that’s more expensive at night, a price per kilometer and probably
also a waiting fare. We offer taxi services at fixed prices starting from 49 euro per trip with no hidden
fees!
Can I book a taxi on arrival at the airport?
Our airport transfer service is based on pre-booked transfers, so if you prefer
to travel with an Airport taxi at the fixed low cost fee we recommend you to book your transfer in advance
on our website.
If you unexpectedly have no one to pick you up - book your transfer right before boarding or even from the
plane - we will do our best to fulfill your request.
There are also traditional taxis at the airport waiting outside. They can bring you to your destination but
there will be no advantage of a low cost fee.
What if my flight or train is delayed?
Airport taxis keep an eye on the flight and train arriving timetables to make
sure our driver will be on time to pick you up. If your flight or train has a delay do not worry. If the
expected time of delay does not interfere with the driver's schedule he will wait for you at the airport
or train station with no extra cost added.
If your flight or train has a significant delay we will make necessary arrangements and pick you up on time!
Our driver will be in touch with you to spare your worries. No extra cost added as well.
