Standard taxi in Berlin

Finding a taxi in Berlin

Berlin taxicabs are easy to spot on the street, as they are all beige, very often Mercedes Benz, with a visible TAXI sign on the roof. With over 7000 taxis, they are also quite easy to get hold of.

Taxis can be hailed in the street, or picked up at a taxi stand across the city. Taxis in Berlin are comfortable, known to be safe, and a quite economic choice, compared to other European cities. Taxi drivers also generally speak English (at least to some extent).

General taxi fares in Berlin

All Berlin taxis tend to use the taximeter; fixed prices are rare. The taximeter starts at €3, and then you are charged €1.58 per kilometer the first 7 kilometres, and then €1.20 for every further kilometer. To the fare, a tip of 5-10% is usually added.
