Taxi Guide Berlin

Taxi service is safe, fast and reliable and most drivers will speak some English. Berlin taxis are very easily recognisable. The are beige and generally a Mercedes Benz with a TAXI sign on the roof.

Fares are calculated by the meter. The flag fall will start at €3, and then you are charged €1.58 per kilometre the first 7 kilometres, and €1.20 for each additional kilometre. It is customary to tip the driver. This is usually 5-10% of the fare.

You can hail a cab from the side of the road with no issue, however there also also many cab ranks located throughout the city and urban areas where you will be sure to get one. Otherwise you can call from your own phone, or have a restaurant or hotel call for you.
