Estimate Taxi Fares in Munich

Munich Taxi Fares Explained

Taxi fares in Munich start with a base charge that you pay as soon as you get in. This initial fee covers the first part of your trip, even if you do not travel far.

After the base charge, the fare includes a price for every kilometer you ride. The longer your trip, the more you pay because the meter adds up the distance.

If the taxi must wait, for example, in traffic or for loading luggage, an extra waiting fee is added. This fee is based on the time the taxi is stopped.

For example, a 6 kilometer trip might cost around 19 euros in Munich. A trip from the airport to the city center is fixed at 101 euros for up to four passengers.

Uber and other apps may cost less, but prices can change with demand. Always check the final fare on the meter or in the app before you start your trip.
