Everything you need to know before your Berlin Airport transfer
- Check that the taximeter starts correctly before departure. For journeys that do not use a fixed fare, make sure the meter is running from the base rate to avoid any misunderstandings about the final price.
- Confirm your payment method before starting the ride. Most Berlin taxis accept credit and debit cards, but it is still a good idea to let the driver know in advance or carry some cash in euros as a backup.
- Save your destination address on your phone. While many Berlin taxi drivers speak English, having the exact address available can help avoid confusion and ensure you are taken to the correct location.
- Use a navigation app during the journey if you wish. Apps such as Google Maps can help you follow the route and provide additional peace of mind, especially if you are unfamiliar with Berlin.
- Ask for a receipt before leaving the vehicle. A receipt can be useful if you need to recover a lost item, track travel expenses, or contact the taxi company after your journey.
- Tip only if you are happy with the service. Tipping is not mandatory in Germany, but many travelers choose to leave around 5–10% or round up the fare as a gesture of appreciation.
