Price of a Copenhagen Airport taxi
Copenhagen Airport taxi prices all depend on four things: the distance traveled to your destination, the time of day, the length of your ride, and the type of taxi. Drivers use a meter to calculate the ride, accounting for the starting price. Then, the amount will rise according to the price per minute and the price per kilometer. This is why, compared to other major European cities, Copenhagen Airport taxis can be costly.
During the day (06:00 to 18:00), Monday to Friday, the starting fee is €5 (DKK 39). The per kilometer rate is €1.50 (DKK 11) and the price per minute is €0.90 (DKK 6.75).
On evenings, weekends and public holidays, the starting fee rises to €6.50 (DKK 49). In turn, the price per kilometer climbs to €2 (DKK 14.70) and the per minute rate rises to €1 (DKK 7).
These rates refer to typical four-seater sedans. There’s an additional DKK 30 added for minibuses which carry 5 to 8 passengers.
Expect to pay a surcharge of €1.74 (DKK 13) for airport rides too.
As an example, a taxi from Copenhagen Airport to the city center during the day will likely cost around €34 (DKK 250) depending on your end destination. At night, you may pay roughly €45 (DKK 335). Another popular destination is Malmö, just over the Swedish border. A taxi ride there from the airport will cost about €125 (DKK 930). This is because of toll charges when crossing bridges, which cost over €67 (DKK 500) on average.
You can pay for your Copenhagen Airport taxi by credit card or cash in the local currency, Danish Krone.
As you can see, prices are highly variable – especially if you get caught in traffic which increases the time spent. For a reasonable fixed rate agreed in advance, consider booking your ride with Welcome Pickups, a top-rated professional transfer company.

Where to get a taxi at Copenhagen Airport?
The Copenhagen Airport taxi rank is outside of Terminal 3. Follow the signs for “taxis” from the Arrivals Hall. If you’re flying into Terminal 2, don’t worry – the two terminals are housed within the same building. You just need to walk towards Terminal 3 and exit from the main doors from the Arrivals Hall.
There is also a designated taxi rank reserved for taxis to Sweden next to the main taxi rank outside of Terminal 3. You can also take local Danish taxis to Sweden but the Swedish taxi stand will likely give you more favourable rates.
The taxi stands are extremely organized and efficient. However, Copenhagen can be bitingly cold in the winter. It’s no fun to have the frosty wind blowing in your face as you wait for a taxi after a long flight. If you’d rather skip the queue, we recommend booking a Copenhagen Airport taxi in advance with Welcome Pickups. That way, your professional, friendly driver will meet you in the Arrivals Hall and carry your luggage to your designated vehicle.
