Useful tips for getting a Frankfurt Airport taxi
- Frankfurt Airport taxis calculate fares using a taximeter, which means your final fare depends on factors such as distance, time of day, and even traffic levels.
- Always make sure the taximeter is turned on before you set off.
- Never accept rides from unlicensed drivers selling their services in the airport terminals.
- Keep your receipt in case you need to file a complaint or claim a lost item.
- During peak season (June-July) and public holidays, you could end up waiting a while for your Frankfurt Airport taxi. We recommend booking your taxi in advance for a quick and painless experience.
- Tipping is not customary, however, feel free to round up the fare if you especially like the service.
- Many Frankfurt Airport taxi drivers accept payments by card. However, that's not the case for all drivers. To avoid any issues, always ask before starting your journey or make sure you have some Euros as backup.
- If you think you have been scammed or overcharged, write down the taxi driver’s name, ID number and the number of your taxi. You can then contact the taxi company or the local police to file a complaint.
- Some drivers speak English, however, it’s always a good idea to have the address written down in advance to avoid any miscommunications.
