Taxis in Frankfurt

There is something for everyone in Frankfurt, Germany’s financial capital and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s hometown. Frankfurt offers modernity but also cosiness, and you can spend time exploring the high-rise architecture downtown or you can wander through the many world-class museums in the city. Getting around by taxi is a piece of cake with Frankfurt’s easy to spot government-regulated taxis. If you don’t pre-book your ride, the fare is metered, and you can catch a taxi from one of the taxi ranks in the city or you can hail one from the street.

Frankfurt Taxi Prices

Taxis in Frankfurt are metered and rates are regulated by the government. Fares are determined by a base rate, the number of kilometres travelled, and the time it takes to reach your destination. Your fare can be calculated based on the following:

Base fare: €3.50
Price per km for the first 15 km: €2.00
Price per km after the first 15 km: €1.75
Hourly rate for waiting or for slow speeds: €33.00

The fare from Frankfurt airport to the city centre should cost between €45-50. There may be surcharges for extra or oversized luggage. Bigger taxis that can accommodate up to 7 people are available but the cost may be increased.

Frankfurt Taxi Safety and Complaints

Taxis in Frankfurt are the safest mode of transportation. Just like you would do anywhere in the world, you may want to double-check the route to your destination in advance, so that your driver doesn’t take the “scenic route” to drive up the fare, and you should exercise the normal amount of caution. If an issue arises, be sure to record the taxi number and keep your receipt; you can then file a complaint with the taxi company you used or report any incidents to the local police. The company’s phone number would be on the receipt, posted on the taxi, or can be found on the company’s website.

Frequently asked questions

Do Frankfurt taxis take credit cards?

Some taxis do accept credit cards, but not all drivers are yet equipped for payment by card. If you want to use your card to pay, communicate your preference with the driver before embarking on your journey.

How do I call a Frankfurt taxi?

There are a number of Frankfurt taxi companies, you can call and you can choose depending on your needs and their offering. Keep in mind that to request a taxi over the phone additional fees may apply. Alternatively, you can catch a ride from one of the taxi ranks in the city, hail a taxi from the street, or book your transfer in advance with a top-rated service provider like Welcome Pickups that guarantees no hidden fees.

Are taxis in Frankfurt expensive?

The cost of your Frankfurt taxi can add up if you are travelling a greater distance, but if you are making a quick trip, the fare is reasonable – especially if you can split it between your fellow travellers. Depending on where you’re trying to get to, taking the train in Frankfurt can get you from one station to the next quicker and perhaps cheaper than a taxi, but you may have to do some navigating and plenty of walking to get to your final destination, so it may be worth opting for a cab instead.
