How much does a Geneva Airport taxi cost?
Geneva Airport taxi rates will be calculated using a taximeter, as the official taxis at the dedicated airport rank don’t offer fixed fares. The total cost of your journey will depend on the levels of traffic, the number of passengers, the time of day you travel, and your exact destination in the city of Geneva. You can expect to pay a base fare of €6.21 (CHF 6.30) and a cost per km of €3.15 (CHF 3.20) during the day and €3.75 (CHF 3.80) at night (00:00 to 05:00) and on Sundays.
On average, the Geneva Airport taxi price to the city center will be €37 (CHF 35) during the day and €48 (CHF 45) at night. For a slightly longer journey, such as traveling 40 minutes to Annecy, you will pay an average of €120 (CHF 110).
To avoid the uncertainty that comes with a taximeter ride, you can always pre-book your Geneva Airport taxi service with Welcome Pickups and enjoy fixed, all-inclusive fares with no hidden extra costs.
