Stuttgart Airport is around 13 km south of Stuttgart city center, with the A8 and B27 providing the main road connections. 

The airport has four passenger terminals, and its compact layout means most facilities are within a short walk of one another. 

However, your transport options are not all located in the same place: taxis are outside Terminal 1 on the Arrivals level, while the S-Bahn station is accessed from the Arrivals level via Terminals 1 and 3. 

A taxi or private transfer can be more convenient if you arrive with several bags, are traveling with children, land late, or simply do not want to navigate German public transport and the airport’s different terminal access points after a long flight.

How a Stuttgart Airport taxi with Welcome Pickups works

A pre-booked Welcome Pickups transfer to the city center costs from €77 at a fixed fare. A standard airport taxi uses the city’s regulated meter, so the final fare can change with distance and traffic. 

For travelers unfamiliar with Stuttgart, this option removes one of the main arrival decisions: finding the taxi rank, checking the route, and estimating a metered fare while tired or carrying luggage.

Apart from that, other benefits you get with a pre-booked airport transfer are:

  • -A known price: See the transfer price before you travel.
  • -Flight monitoring: Your driver can track your arrival when you provide your flight number.
  • -A planned pickup: You know where to meet your driver before leaving the aircraft.
  • -English-speaking assistance: Welcome drivers are selected and trained English-speaking local drivers.
  • -Luggage assistance: Your driver helps you from the meeting point to the vehicle.
  • -A suitable vehicle: Choose a sedan or minivan according to your group size and luggage.
  • -Child-friendly options: Child seats can be requested when booking.
  • -24/7 support: Welcome provides round-the-clock customer support.
  • -Late-arrival support: Airport waiting time is built into the pickup service.

Before you travel: Stuttgart Airport taxi tips

  1. Stuttgart has Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4, so confirm your airline's terminal before your journey.
  2. Official airport information places taxis directly outside Terminal 1 on Arrivals Level 2. If you are arriving at another terminal, follow the airport signs rather than assuming the taxi rank is outside your arrival building.
  3. Allow extra time in winter. Stuttgart Airport can experience disruption during periods of snow and freezing weather.
  4. Tip: Strict rules apply to power banks, e-cigarettes, and spare rechargeable batteries. Keep them in your carry-on, not checked luggage, and check airline limits to avoid delays or confiscation.
