At terminals T1 and T2, arriving passengers are just a few steps from the North and South taxi ranks in front of Terminal T1 on level E0. Departing passengers leave their taxi on level E1, within easy reach of the check-in facilities. Terminal 2 does not have its own taxi rank.

A taxi to Berlin’s city centre will cost between 60 and 70 euros. The ride should take between 35 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic. 

Passengers looking for a special type of taxi, e. g. a handicapped accessible vehicle, one equipped with child seats or a more spacious minivan should contact a representative of the taxi service provider, APCOA. Representatives can be found at the cab ranks. 

Please double-check that the taxi you take is an official cab stationed at one of the signposted taxi ranks. Outside these areas you may encounter fake cabs operated by scammers.

All taxis stationed at the front of the terminal are obliged to charge standard fares.
