How accurate is the BER transfer cost calculator?▾
Train fares use the official €5.00 Berlin ABC ticket price. Taxi figures come from the current Berlin meter tariff (base €4.30, tiered per-km) and ride-hail figures apply a typical surge multiplier. They are estimates for comparison, not quotes; the final taxi fare depends on route and traffic.

Is a taxi or the train cheaper from BER?▾
For one or two people the train is far cheaper (€5.00 each). For three or four people with luggage, a single taxi or ride-hail car (around €60 to €70) can be competitive and door-to-door.
Is there a night surcharge for Berlin taxis?▾
No. Berlin taxis charge the same day and night, so a late-night airport taxi uses the standard meter rate. Ride-hail apps, however, can surge at busy or late hours.
