Getting around Munich by taxi cab

With such a great public transportation system, there is little need to take a taxi cab in Munich. Taxis congragate where you would expect: by train stations and major squares. Or just go to a major street and flag one down (or you can call a cab).

Just in case you feel like splurging, here is what you need to know.

Munich taxi fares

• Flag fall (basic fare): €2.90
• Cost per kilometer:
  • Up to 5km: €1.60
  • 5–10km: €1.40
  • More than 10km: €1.25
• Flat rate to/from airport: €51 (a truly bad deal)
• Luggage: €0.50 per piece
• Order fee (if you phone for a taxi rather than flagging one down): €1

How to call a taxi in Munich

Ordering up a taxi by phone (to pick you up at, say, your hotel or a restaurant) will add an extra €1 onto the total charge.
