How much does a private transfer to or from BER cost?

The booking form shows the total for your selected ride before you complete it. “From €59” is a starting price for selected one-way partner rides, not a Berlin taxi fare. Child seats, larger vehicles or extra waiting can cost more.

How do I pay for the ride?

The initial booking is paid online. Credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay may be available. Cash and bank transfers are not accepted for an initial online booking; the payment step shows which options are available to you.

How much does extra waiting cost?

If the driver is able to stay longer, current charges are €6 per additional 15 minutes for a sedan, €9 for a minivan and €12 for a minibus. Extra waiting is not guaranteed; contact your driver through the details in your booking if delayed.

Can I cancel my booking?

Under the booking partner’s current terms, cancelling at least 24 hours before pickup gives a choice of a coupon for 100% of the transfer value or an 80% refund. No compensation is offered for cancellation within 24 hours. Check the terms of your particular booking before paying.

When is my ride confirmed?

Check the route, date, local time, passengers, luggage, selected extras and total price before completing the booking flow. You then receive a confirmation. Driver details may arrive in a further message after assignment.

Can I change the pickup time, destination or passenger count later?

You can request changes through “Manage your booking” on the booking partner’s website or in its app. The change cutoff depends on the destination; changes after it are only possible by exception. A different vehicle or extras may change the price. Check all details before paying where possible.

Meter versus fixed price

In a taxi the meter sets the price under the applicable Berlin tariff: congestion and detours push it up, a clear road brings it down. With a pre-booked private transfer the booking partner states the price for the ride before you book, based on your details. One price is settled at the end, the other at the start, and that is the essential difference for your travel budget.

Capacity and waiting

At the rank the vehicle is whichever is next in line; child seats cannot be planned there and a large vehicle is not guaranteed. With a private transfer the vehicle class, child seats and luggage allowance are part of the booking and are confirmed. In exchange, a taxi is available on the spot while a booking has to be completed beforehand. For spontaneous single rides the taxi wins; for planned arrivals with luggage or children, the transfer.
