Passengers may also choose to travel in a smoking or non-smoking vehicle.

Taxi fare rates vary considerably depending on the final destination, the amount of baggage loaded, traffic waiting time and in which rate zone you will be traveling.

For up to 5 km of travel, the rate per kilometer is 1.60 Euros. 1.40 Euros are charged per kilometer for 5 – 10 km. The rate of travel of over 10 km is 1.25 Euros per kilometer.

Each item of luggage loaded is 0.50 Euro extra. In Munich, taxis can be called or ordered by email from most taxi companies. The order fee is 1 Euro. This is applicable to rate zone 1, which includes the city of Munich and the other municipality territories of Unterföhring, Unterhaching, Planegg, Aschheim-Dornach, Haar, Feldkirchen, Neubiberg, Grünwald, Ottobrunn, Neuried, Pallach, Gräfelfing, Krailling and Karlsfeld . You will be required to pay the regular fare, depending on the rate schedule, if the taxi leaves to collect you from outside of rate zone 1.
