Berlin Airport (BER) transfers

BER Airport to Berlin transfers

Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is about 18 km south-east of Berlin city centre. It handled about 26 million passengers in 2025, so taxis, trains and transfer cars are always busy.

BER Airport to Berlin taxi prices

• BER to Alexanderplatz: about 23 km, 35–60 minutes, about €45
• Airport tariff: base €4.30, €2.60 per km up to 5 km, then €2.00 per km
• About €1.50 extra at the barrier taxi rank
• €6 extra for 5–8 passengers or bulky luggage

The big Berlin dispatcher offers taxi fixed prices to BER but not from BER into the city, so at the rank you normally pay the meter. For a fixed fare from BER, pre-book a chauffeur: one Berlin firm lists BER to the city from about €145.
