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

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.
