In order to make a forecast about the estimated taxi price in Cologne, we use the current taxi tariff Cologne. This was last fixed in January 2019. The Cologne taxi tariff consists of a basic charge, various kilometer prices and a time-dependent component for standing and waiting times. Based on the entered start and destination address, we first determine the shortest taxi distance between these two points. We use the resulting distance and estimated driving time to calculate an estimated value for your forthcoming taxi journey in Cologne with the taxi tariff valid today. Of course, the start and destination addresses do not necessarily have to be in Cologne. We will automatically find the right fare.
