Why calculate taxi fares?

Taxis are an important part of local public transport. Taxis go wherever buses and trains cannot take you. While ticket prices are known in advance, this is not always the case with taxi fares. Although taxi companies in most countries are bound by law to fixed price limits, these are usually not known.

Calculating taxi fares can be useful for various reasons. For many passengers, it is important to know before the journey how much it will cost in order to be able to assess whether a taxi is a reasonable transportation option for the planned route.

Another application is the subsequent control of trips already completed in unfamiliar surroundings, for example on vacation. To ensure that you have paid an appropriate price, it is worth having the taxi price estimated retrospectively.

Our service is also frequently used by taxi drivers and companies. If the fare is freely negotiable, our taxi-calculator provides a reliable guideline for agreeing a reasonable fare.

How the calculation of taxi costs works?

After you have entered the start and destination address of the planned taxi journey in the form at the top of this page, our system calculates the best possible route in terms of distance and journey time for the taxi journey. This is updated daily and forms the basis for calculating the individual taxi costs.

In most cases, taxis are obliged to take the shortest route between the start and destination. However, a slightly longer route is often much faster because motorways or motorways are used or because there is less traffic on the alternative route. If different routes make sense, you can choose between the fastest and shortest route.

Up-to-date taxi tariff database

We currently have 1127 taxi fares from 92 different countries in our database. This makes it possible to calculate taxi fares and cost transparency almost worldwide.

We regularly check that all tariffs are up to date. This is done both through contact with tariff-issuing institutions and through automated procedures.

For each tariff, the tariff components required for calculating the price are the basic fee, the graduated distance charges, traffic-dependent standing and waiting time charges as well as any surcharges and fixed prices.

Precise taxi fare calculation

Once the route to be travelled has been calculated with the distance and estimated journey time, we automatically identify the taxi fare valid at the starting address.

This information is then used to calculate the estimated taxi fare. This takes into account the basic and distance charges as well as the traffic-dependent charges. The latter are included in the calculation with varying weightings.

Based on our experience of more than 57 million price calculations since 2009, our estimated taxi prices are the most accurate on the internet. Compare us!

Optimised by AI

Every calculation of taxi costs includes an expectation of the traffic-related charges that are incurred as soon as the vehicle falls below a certain speed. This is necessary to ensure that the calculated taxi fares are as close to reality as possible.
