TaxaTaxis are plentiful in the city. All taxis in Copenhagen are licensed by the authorities and are equipped with meters.

Taxis can be flagged down anywhere in Copenhagen. If the yellow "Taxa" light on the roof of the car or in the front window is on, the taxi is available for hire.

Fares

The meter starts at DKK 19 when hailed on the street and DKK 32 when you book over the phone. Plus roughly: 

  • DKK 11.50 per km/half mile between 7am and 4pm.
  • DKK 12.50 between 4pm and 7am. 
  • DKK 15.80 Fri-Sat betweem 11pm and 7am.
  • DKK 12.50 Sun and national holidays.

Fares include a service charge, so tips are not expected.

Most taxis accept major credit cards. Should you wish to pay with a credit card, let the driver know before beginning the trip. On request, taxi drivers will provide you with a computerised receipt for the fare.
