Taxi & Transport

Tips to travel safely and ensure the correct price of the taxi trip

• The price list must be visible to the customer in the right rear part of the taxi, outside the car.
• The price list shows the comparison price of the trip and the possible minimum price.
• The comparison price is the price of a 10-kilometer trip lasting 15 minutes.
• If the price is more than 40 euros, the driver must mention this before the start of the trip. If this is not mentioned, the driver may not charge more than 40 euros for any trip.

The taxi operators of the platform economy often have different prices when you take the ride from the taxi stations or on the street. The price range may be wide. When ordering with an application, it’s always worth choosing the fixed price. This is the best way to avoid unpleasant surprises regarding the price of the ride.

You can order a taxi by phone, take it from a taxi stand or by stopping the taxi on the street. Taxi stations in the center of Helsinki are, for example, by the  Railway station at Asema-aukio and Rautatientori squares, Senate Square by the Cathderal, Pohjoisesplanadi street and by the ferry terminals. When the yellow light on the roof of the taxi is lit, the taxi is available.

Arriving by plane

There are four lanes for different taxi companies at the taxi station at Helsinki Airport.  The taxi companies that have an agreement with the airport company Finavia operate from the lanes 1-4. These are FixuTaxi, Taksi Helsinki, Menevä and Lähitaksi. By choosing a taxi from lanes 1-4, you will reach your destination at a reasonable price.

A taxi ride from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to the center of Helsinki takes about 30 minutes and costs about 40-45 euro when taking a taxi from lanes 1-4.

The pick-up point for ride-hailing app rides and pre-booked taxis is located in the P2 parking hall, in the immediate vicinity of the terminal. There is direct access from the terminal’s arrivals hall to P2 parking hall. Signs in the terminal will direct arriving passengers to the pick-up point.

Taxis that do not have a contract with Finavia can also to pick up their customers from the pick-up point in P2. Please, note that the  taxis in the pick-up point can state their prices freely.

Arriving by ship or ferry

In the port we recommend taking Taksi Helsinki or Lähitaksi  from the taxi stand. They  are contract partners of Port of Helsinki.

Arriving by train

There are no contracted taxis at the main Railway station in the city centre yet. We recommend using taxis from the biggest taxi companies listed above.

Taksi Helsinki and Lähitaksi operate at Pasila train station.
