Five berths, one fixed price
Taxi to every berth in Kiel
Kiel has five berths and they lie as much as seven kilometres apart. Here you can see which one belongs to your shipping line, how far it is from Hamburg Airport and what the drive costs.

Which berth belongs to which shipping line?
The names look alike and get mixed up all the time. Ostseekai and Ostuferhafen sound almost the same but sit on opposite banks of the Kiel Fjord. Head for the wrong one and you are seven kilometres out.

Both directions, the same price
Every one of these runs works both ways with us: out to the berth when you land at Hamburg Airport, and back again when you come off the ship. The fixed price is the same either way.
That is not a given. Most of the big transfer portals sell the outward trip only; one of them does not have a single page for the return direction in over four hundred thousand addresses.

Coach or taxi? The honest sum
Buses run between Kiel and Hamburg Airport as well. For one person with hand luggage they are cheaper, and we say so. The difference is where they take you and what happens when a flight is late.

You book with the driver, not with a middleman
We are a licensed taxi firm in Neumünster, with our own cars and a German phone number that somebody answers. So you book with the company that does the driving.
The big transfer portals sit in between. With one of them you only get a price once you have left your contact details and drivers have bid for your job; the form itself calls that "prices on a tender basis". When your ship leaves at a set hour, waiting for a bid is the last thing you need.
With us the amount is settled before you book and does not move afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
How many berths does the port of Kiel have?
Five that matter to travellers: Ostseekai for the cruise ships, Norwegenkai for the Color Line to Oslo, Schwedenkai for Stena Line to Gothenburg, Ostuferhafen for DFDS to Klaipeda, and Kiel Hauptbahnhof for the city centre.
What is the difference between Ostseekai and Ostuferhafen?
The Ostseekai is the cruise terminal on the western bank of the Kiel Fjord, right by the city centre. The Ostuferhafen lies opposite on the eastern bank and handles freight and ferries. There are some seven kilometres between them.
Does every berth cost the same?
Yes, all five cost the same: 150.00 € from Hamburg Airport for the whole car with up to four people. That includes the Ostuferhafen, even though the drive there is roughly five kilometres longer.
Does the KIELIUS coach run to the quays?
No. The KIELIUS runs from Kiel bus station via Neumünster to Hamburg Airport. From the bus station to the quay you carry your own luggage.
Do you drive the other way as well, from the quay to the airport?
Yes, every run works in both directions for the same fixed price. We are on the quay when you come off the ship.
