From the terminal to the quayside
It is 91.3 kilometres from Hamburg Airport to Ostseekai Kiel, along the A7 and the B404. With a clear road that comes to about 64 minutes. We meet you in the arrivals hall, carry your bags to the car and drive you to the berth itself.
The price of 150.00 € is for the whole car, not per person. Nothing is added to it afterwards, not at night, not at the weekend, not on a public holiday and not for suitcases. You see the amount before you book and it stays that way.
Sailing from Kiel: when do you need to be there?
Most cruise lines want you on board two to three hours before the ship leaves. For a ship that sails at five in the afternoon that means leaving the airport around one, and even then there is room for a queue at the Elbe tunnel.
At the Ostseekai we drive right up to the baggage drop, not to the car park in front of it. With four big cruise cases a saloon car gets tight, so enter five passengers on the booking form and a minibus comes instead.
On summer Saturdays several ships lie here at the same time. The quay is busy then and the approach road is slower. We allow for that, and it makes no difference to what you pay.
Which quay is your ship using?
Kiel does not have one port but five berths, and they lie as much as seven kilometres apart. Get out at the Ostseekai when you need the Norwegenkai and you are standing in the wrong place with your luggage. Tell us the shipping line when you book and we drive to the right one.

Coach or taxi? The honest sum
Buses run on this route as well, and we are not going to talk them down. If you travel on your own with hand luggage and have time to spare, the bus is cheaper. The difference lies elsewhere.

If your flight is late
We follow your flight number. The driver comes for the time you actually land, not the time on the schedule. 60 minutes of waiting after landing are part of the fixed price, so you can take the baggage hall at your own pace.
If your flight lands a good deal later, we still drive. A bus or train ticket is worthless by then; a booked car is not. When there is a ship leaving the same day, that is the difference between sailing and staying behind.
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.
