From the terminal to the quayside
It is 96.7 kilometres from Hamburg Airport to Ostuferhafen Kiel, along the A7 and the B404. With a clear road that comes to about 72 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.
The Ostuferhafen is on the other side of the water
Say Ostuferhafen when you mean Ostseekai and you end up standing with your luggage seven kilometres and one fjord away from your ship. It is the mistake made most often in Kiel, and it is why we always ask which line you are sailing with.
DFDS runs from here to Klaipeda, six times a week. It is a working port: freight and passengers share the same ground, there is no terminal building like the one at the Ostseekai, and the way in is not signposted the way a cruise berth is.
The drive is roughly five kilometres longer and takes about eight minutes more than the runs to the other berths. That costs you nothing extra: all five Kiel berths are 150.00 € from Hamburg Airport. One amount for the whole port, so you never have to look up which quay your ship uses.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the drive from Hamburg Airport to Ostuferhafen Kiel take?
About 72 minutes for 96.7 kilometres on the A7 and the B404. A queue at the Elbe tunnel or the rush hour can make it longer. We allow for that and keep an eye on your landing time.
What does a taxi from Hamburg Airport to Ostuferhafen Kiel cost?
150.00 € as a fixed price for the whole car with up to four people, 165.00 € for the minibus with up to eight. The price is the same in both directions and covers luggage, waiting time and every surcharge.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We follow your flight number and come for the time you actually land, not the time on the schedule. 60 minutes of waiting after landing are part of the fixed price. Your booking does not lapse, unlike a bus or train ticket.
How many people and cases fit in the car?
A saloon car takes four people with four cases. With big holiday luggage that gets tight: enter five people on the booking form and you get a minibus for 165.00 €.
Can I pay in the taxi?
Yes. You can pay online with PayPal, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or in cash or by card with the driver. The price is the same either way.
Can I cancel free of charge?
Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before the journey.
Do you drive at night and at the weekend?
Around the clock, seven days a week, for the same fixed price. There are no night, weekend or holiday surcharges on this route.
Is the Ostuferhafen the same place as the Ostseekai?
No, and the two names are easy to mix up. The Ostseekai is the cruise terminal on the western bank of the Kiel Fjord; the Ostuferhafen lies opposite on the eastern bank and handles freight and ferries. There are some seven kilometres between them.
Does the Ostuferhafen cost more than the other quays?
No. The drive is longer and takes about eight minutes more, but the fixed price is the same for all five Kiel berths: 150.00 € from Hamburg Airport.
