Collected where you arrive, at a fixed price
Taxi from Ostseekai Kiel to Hamburg Airport
We are at the Ostseekai when you come off the ship, and you are at Hamburg Airport in a little over an hour. The price is agreed beforehand, so there is no waiting for a bid.
Rather call? 04321 22200, Day and night.
The price comes live from our booking system and is updated weekly.
From Kiel to your departure gate
From Ostseekai Kiel to Hamburg Airport is 91.3 kilometres and about 64 minutes. We are waiting when you come off, and we drive you right up to your terminal.
The fixed price is the same as in the other direction: 150.00 € for up to four people, 165.00 € for the minibus. Here too it is a price for the car and not per person.
How early can you book a flight?
If you are coming off a ship, most lines start letting passengers ashore around seven in the morning and everyone is off by nine. With about 64 minutes on the road plus some slack for the Elbe tunnel, a flight from late morning onwards is comfortable.
Reckon on being at the terminal two hours before departure and you get through without rushing. We know the road, and when you book we tell you which pick-up time suits your flight.
Book before you travel if you can. On arrival day everybody is on the quay at once, and a car that is already reserved is the difference between driving off and waiting.
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.
From the other Kiel berths as well
We collect at all five berths for the same fixed price. Tell us which line you arrive with when you book and we are waiting at the right quay.

Coach or taxi? The honest sum
Buses run back the other way too. On your own with hand luggage they are cheaper. Standing on the quay with suitcases and a flight to catch is a different sum.

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.
