Fare reference data
Each airport record contains a reference base fare, per-kilometre rate and airport access amount in local currency. These figures are planning references rather than guaranteed operator quotes.
How our airport fare estimates work
AirportFareGuide is a planning tool, not a taxi operator or booking service. We show a useful fare range and make the assumptions visible so you can compare options before confirming a live price.
Method reviewed: 25 August 2026
Core calculation
The fare formula
Estimated fare = base fare + distance rate + selected airport/toll charges + selected supplements
The calculator then displays a lower and upper planning range around that result because real taxi prices can vary by operator, traffic, local regulation and demand.
Route distance
When you select an address or postcode, road distance is requested from OpenStreetMap-compatible routing services. Preset or manually adjusted distances are clearly identified when a routed location is not selected.
Vehicle and supplements
Vehicle class applies a visible multiplier. Luggage, night travel, estimated tolls and airport entry charges are included only when their calculator options are selected.
Currency conversion
Currency rates are requested from a third-party exchange-rate API when the page loads. If that service is unavailable, the calculator continues with bundled fallback rates and labels the result accordingly.

How to use the result responsibly
Use the calculator to set a budget and compare transport choices. Before travelling, confirm the current fare, airport access rules and payment conditions with the airport authority or your chosen licensed operator.
