1. The Northeim Taxi Rate Explained Simply
Officially Set
The Northeim taxi rate was officially set on June 1, 2022. In Germany, cab fares are set officially by cities or districts and published in the official tariff ordinance. Unless otherwise regulated, it is binding for all cabs and cab companies within the compulsory travel area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the cabs.
How the fare is made up under the Northeim taxi rate:
The taxi tariff for Northeim provides a clear structure for calculating the cost of your ride. The fare you pay depends on the time of day, the distance traveled, and any waiting time during your ride. There are two different rates: one for the day and one for the night.
During the day, which is from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, there is a base fare of €4.50. This is the minimum amount you pay when you begin your journey. For the first 3 kilometers, the price is €2.50 per kilometer. If your trip goes beyond 3 kilometers, every additional kilometer costs €2.30. If the taxi needs to wait during your ride, for example in traffic or while you make a stop, a waiting time fee of €30.00 per hour applies.
At night, from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am every day, the fare structure is slightly different. The base fare during this period is €6.50. The per kilometer charges remain the same as during the day: €2.50 per kilometer for the first 3 kilometers, and €2.30 for each additional kilometer after that. The waiting time fee is also €30.00 per hour at night.
Passengers can use this information to easily estimate the cost of their taxi journey in Northeim. Fares are calculated by adding the appropriate base fare to the charges for distance traveled and any waiting time during the ride. This ensures that taxi pricing in Northeim is clear and transparent for everyone.

4. Legal Basis for Taxi Rides in Germany
Contrary to what many people assume, there is no single, nationwide taxi price in Germany. Taxi fares are set by the respective cities or districts – usually via an official taxi fare regulation.
This means:
- Each local authority can define its own prices
- Fares differ between cities, districts and federal states
- Taxi companies are required to apply these prices
Negotiating the price is not allowed, because these are officially approved mandatory fares.
In Germany, a taxi fare usually consists of several fixed components:
🚕 Base fare
The base fare is charged once at the start of the ride. It covers the provision of the vehicle and can vary significantly by city.
📏 Distance rate
The distance rate is charged during the trip. Many tariffs use tiers, for example:
- a rate for the first kilometres
- a different rate beyond a certain distance
⏱️ Waiting time
If the taxi is stuck in traffic or waits at the passenger’s request, waiting time is charged. This is usually billed per minute or per hour and can noticeably increase the total fare.
In many cities, different rates apply depending on the time of day. Possible examples include:
- night surcharges
- weekend or public holiday rates
- special late-evening rates
Whether and when such surcharges apply depends on the local regulation. You can find the details for this tariff at the top of this page.
Some cities offer special rules, such as:
- short-trip rates for very short rides
- minimum fares
- special prices for certain zones or times
These rules are not uniform nationwide. If special prices exist for this tariff, you’ll also find them at the top of this page.
Differences in taxi prices are driven by factors such as:
- local cost of living
- wages and operating costs
- traffic density and congestion
- municipal requirements
That’s why the same distance can cost several euros more in one city than in another.
Because of these differences, comparing taxi fares in Germany makes sense. On this website you’ll find:
- up-to-date fares from across Germany
- city-to-city comparisons
- practical ride examples
- statistics and rankings
This helps you estimate realistic costs before you ride.
In Germany, taxi fares are not updated on a fixed schedule, but when needed. Changes typically happen when economic or legal conditions shift significantly—for example due to rising operating costs, wage increases or regulatory changes.
Taxi rides in Germany are subject to fare binding. This means the officially set taxi tariff must be applied. Drivers are legally required to use the approved tariff.
No deviations within the mandatory service area
Within the mandatory service area, fares may neither be exceeded nor undercut. Individual price agreements, discounts or flat special prices are not permitted. This prohibition also applies to the taxi tariff shown here. The fare is calculated exclusively via the taximeter based on the official tariff.
Price agreements possible for destinations outside the mandatory area
For rides whose destination lies outside the mandatory service area, price agreements are generally possible. In this case, a fixed price or different fare can be agreed with the driver or taxi company before the ride starts. The agreement must be clear and made in advance—later changes are not permitted. Without an explicit agreement, the regular tariff still applies and the ride is billed via the taximeter.
