What to know before your transfer at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER)

Tolls, charges, terminal pickup zones and local rules that affect your private transfer at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER).

Where your driver meets you

At BER your driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit holding a name sign. Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 funnel road pickups to the T1 forecourt, since T2 has no vehicle driveway — a short, signposted walk away.

Tolls and emission zone included

Germany charges no motorway toll on private cars, and Berlin's central Umweltzone (green-sticker low-emission zone) compliance is handled by your driver. Every applicable charge is built into your fixed Transfeero price, with nothing extra to pay.

Drive time via the A113

Drivers reach central Berlin via the A113 motorway, with the B96a as an alternative for nearer areas. Expect roughly 35–45 minutes door to door, longer during weekday peaks on the A100 inner ring toward Mitte.

Licensed German drivers

Every Transfeero partner driver in Germany holds the Personenbeförderungsschein, the mandatory professional passenger-transport licence (informally the P-Schein), so your transfer is fully licensed and compliant from the moment you book.

Transfer insights for Berlin Brandenburg Airport

BER operates through two active terminals. Terminal 1 is the main building used by full-service carriers and handles most traffic, while Terminal 2 is a smaller satellite a few minutes' walk away, serving low-cost airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air. After landing you clear immigration, collect bags in the baggage hall and walk out into the arrivals area; T2 has no vehicle driveway, so all road pickups happen at the T1 forecourt. Your Transfeero driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit holding a name sign, regardless of which terminal you land in.

Reaching central Berlin from BER is straightforward by road. Drivers leave via the A113 motorway, joining the city ring before peeling off toward Mitte, with the B96a federal road as an alternative for closer destinations. A typical door-to-door run takes 35 to 45 minutes, though the A100 inner ring and the approaches to Alexanderplatz and Potsdamer Platz can slow significantly during weekday commuter peaks.

Germany levies no motorway toll on private passenger cars, so the Autobahn journey carries no road charge. Berlin does maintain a central Umweltzone (low-emission zone) where only vehicles displaying a green sticker may enter; since 2025 the green sticker is mandatory inside the zone. With Transfeero, every applicable charge and your driver's compliant, properly licensed vehicle are already built into the fixed price — there is genuinely nothing extra to pay on arrival.

The alternatives each have real drawbacks. The taxi rank at T1 charges a metered €60–70 with no fixed total, and fares climb in traffic. The FEX Airport Express and S-Bahn S9 are cheap but need an ABC ticket (€4.70, rising to €5.00 in 2026) and leave you hauling luggage onto a train and onward to your final address. A pre-booked private transfer skips the queue and the changes entirely, delivering you door to door for one agreed price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specific answers about transfers at Berlin Brandenburg Airport — booking, pickup zones, local tolls, and what changes between terminals.

Where exactly does the driver meet me at BER?
Your driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands, holding a sign with your name. Whether you arrive at Terminal 1 or the smaller Terminal 2, road pickups are at the T1 forecourt, since T2 has no vehicle driveway. Just follow the signs from the baggage hall and your driver will be waiting.
Are tolls and the Berlin emission zone included in the price?
Yes, completely. Germany charges no motorway toll on private passenger cars, so the A113 journey carries no road charge. Berlin's central Umweltzone requires a green emission sticker, which your driver's vehicle already meets. Everything is built into your fixed Transfeero price — there is nothing to check and nothing extra to pay when you arrive.
How long does the transfer to central Berlin take?
Most journeys to central Berlin take around 35 to 45 minutes via the A113 motorway, covering roughly 24 km. Travel times stretch during weekday commuter peaks, especially on the A100 inner ring and the approaches to Mitte, Alexanderplatz and Potsdamer Platz. Your driver tracks live traffic and chooses the fastest route at no extra cost.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your flight is monitored in real time, so your driver adjusts automatically to delays and is there when you land. You also get a free 60-minute wait at airport arrivals after your flight touches down, giving you ample time to clear immigration, collect baggage and walk out. There is no extra charge for delays.
What if I land at a different terminal than expected?
No problem at all. BER has two active terminals, and your flight is tracked in real time. If your arrival terminal changes, your driver adjusts and meets you at the correct baggage-hall exit at no extra cost. Since road pickups for both T1 and T2 are at the T1 forecourt, the meeting flow stays simple either way.
How does a transfer compare to the FEX or S-Bahn?
The FEX Airport Express and S-Bahn S9 are cheap, needing an ABC ticket at €4.70 (€5.00 from 2026), but they leave you carrying luggage onto a train and onward from the station to your final address. A private transfer takes you door to door with no changes, no ticket and a price fixed before you travel.
Is the transfer cheaper than a BER taxi?
BER taxis use a meter, typically €60–70 to the city centre, with fares rising in traffic and no guaranteed total. A Transfeero transfer is EUR 39.75, fixed before you travel, with no surge pricing or surprise additions. You also skip the taxi rank queue, as your driver is already waiting inside arrivals.
Are drivers properly licensed in Germany?
Yes. Every Transfeero partner driver in Germany holds the Personenbeförderungsschein, the mandatory professional passenger-transport licence, informally called the P-Schein. This is the same qualification required of licensed taxi and private-hire drivers, so your transfer is fully legal and the vehicle meets Berlin's emission-zone requirements for entering the city centre.
Are transfers available late at night?
Yes, Transfeero transfers are available around the clock, including late-night and early-morning arrivals. Because your booking is arranged in advance and the price is fixed, you avoid the uncertainty of finding a taxi after midnight. Your driver is matched to your specific flight time and waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit whenever you land.
Can I request a free child seat?
Yes. Child seats are provided free of charge on request — simply add the requirement when you book and specify the child's age so the correct seat is arranged. This is part of the fixed price with no extra fee. Tipping is not expected in Germany, though rounding up is a common gesture if you wish.
