How the estimate works
- Meter, standard taxi: KRW 4,800 for the first 1.6 km, then KRW 100 for every 131 m. While the taxi crawls in traffic the meter adds KRW 100 every 30 seconds.
- Night surcharge on the whole fare, rounded to KRW 100: 20% from 22:00 to 23:00, 40% from 23:00 to 02:00 and 20% from 02:00 to 04:00. Deluxe and jumbo taxis add 20% from 22:00 to 04:00. Hongdae by standard taxi from Terminal 1: about KRW 40,700–48,500 by day and KRW 57,000–67,900 at 23:30.
- Out-of-city surcharge: No out-of-city surcharge applies on trips from the airport to Seoul, Incheon, Goyang, Gwangmyeong, Gimpo or Bucheon (Incheon Airport page). Elsewhere Seoul and Gyeonggi taxis add 20% and Incheon taxis 30%; no destination outside those cities is in the calculator.
- Our range: the low end is the road distance with no slow traffic. The high end adds 5% more distance and 30 minutes of slow driving. Real fares depend on the route and the traffic on the day; these two numbers are our assumptions.
- Distances are road distances from the terminals to the middle of each area, from OpenStreetMap routing without traffic (2026-11-09).
- Tolls: Road tolls are charged separately. The amount is not entered: the sources found disagree (airport expressway figures of 3,200 and 6,600 won appear for different years and directions) and none is an operator page.
Which taxi?
- Standard (mid-size) taxi: metered, the cheapest option and the one this page estimates.
- Deluxe / jumbo taxi: a higher base fare and larger step (KRW 7,000 for the first 3 km, then KRW 200 per 151 m).
- International taxi: for foreign visitors, with foreign-language service and a flat fare for Seoul trips. We do not list its fares: we found no current official amount. Ask at the airport's international taxi stand and agree the price before you get in.
- Use the signposted taxi stands. The airport warns about touts and call vans posing as taxis.
Compare with the bus and the train: airport bus routes, AREX.
