⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Only use official taxi ranks at ICN; unlicensed touts in the arrivals hall may charge much more.
  • If using a metered taxi, ensure the meter starts at ₩4,800 for regular or ₩7,000 for deluxe/large taxis; tolls are added on top.
  • Private-car ride sharing is illegal in Korea; Uber and Kakao T only dispatch licensed taxis, not UberX.
  • For a fixed fare, go to the official International Taxi desk or rank; do not follow someone who offers to take you to a taxi.
