⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Ignore touts offering 'taxi' inside the terminal; unlicensed vans overcharge. Use the official taxi ranks or a pre-booked transfer.
  • For metered taxis, the meter must start at ₩4,800 and add a 20% out-of-city surcharge plus the Incheon Airport Expressway toll (about ₩3,200). Any flat fare above the official International Taxi zone rate is a rip-off.
  • Don't buy AREX Express tickets from people on the platform; paying on board costs much more. Buy at machines, counters, or the official app before boarding.
  • Night surcharges on regular taxis are +20% from 22:00-23:00 and 02:00-04:00, +40% from 23:00-02:00; combined surcharges cannot exceed 60%. Check the meter.
