⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Only use official taxi ranks; anyone approaching you inside arrivals offering a ride is not licensed and will overcharge.
  • For regular taxis, make sure the meter starts at ₩4,800 and that the driver adds the Incheon Airport Expressway toll (about ₩3,200); refuse fixed verbal quotes unless it is the official International Taxi zone fare.
  • Buy bus or train tickets only at official counters, machines or apps, not from people outside the terminal; purchase T-money cards at convenience stores or machines.
  • At night, the metered fare can be 20–40% higher; if a driver offers a 'special cheap' night fare, it is likely a scam.
