⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use the official taxi ranks only. Unlicensed touts and vans inside arrivals overcharge and are illegal.
  • In regular taxis make sure the meter is started; tolls (about ₩3,200) are added separately and you should get a receipt.
  • Do not accept a fixed fare from a random driver; Seoul-bound taxis should use the meter or booked International Taxi zone fares.
  • Buy AREX Express tickets before boarding; paying on board costs much more, and the Express does not stop at Gimpo or Hongdae.
