Good to know Tip: Avoid a taxi-hire service called "Uber" (Uber Taxi) that are typically found in most cities. This is a bad service, but the fastest way to get from point A to point B is to use a local taxi company.

Uber in Cologne

As far as fare estimates for Uber in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - it looks fairly familiar too. There is a base fare, a charge per mile and a charge per minute. It looks like the pricing structure you know well from all the miles you have logged in Cologne cabs. But Uber Fare Estimator actually uses a bit different pricing model. Uber taxis in Cologne charge riders per mile when moving, and per minute when idling. Even so, Uber rates do beat cab fares in Cologne.

It's also important to note that you don't have to tip your Uber taxi driver. And most people do tip their Cologne taxi driver.

If you add a tip of 20% to the Cologne cab fares, Uber looks like an even better deal and beats out other Cologne taxis' prices.
