TAXI Cruise Copenhagen Network recommends Taxi 4x27. The yellow-black cars offer a high service level, and can be pre-ordered for a fixed rate, when going to the ship, hotel or airport. Naturally, you can also simply hail a taxi in the street or download our App at www.taxi.eu. All taxis accept US Dollars and Euros as payment. You can pay with all major credit cards as well (card fee: 3.25%). For pre-orders and pick-up in the airport/Cruise terminal please ask for guidelines: Email: vagtchef@taxi4x27.dk Phone: +45 2727 2727 ESTIMATED TAXI FARES (depending on current exchange rates) PRACTICAL INFO CPH Airport → City: DKK 270, USD 49, GBP 30, AUD 59, EUR 39.
