A Berlin airport transfer from Detailed Drivers is the no-surge, no-language-barrier way in and out of Berlin Brandenburg (BER), the capital's single airport — engine-priced all-in across Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 with English-speaking chauffeurs, real-time flight tracking, and arrivals-hall meet-and-greet. BER is about 25 km southeast of the centre via the A113, so a pre-booked chauffeur reaches Mitte in roughly 35 minutes, and onward transfers run to Potsdamer Platz, Charlottenburg, the Messe fairgrounds, and out to Potsdam.
This is the airport spine of the car service Berlin hub. Arrivals continue as an hourly chauffeur service in Berlin for corporate and government days, and wedding or event arrivals run as a limo service in Berlin. The same English-speaking chauffeur model extends across Europe — see car service Paris.

BER Brandenburg — Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and the route in
BER replaced the old Tegel and Schönefeld airports in 2020 and is the only airport serving Berlin. Terminal 1 is the main building; Terminal 2 sits directly beside it. The terminal you arrive at shapes the meet-and-greet, but the route into the city is the same A113 corridor.
Terminal 1 & Terminal 2
Terminal 1 handles most full-service and long-haul carriers; Terminal 2, beside it, serves additional European operations during busy periods. The chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall of the correct terminal with your flight tracked and a name placard, so there is no terminal guessing and no taxi queue — useful for first-time visitors and families.
The A113 into Berlin
BER is about 25 km southeast of the centre, and the A113 autobahn runs straight to the Mitte and Potsdamer Platz core in roughly 35 minutes, continuing on the Stadtring ring road to Charlottenburg and City West. Continue on the car service Berlin hub to add an in-city day, or run straight on to Potsdam.

Is a BER transfer better than Uber, taxi, the train, or driving?
| Option | What happens at BER | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Detailed Drivers | Reserved English-speaking chauffeur tracking your flight, arrivals-hall meet-and-greet, set engine price, no surge, T1 and T2. | International travellers, executives, families, groups. |
| Uber Black | Pickup from the BER rideshare area; availability and vehicle vary, and prices climb during the Berlinale and IFA. | Solo travellers without luggage when flexible. |
| Taxi | Metered taxis queue at the BER rank, but offer no flight tracking, no pre-arranged meet, and a language barrier. | Short central trips without pre-booking. |
| FEX Airport Express train | The FEX runs BER to the centre on a fixed fare in about 30 minutes, but means a luggage walk and an onward S-Bahn, U-Bahn, or taxi leg. | Solo travellers near a central station. |
| Self-driving | Rental counters at BER, the Berlin Umweltzone environmental rule, and scarce central parking add friction after a long flight. | Travellers who already know Berlin. |
Flight tracking and arrivals-hall meet-and-greet at BER
Every Berlin airport transfer is flight-tracked from wheels-up. The chauffeur watches your inbound flight in real time across Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, so a delay, an early landing, or a gate change never leaves you waiting or paying extra. Complimentary wait time is built into the reservation, and there is no surge for a delayed flight.
Your English-speaking chauffeur meets you inside the arrivals hall of the correct terminal with a name placard after you clear baggage and any customs — useful for first-time visitors to Berlin, families, and executives who do not want to navigate a taxi rank in German. Because BER is about 25 km out, a known meeting point and a set price matter more than they did at the old Tegel.
Group arrivals on a single flight ride together from BER to one address in the Sprinter Van, and Potsdam-bound travellers can run straight from the terminal to Sanssouci without a second booking. Continue on the Berlin chauffeur service page to add an hourly day in the city.
When to book a Berlin airport transfer
The Berlinale
February's film festival fills Potsdamer Platz and Mitte hotels and spikes rideshare prices. Book BER transfers and venue runs well ahead for delegations, talent, and press.
ITB & IFA trade fairs
ITB Berlin travel and IFA consumer electronics at Messe Berlin draw huge visiting teams — pair a BER arrival with the Funkturm fairground run and a multi-stop day.
Group arrivals
For a family, wedding party, or team landing together, the Sprinter Van brings everyone from BER to one address in a single vehicle — reserve early in trade-fair season.
Early departures
Book the night before for early international departures, when central availability is thin and the 25 km run to BER needs a reliable, pre-arranged start.
