- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €30 - €45. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Confirm the meter is running before departure. Metered daytime fare to the centre is roughly EUR 30 to 45 depending on exact destination and traffic. Refuse drivers who quote flat high prices up front.
- Best alternative: S-Bahn line S2 or S3 from Stuttgart Airport station, arriving at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (central station) (€3.70)
- Tickets must be validated before boarding by stamping them in the blue or yellow validation machines on the platform or inside the vehicle. Contactless bank card tap-in is not available on all lines. Forgetting to validate is treated as travelling without a valid ticket. Fine without a valid ticket: €60.
- Tipping is common but not obligatory, about 5 to 10% in restaurants. Round up taxi fares. No tip expected for counter service or takeaway.
- No mandatory cover charge is common in Stuttgart. A service charge is generally included in the bill. Some tourist-area spots may add small bread or cover charges; check the menu before ordering, and walk away if prices are not displayed.
- Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer ATMs attached to major banks. Independent ATMs in tourist areas may charge higher fees. Check the fee screen before completing a withdrawal.
