The price is agreed before you book. No meter, no surge pricing.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport to Schloss Sanssouci is 52 km by road and takes about 42 min in normal traffic. A private fixed-price transfer runs door to door with no changes, from €108 for up to 3 passengers, agreed in full before you travel.
Schloss Sanssouci lies 52 km from Berlin Brandenburg Airport. A private transfer turns that into a single 42 min drive: your driver is waiting when you land, your luggage goes straight into the car, and the fare was settled at booking.
The transfer is priced on the whole journey, not on a meter, so traffic on the day does not change what you pay. Your driver monitors the flight number you give at booking and adjusts the pickup if you land early or late, with 60 minutes of waiting time included after touchdown — long enough to clear passport control and baggage reclaim without anyone watching a clock. We price the surrounding towns the same way — Ludwigsfelde is a separate route from the same airport.
People heading to a landmark rarely need a one-way trip. The driver can wait on site and bring you back, or return at an agreed time — either way it is quoted at booking as a single fixed price rather than billed by the hour.
Your driver meets you inside arrivals with a name sign, helps with the bags, and walks you to the car. No hunting for a rank, no explaining the address to someone who does not know it, and no surprise on the meter at the far end. Every destination we cover from this airport is listed on Berlin Brandenburg Airport Transfers.
Transfers on this route run around the clock, and the fare does not change with the hour — there is no night surcharge between Berlin Brandenburg Airport and Schloss Sanssouci. That matters most on the arrivals and departures public transport handles worst: a 05:30 check-in, or a landing after the last useful train. On arrival the pickup is driven by your flight rather than the clock, with 60 minutes of waiting included after touchdown, so a delayed inbound moves the car instead of forfeiting the booking.
Delay on this route is not spread evenly along it. Traffic leaves Berlin Brandenburg Airport on the A113, joining the B96a for the longer part of the run, and it is the few kilometres at each end — the airport approach and the streets around Schloss Sanssouci — that move a 42 min journey by a quarter of an hour, not the motorway in between. That is the part worth knowing when you are choosing a pickup time for a departure, because it is where a buffer actually earns its place. It is also why this journey is priced on the route rather than on the clock: the variable stretch is precisely the stretch nobody can promise.
At the address you booked, and that is the whole of the difference. Public transport ends at a stop, and the distance between that stop and the place you are actually going is the part no timetable prices. A private transfer is quoted from Berlin Brandenburg Airport to the door, so the last mile is inside the fare rather than an unknown at the end of it. Hotels, private addresses, offices and venues are all the same booking; if the address is hard to find, or it is a building with a specific entrance, put it in the booking notes and the driver has it before setting off rather than at the kerb.
A saloon takes 3 passengers with 3 large cases; the van seats 7 with luggage to match, and a minibus covers groups up to 16. Tell us the real count at booking — including pushchairs, skis, golf bags or instrument cases — and the right vehicle is assigned rather than guessed. Infant, child and booster seats are specified at booking and are not charged as an extra. If your group needs more than one car, the whole group is quoted as a single fixed price rather than as separate bookings that can drift apart on the day.

Straight answer
Is a private transfer the right choice? Public transport from Berlin Brandenburg Airport is cheaper if you are travelling alone with hand luggage and your destination is close to a station. A private transfer earns its price when there are two or more of you, when you land late or very early, when you have heavy or awkward luggage, or when Schloss Sanssouci is not somewhere the timetable serves conveniently. We will say so plainly: for a solo traveller on a flexible schedule, the train is often the better buy.
Side by side
| Way of travelling | Journey time | What you pay | Where it leaves you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | 42 min | €108 fixed, for up to 3 passengers | The address you booked |
| Taxi from the rank | 42 min, plus whatever the traffic does | Metered — not known until you arrive | The address you booked |
Split 3 ways, the €108 fare is €36 a head — a rail ticket is priced per person, this one is priced per car.
Journey time and distance are measured on the road graph this route is priced from. Rail times are the fastest scheduled service and are shown only where we have verified one. We publish no figure for a metered taxi because the tariff is set locally and the fare is not known in advance — which is the difference this table exists to show.
What is included
Agreed in full before you book. Traffic, tolls and airport charges are already in it — the meter does not exist.
We watch the flight number you give us. Land early or three hours late and the pickup moves with you, at no extra cost.
Your driver waits inside arrivals holding a name sign, helps with the luggage and walks you to the car.
Free waiting time after touchdown — enough for passport control and baggage reclaim without anyone watching a clock.
From the exact address to the exact address. Not to the nearest station, and not to a rank at the end of the road.
Infant, child and booster seats specified at booking. They are not charged as an extra.
Cancel up to 24 hours before pickup at no charge. Plans change; that is not something to be fined for.
Licensed, insured, English- and German-speaking, and briefed on your journey before they set off.
Business travel
Most of what a company needs from a transfer is not a discount — it is knowing the number before the journey, and knowing somebody will be standing there holding the right name. Both are how this service already works.
Name a colleague, a client or a candidate as the passenger and put your own address on the confirmation. The driver holds their name at arrivals; the booking, the changes and the receipt stay with you.
The fare is fixed before you book, so it goes into an approval or onto an expense claim as a known number rather than an estimate. Traffic on the day changes the journey, never the amount.
Flight tracking moves the pickup with the aircraft, and the driver waits inside arrivals with a name board rather than texting from a car park. Someone you are trying to impress should not have to find anybody.
A group that outgrows a van is quoted as the combination of vehicles that actually seats it, priced per car and confirmed as one booking — not turned away at the vehicle list.
If your company runs this journey more than occasionally, it is worth a conversation rather than a form. Tell us the routes and the volume and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right operator for it.

FAQ
The drive covers 52 km and takes about 42 min in normal traffic. Rush hour around the airport can add to that, which is why the pickup time is set from your flight rather than from a fixed timetable.
Fares for this route start at €108 for up to 3 passengers in an Economy car, €113 for Business Class and €124 for a van seating up to 7. The price is quoted in full before you book and does not change with traffic or waiting time.
The fare is fixed at booking and covers the whole journey including tolls and any airport access charge. There is no meter, no surge pricing and no per-minute charge for time spent in traffic.
Flights are tracked using the number given at booking, and the pickup moves with the actual landing time at no extra cost. 60 minutes of free waiting are included after touchdown, which covers immigration and baggage reclaim on a normal arrival.
An Economy or Business car seats up to 3 passengers with 3 suitcases; a van takes up to 7 passengers. Larger groups are covered by a minibus or by more than one vehicle, quoted together as a single price.
Public transport from Berlin Brandenburg Airport is usually cheaper for one person travelling with hand luggage to a destination near a station. A private transfer is the better value with two or more passengers, with heavy luggage, or on an early-morning or late-night arrival when services are thin.
You can pay the driver at the end of the journey rather than in advance — there is no prepayment required to hold the booking. Card and online payment are accepted (visa, mastercard, amex, paypal), and cash is accepted in the car. Business accounts can be invoiced monthly instead, with cost centres and traveller names on the invoice. The amount is the fare you were quoted; nothing is added afterwards unless you asked for it on the day.
A day ahead is comfortable for a saloon on a normal weekday and a few hours is usually enough. Book further ahead for a van, for a group needing more than one vehicle, for pickups between midnight and five, and for any week when Schloss Sanssouci or Berlin is holding a trade fair — during a big Messe the vehicles in a region genuinely run out, and that is the one time the answer to a late booking is no.
Yes — a second address, a hotel before an office, or a short wait somewhere en route. Tell us at booking so it is priced into the fixed fare rather than settled at the roadside, which is the part that goes wrong when it is arranged in the car. A stop added on the day is possible and is agreed with the office rather than with the driver.
Assistance dogs travel on every booking, always, and are never charged for. Other animals are carried by arrangement: tell us the animal and the carrier at booking and we will assign a vehicle and a driver for it rather than have you find out at the kerb. What we cannot do is take an unannounced animal — not every driver and not every car is suitable, and a refusal at Berlin Brandenburg Airport with your luggage already out is the worst possible moment to discover that.
