By Taxi http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/GK/GK_EN_2_2_2_3.jsp If you find it difficult to take the Airport Bus, you might want to take a taxi. Exit Incheon Airport through any gate between Gates 4 and 8 of the passenger terminal (arrival area), cross the street, and go to the taxi stands (4D-8C). It is not unusual to be approached by a taxi driver inside the passenger terminal, but we suggest ignoring them and follow the standard protocol.

Depending on your destination, the fare for a standard taxi from Incheon International Airport to downtown Seoul can be anywhere from 55,000 to 100,000 won ($45-$80 USD). Also, the 8,000 won ($7 USD) (small-sized car) toll for the Incheon International Airport Expressway is the responsibility of the passenger, not the driver.

If by chance a driver tries to take advantage of you by demanding an inflated fare, take a picture of the license plate or driver's ID (usually displayed on the dashboard) and report the incident to the Seoul Global Center (+82-2-731-6800~1), which offers services in English, Japanese, Chinese, Tagalog, Mongolian, Vietnamese and Russian. You can also report your complaint to the Dasan Call Center which offers services in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese (+82-2-120).

We suggest that you have the name of the hotel in Korean as well as the address in Korean prepared in advance to show the taxi driver. Most taxis are equipped with a GPS system, so the driver can enter the name of the destination or address in the GPS. The Korean addresses and names of Kintex and some hotels have been listed at the end of this document.
