We would like to introduce some of the most common questions received from users of the Fukuoka City Taxi Association.
Please feel free to use this information if you have any questions or concerns about using a taxi.
- What should I Do if I Leave Something behind in the Taxi?
-
Please report it to the nearest police box or police station. The Fukuoka City Taxi Association does not handle lost items.
- How long does it take and how much does it cost to travel between Fukuoka Airport, Hakata, Tenjin, and the Hakata-Tenjin area?
- How Can I Find out about Taxi Fares and Travel Times?
-
Please use our fare calculator.
- Why Do Fares Differ for the Same Route?
-
Taxi fares are calculated using a “time-distance combined system,” where the meter increases based on time when speed falls below a certain limit due to traffic congestion.
As a result, fare differences may occur for the same distance traveled due to road conditions such as traffic congestion.
- I want to know about taxi companies that have large, extra-large, and Universal Design taxis (NV200/JAPAN).

Please check our member companies list.
- Please Tell Me about the Discount for those with a Disability Certificate.

A 10% discount will be applied upon presentation of a physical disability certificate, a rehabilitation certificate for people with intellectual disabilities, or a mental disability welfare certificate.
- Is it Possible to Use a Disability Certificate and a Welfare Taxi Ticket Together?
-
Yes, it is possible. Please present your disability certificate, and pay the difference after deducting the welfare taxi ticket from the fare, which has already been discounted by 10%.

A 10% discount will be applied when you present your “Driving Record Certificate.”
However, age requirements vary by taxi company, so please contact each taxi company directly.
