Taxis & Rideshare in Interlaken (2026) - Grab, Uber & More

Interlaken's taxi scene is straightforward: licensed local taxis are the only rideshare-style option, as Grab and other international apps do not operate here. You'll find official taxi ranks outside both Interlaken West and Interlaken Ost train stations, plus a few additional stands along the Höheweg promenade and at larger hotels. Cars are metered and clearly marked. Drivers speak enough English for basic directions. To hail one on the street, simply raise your hand, availability is generally good, during daylight and peak tourist periods. If you're calling ahead, hotel concierges or restaurant staff can phone a local company for you, or you can look up the phone numbers posted at the taxi stands. Choose a taxi when you have luggage, are traveling in a group, or need door-to-door service late at night when buses have stopped. For short hops within the twin towns (Interlaken to Unterseen, for example) taxis are the fastest option, though they typically cost several times more than the frequent local buses. If you're heading up to mountain cable-car bases such as Harder Kulm or Grindelwald-First, a taxi eliminates the short uphill walk from the nearest bus stop and keeps your gear dry in poor weather. Always confirm the approximate fare before starting the ride, and check current rates in the booking widget below if you'd like to compare comfort versus public-transport costs.
