    How much does a Kela taxi cost?

    Own share and the annual ceiling for Kela taxi trips.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    Kela says the own share for a Kela taxi is up to 25 euros per one-way trip. When your own shares for travel in a calendar year reach the annual ceiling of 300 euros, Kela reimburses further trips in full for the rest of the year. The driver charges the own share when the trip is booked through Kela's number and you show your Kela card.

    Why

    1. Kela gives the own share as up to 25 euros one way.
    2. Kela gives the annual ceiling as 300 euros.
    3. Kela reimburses further trips once the ceiling is reached.

    Details

    Kela tracks your own shares for trips booked through its system. Keep receipts for other travel costs to health care in case you need them.

    Tip

    Book through Kela's regional number. Trips ordered another way are not reimbursed as Kela taxis.

    What may differ

    Amounts can change from year to year. Check Kela's website for the current figures.

    Common misconception

    A Kela taxi is always completely free.
