Get the certificate before the rank. The fixed price exists only on the City's certificate from the e-kiosks; without it the ride is on the meter, and the airport tells you to hand the certificate to the first car in the queue.

The center is zone 2, RSD 3,500 — Not the cheapest zone. Zone 1 at RSD 2,700 is Novi Beograd. Republic Square, Terazije, Slavija, the old town and the main station are all in zone 2.

Four passengers at most, by the City's seat cap and the airport's rule; five people are two cars and RSD 7,000.

No authority states a taxi journey time. The 30 to 45 minutes here are the airport's own figure for its express minibus over the same road and the City's scheduled time for it, not a taxi figure.

Between 02:30 and 04:30 it is the only thing that leaves, at the same RSD 3,500; the price does not change at night.

Complaints go to the City, not the airport: the Secretariat for Inspection, inspekcija@beograd.gov.rs, or 11-0-11 from a local line.
