What happens if my flight is delayed and I've booked a taxi?

Good to know before you travel

With the provided flight number, we track the landing, and the pick-up time shifts with the delay. The driver is obliged to wait for up to 80 minutes after the actual landing. If it takes longer, you can discuss together whether the driver can continue waiting and what amount is appropriate as compensation or a tip. If the flight is cancelled in advance, please inform us; we will move the journey to the new flight date and time.

Why the flight number is important

Without a flight number, we cannot see that you will be landing later. So, always enter it for a pick-up journey from Schiphol.

Why checking this in advance makes a difference

The question 'what happens if my flight is delayed and I've booked a taxi?' usually doesn't arise out of nowhere. You want to arrive on time, avoid surprises, and know what to expect on the day itself. An airport journey usually starts hours before the flight. Precisely for this reason, a clear pick-up address, sufficient time margin, and the correct flight details provide peace of mind on a day when you want to leave nothing to chance.

The best preparation aligns with your own situation. Don't just look at the scheduled flight time. The journey to the airport, check-in, baggage drop-off, and potential busyness also take time. For a pick-up journey after landing, a correct flight number and an accessible phone number are at least as important.

How to apply this to your own journey

The evening before, check your booking confirmation, flight number, and the number of suitcases. Turn your phone back on after landing. This allows the driver to stay in contact if the situation at the airport develops differently than expected. Use the details of the actual traveller, even if someone else makes the booking.

After calculating, take a moment to check all details before paying. This way, the practical information from this article doesn't just remain theory, but becomes a journey that has been clearly and calmly prepared.

In short

Enter your flight number, and you won't have to worry about delays.

How booking a taxi with Taxiritje.nl works

Prices are based on the actual road distance in kilometres between your pickup address and your destination, so you always know the amount before you book. Payment is online by card or iDEAL, and you receive a confirmation by email with the driver details, the pickup time and an invoice with VAT for business trips.

You book online in a few steps. Enter your pickup address with house number and postcode, add your destination and choose the date and time. The price you see is the price you pay: it already includes luggage, tolls, parking at the airport and waiting time, so there is no meter running during the journey and no surcharge at night or at the weekend.

Reservations are possible up to three hours before pickup, and you can book a one-way trip or a return in the same booking. For flights you enter your flight number; we then follow the actual landing time and include up to 80 minutes of free waiting time at the airport. For a pickup at a home or hotel address we include 15 minutes.
