Taxi to a train station

Door-to-door to the station, even with plenty of luggage.

A station transfer is a short ride with a hard deadline, which is exactly the combination that goes wrong when you leave it to chance on the day. Book it in advance and the driver is at your door with the train time already accounted for.

Planning the timing

  • Be at the station 10 minutes before a domestic train, 30 for an international one.
  • Add a margin for rush hour between 07:00–09:00 and 16:00–19:00.
  • Tell us the train number so we plan around it.
  • For a pick-up at the station, 15 minutes of free waiting time applies.

Where the driver meets you

At most stations the driver waits at the official taxi rank; at larger stations we name a specific pick-up point in your confirmation email, along with the driver's phone number. For a pick-up at your home address, no house number can be skipped: the driver needs the exact door.

When a station taxi is worth it

  • Early trains before local buses start running.
  • Late arrivals after regional services have stopped.
  • Heavy luggage you would rather not carry up a platform ramp.
  • Travelling with children or with reduced mobility.
  • A village or business park with no direct connection.

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.

  • Fixed price per journey, confirmed by email before the driver is assigned.
  • Sedan or estate car for 1-4 passengers, minibus for 5-8 passengers.
  • Extra stops along the way can be added while booking.
  • Changes and cancellations online up to 24 hours before pickup; call 085 060 7086 within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to enter the station's address?
No, the station name is enough. For your home or hotel we do need the street, house number and postcode.
What if my train is late?
You have 15 minutes of free waiting time at the station. If you will be later, call the driver on the number in your confirmation email.
