Taxi to the airport with children

With children, the journey to the airport is not the hard part — the transfers are. A pushchair, a car seat, three suitcases and a tired four-year-old do not combine well with a train platform at six in the morning. A door-to-door transfer removes every transfer from the equation. Here is how to plan it.

Child seats and safety

  • You may bring and fit your own child seat; mention it when booking.
  • Dutch rules require children under 1.35 m to use a suitable restraint.
  • A booster seat is compact and easy to take on the flight.
  • Tell us how many children and what ages, so we plan the right car.

Timing with children

  • Add 30 minutes to the standard margin for check-in with a family.
  • Plan the pick-up so nobody has to be woken more than once.
  • Keep snacks, water and one favourite toy within reach in the car.
  • A buggy counts as luggage; it usually travels in the boot.

Luggage and space

A family of four with a week's luggage and a pushchair often needs more space than a saloon car offers. If you enter four or more large suitcases, the system selects a minibus automatically — and with young children, the extra room is worth it regardless of the suitcase count.

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 you provide child seats?
We do not supply seats, but you are welcome to bring and fit your own. Tell us when booking so the driver expects it.
Can the buggy come along?
Yes. It travels in the boot and counts as a piece of luggage when you fill in the booking form.
