Travelling as a group

23 June 2026 · 4 min read

One minibus for the whole group usually beats separate cars.

Group travel goes wrong in the details: three pick-up addresses, one person running late, and luggage that does not fit the car that turned up. A little planning turns it into the cheapest and easiest way to travel.

One minibus or two cars?

Keeping it simple

  • Use one pick-up address; extra stops lengthen the route and the price.
  • Nominate one person as the contact for the driver.
  • Agree a meeting time 10 minutes before the pick-up.
  • Count the luggage honestly before you book.
  • Book at least three days ahead for a minibus.

Cost per person

Because the price covers the vehicle, dividing it by the number of passengers usually produces a figure well below individual train tickets for the same journey — and everyone arrives together, at the same moment, at the same door.

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

Can we be picked up at different addresses?
Yes, by adding extra stops. Each stop lengthens the route, and the price shown when booking already reflects that.
How do we split the payment?
One person pays online and the group settles between themselves. We invoice the ride as a single amount.
