Travelling with pets in a taxi

What to arrange when booking

• State the type and size of animal in the comments.
• Small pets travel in a carrier on the back seat or in the boot.
• Larger dogs need space in an estate or minibus, secured properly.
• Assistance dogs always travel with you.

Keeping the animal comfortable

• Walk a dog shortly before departure.
• Avoid a large meal in the hour before travelling.
• Bring a blanket that smells of home for the carrier.
• Take water for longer journeys.

Vet visits and airport travel

For a vet appointment, book the return leg as a separate ride, since you rarely know exactly how long you will be. For flights, check your airline's rules on carriers and documentation well in advance — those requirements are stricter than anything the taxi journey involves.

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.
