Travelling with reduced mobility

The driver helps you in and out and handles your luggage.

When walking is difficult, the distance between the door and the vehicle matters more than the journey itself. Door-to-door travel removes exactly that problem. It is equally important to be clear about what we do not offer, so nobody is caught out on the day.

What we can do

  • Pick you up at the door and help you to and from the car.
  • Carry a folding wheelchair, rollator or walking frame in the boot.
  • Assign a car with a higher seat when you ask for one.
  • Take a companion along at no extra cost; the price is per car.
  • Drop you at a specific hospital or terminal entrance.

What we do not offer

We do not operate specialised wheelchair-accessible vehicles for passengers who remain seated in their wheelchair, and our drivers are not trained to lift passengers. For those needs, contracted medical transport is the right service.

Booking with support in mind

  • Say in the comments what help you need at the door.
  • Mention any aid you are bringing and its folded size.
  • Add extra time so nothing has to be rushed.
  • Give a mobile number the driver can call on arrival.

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 the driver help me into the car?
Drivers help with balance, doors and luggage. They cannot lift a passenger; if lifting is needed, specialised transport is required.
Does a companion cost extra?
No. The fixed price covers the whole car, so a companion travels at no additional cost.
