When is a taxi the smartest choice?

Strong reasons to take a taxi

• You must arrive at a fixed time: a flight, a hospital appointment, a wedding.
• You are travelling outside normal service hours.
• You have luggage that makes transfers unpleasant or impossible.
• You are two or more people, so the cost is shared.
• Your start or end point is poorly connected.
• Someone in the group has limited mobility.
• You would otherwise have to park an expensive car somewhere for days.

Reasons to choose something else

• A single traveller going centre to centre in daylight — take the train.
• A few tram stops in a city with hand luggage — take the tram.
• A day of many stops spread across a region — use your own car.

The decisive advantage: a price agreed in advance

When you do choose a taxi, the main risk is not the base fare but the uncertainty: a meter that keeps running in traffic, an unexpected detour, a surcharge you did not budget for. Agreeing the price beforehand removes that risk and makes the comparison with other options honest.

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.
