Current fixed prices

These amounts come straight from the Taxiritje.nl price calculation. Enter your exact address in the calculator to see your own price.

Calculation example

From Barendrecht, a taxi to Rotterdam Centraal costs €50 and a taxi van costs €70. Two taxis together cost €100, so the van saves €30 and you travel together.

When are two taxis better?

If the group needs to leave at different times or go to different addresses, separate rides are more convenient.

Why checking this in advance makes a difference

The question 'when do you need a taxi van, and is it cheaper than two sedans/estates' usually doesn't arise without reason. You want to arrive on time, avoid surprises, and know what to expect on the day. A good comparison doesn't start with a single amount, but with the entire journey. Consider the number of travellers, luggage, transfers, the time of day, and the distance between the station or car park and your final destination.

The best preparation aligns with your own situation. What is economical for one traveller may not be for a family or group. Therefore, calculate per person and also compare the convenience of door-to-door travel. This way, you make a choice that suits the actual journey.

How to apply this to your own journey

Compare the options for the actual date and time you are travelling. Schedules, availability, and busyness can vary by day, while a pre-calculated taxi price is visible before booking. Use the details of the actual traveller, even if someone else is making the booking.

After calculating, take a moment to check all the details before you pay. This way, the practical information from this article doesn't just remain theory, but becomes a journey that has been clearly and calmly prepared.

In short

Travelling together at the same time? Then one taxi van is usually more economical and easier.
