Book your taxi from Schiphol to Leiden

When you book a cheap taxi with us, you will know within a minute what the cab ride will cost you. You don’t need to book days or weeks in advance. Even if you have just arrived at the airport, you can make a reservation by ordering:

In both cases, you will know the fare before you get in the taxi. After you have made your booking, you will receive a confirmation by email. It may end up in your spam box, so please check that as well!

Pick up taxi Schiphol to Leiden

“Where do I find my pre-booked taxi at the airport?” A fair question. We have a lot of experience with picking up passengers at Schiphol, which we would like to share with you.

The dispatcher will contact you via WhatsApp as soon as your flight has landed. You can connect to the “Airport_Free_Wifi” if you don’t have an internet connection. Then send us a message back once you have collected all your luggage.

We will pick you up at the Staxi Pick Up Point, which is located on the departure level above. Go to Departure Hall 3, exit door D. Your taxi will be waiting for you in the outside lane.

Get in the right taxi from Schiphol to Leiden

You must get into the taxi that the dispatcher has designated for you. Only this driver knows your destination and the agreed-upon fare.

Many affiliated drivers offer their taxi services at the official taxi rank at the airport. Without a doubt, these are qualified taxi drivers. The only thing is that the drivers at the cab stand are operating in the taxi-hailing market, as opposed to the pre-booked cab market.

The difference is that the taxi rank drivers will always charge a fare on a meter basis. The driver we have selected to pick you up will transport you for the fixed price you have agreed upon.

Your designated driver will then also be able to show that he has received the details of your ride on his taxi board computer or dispatch app. If you are not sure if you are getting into the right taxi, you can always ask the driver to show you the trip details.

Of course, you can also always contact the dispatch center if you have any questions. You can also book a taxi bus with us. Make sure to book your cheap taxi from Leiden to Schiphol with Staxi!

A brief history of Leiden

Leiden has a lively history. The first signs of habitation date from 2000 BC. The oldest known mention of the city, which was then called Leithon, dates from 860 AD.

The charter containing the Leiden city rights, issued by Count Floris V in 1266 is considered the birth certificate of the city of Leiden. Count Floris confirmed the rights already given by his predecessors and added some more. The first city rights probably date from before 1200.

On October 3, 1574, Leiden freed itself from Spanish occupation during the Eighty Years’ War. Residents still celebrate the liberation of Leiden with hotspot, herring, white bread, and many great feasts.

Shortly after the Relief of Leiden, William I of Orange founded the first Dutch university in Leiden. The university was inaugurated on February 8, 1575 in the Pieterskerk. Prince William I of Orange funded the educational institution as a reward for the heroic defense of Leiden against the Spaniards.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Leiden was an epicenter, both scientifically and artistically. Rembrandt was born here, famous philosophers such as Baruch Spinoza visited Leiden, and Albert Einstein was an extraordinary professor at Leiden University from 1920 to 1946.

When you book a taxi with us, you will get a fixed price in advance. The exact cost depends on several things.

The distance of the ride

Of course, you will pay less for a shorter ride. However, our rate per kilometre decreases as the total distance increases. That is unique because most drivers use their taximeter, which charges a fixed amount for each kilometre. As a result, you are off cheaper with Staxi than with other taxi companies. 

The type of vehicle

A ride in a regular taxi is cheaper than a ride in a taxi van. When you pre-book your taxi with us, the difference in costs between a minivan and sedan is smaller than when you flag down a cab on the street or get in at a taxi rank. In that case, the driver will charge the meter rate, which is more expensive than our fixed rates.

Supply and demand

Just like a plane ticket or a night in a hotel, the fare for the same trip can fluctuate, depending on supply and demand. For example: in extreme weather conditions, such as heavy snow, the need for taxi transport increases rapidly, which makes the price rise. The same journey can also be a lot cheaper, for instance, travelling at a quiet time. 

As such, Staxi works with peak and off-peak hours. Our software automatically adjusts the fares based on supply and demand. In quiet moments, you will travel even cheaper with Staxi.

Calculate the fare for your taxi ride easily with our taxi fare calculator or via the Staxi App! 

That depends on the location where you want to be picked up. Usually, there is a minimum booking time of 60 minutes. In some areas, it is longer and in others shorter. 

Tip: When you book a taxi with the Staxi App, you can see precisely where the driver is and what time he or she will arrive.

At Staxi you can pay for your taxi in any way you like. Because we work with fixed prices, it is possible to pre-pay via your trusted payment environment such as iDeal, Sofort or PayPal. Of course, you can also pay securely online with your credit card. Without extra costs!
