Amsterdam Taxi costs

How much are taxis in Amsterdam?

That’s a good question. And a fair question, because the price for a taxi in Amsterdam can vary quite a bit. The driver will drive on the meter when you hail a cab or get in at a stand. The fare quickly rises: per kilometer, the meter charges almost € 2.50, and then there is the rate per minute ánd the starting rate to be added.

But when you book a taxi through Staxi, there is no longer any doubt about the cost. Enter the pick-up address and destination, and you will immediately know the total costs for your taxi in Amsterdam. A few examples:

From Buikslotermeerplein to Gelderlandplein
Metered fare: €49.08 to €52.59
👉🏼 At Staxi from: €39.50

From Plein ’40 ’45 to the Dappermarkt
Metered fare: €39 to €59.40
👉🏼 At Staxi from: € 30.50

From Blijburg Beach to the DeLaMar theater
Metered fare: € 44.35 to € 52.29
👉🏼 At Staxi from: € 38.25

Staxi’s Flex Fare

We work with peak and off-peak tariffs. In any case, it’s cheaper when you pre-book your Staxi (as opposed to boarding a random taxicab on the street or at a taxi stand). But when the supply of Staxi’s exceeds the demand, you’re even cheaper off.

Travelling during off-peak hours is the best way to save money on your next Amsterdam taxi. For example, suppose you’re travelling from Eastern Docklands (Oostelijk havengebied) to Schiphol Airport. In that case, this is what our Flex Fare will save you:

Metered fare: approx. € 66 to € 72
Staxi rate: € 39
Staxi’s Flex Fare: € 31.20

We’re flexible with our off-peak hours. Make sure you enter the date and time you want to travel in our online taxi fare calculator or the Staxi App. You’ll then see how much your Amsterdam taxi costs at that particular time.

Taxi prices without reservation

Did you hail a taxi on the street, or did you get in at a taxi rank? Then the driver used the taximeter to set the fare. The meter rates are listed on this page, but you can always find them in the taxi as well.

In 2022, the costs per kilometer travelled are € 2.47 for a sedan and € 3.11 for a taxi van. Then there’s the boarding rate and the rate per minute.

It’s no secret that taxis can rack up some hefty bills. For instance, when there’s a roadblock and the driver has to make a detour, the fare quickly rises. Or maybe your ride takes much longer than expected, and the price increases accordingly. That’s not unthinkable: when driving on the meter, the taxi driver is obliged to take the shortest (but not per se the fastest) route possible.

Cheap Amsterdam taxi

Taking a taxi is often cheaper than travelling by public transport if you’re with a group. Are you visiting Amsterdam by car? In that case, you will have high parking costs too. One hour of parking in the city center will set you back no less than € 7.50.

Instead, you can book a taxi bus with us and enjoy the ride, knowing you’ve just saved yourself a lot of money (and headache). You don’t have to worry about parking fees, finding parking spaces, or trying to find your car again when you return. Instead, we’ll transport you from door to door comfortably with Staxi.

With the all-in price you get at Staxi, you know what you’ll pay down to the cent and save money compared to taking a taxi on the street.

Always a fixed price for your Amsterdam taxi

At Staxi, there are no monetary surprises: you get a fixed price with every reservation.

✓ No starting rate
✓ No meter price
✓ No waiting rate
✓ No hidden costs

In addition, we do not charge a night surcharge or luggage surcharge. You also don’t have to pay anything extra if several people are travelling with you or if you want to pay with your debit or credit card.

One common occurrence in Amsterdam is trucks loading and unloading along the canals. That always ends with a long row of cars delayed behind the vehicle they cannot pass. Now, imagine yourself in a taxi behind the truck, waiting for the delivery guys to unload. Your only focus is that taximeter that’s happily ticking away. You’re not even going anywhere, yet the price increases steadily. 

See, getting a taxi through Staxi is an excellent idea 😄
