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. When you hail a cab or get in at a stand, the driver will drive on the taximeter. The fare quickly rises: per kilometer, the meter charges more than € 2.50, and then there’s the rate per minute ánd the starting rate.
But when you book a taxi through Staxi, there is no longer any worry about the fee. Enter the pick-up address and destination, and you will immediately know the total costs for your taxi in Amsterdam. Here are a few examples:
From Buikslotermeerplein to Gelderlandplein
Metered fare: approx. € 56.13
👉🏼 At Staxi from: € 45.75
From Plein 40-45 to the Dappermarkt
Metered fare: approx. € 49.47
👉🏼 At Staxi from: € 35.50
From Blijburg Beach to the DeLaMar theater
Metered fare: approx. € 60.89
👉🏼 At Staxi from: € 52
Amsterdam Taxi Fare Calculator

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. We’re flexible with our off-peak hours. Please 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 get in at a taxi rank? Then the driver used the taximeter to set the fare. You’ll find the meter rates further down on this page, but you will always find them in the taxi too.
In 2023, the costs per kilometer travelled are € 2.65 for a sedan and € 3.34 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 must take the shortest (but not per se the fastest) route possible.
Cheap Amsterdam taxi
Taking a taxi is often cheaper than public transport 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 saved 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. 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 😄

What is the price for a taxi?
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.

How long in advance should I book the taxi?
Staxi has no minimum or maximum reservation time. You can order a taxi at any time.
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.
How do I pay for the taxi?
At Staxi you can pay for your taxi in any way you like. Because we work with fixed prices, it is possible to pay in advance via your trusted payment environment such as iDeal, Sofort or PayPal.
Would you rather pay on-site with the driver? That’s possible too! Our drivers accept cash as well as debit and credit card payments. Without any extra costs, of course!
