How much are taxis in Amsterdam?
That’s a valid question, considering the taxi prices in Amsterdam can vary significantly. When you flag down a cab or hop in at a taxi stand, the driver activates the taximeter. The fare increases rapidly: over € 2.95 per kilometer, additional charges for each minute, and an initial starting rate.
However, when booking a taxi through Staxi, there’s no need to stress about the fare. Enter the pickup and destination, and you’ll instantly know the total cost of your Amsterdam taxi. Here are a few examples:
From Buikslotermeerplein to Gelderlandplein
Metered fare: approx. € 61.68

Taxi prices without reservation
If you flagged down a taxi on the street or boarded one at a taxi rank, the driver should utilize the taximeter to determine the fare. That means you don’t know the costs until you arrive at your destination.
As of 2024, the costs per kilometer travelled are €2.96 for a sedan and €3.72 for a taxi van. In addition, there’s the starting fee and the rate per minute.
It’s no secret that taxis can rack up some hefty bills. For example, the fare quickly increases if a roadblock requires a detour. Alternatively, if your journey takes longer than anticipated, the price follows suit. This is not uncommon since, when using the meter, taxi drivers must take the shortest route (though not necessarily the fastest).
Taximeter fares 2024
| Vehicle type | Initial fee | Cost per km | Cost per minute | Waiting rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | € 4.02 | € 2.96 | € 0.49 | € 55.35/hour |
| Minibus taxi | € 8.17 | € 3.72 | € 0.55 | € 55.35/hour |
Cheap Amsterdam taxi
Taking a taxi is often cheaper than public transport, especially when travelling in a group. If you’re visiting Amsterdam by car, be prepared for high parking costs too. Parking in the city center for just one hour can cost you a hefty €7.50.
Opting for a taxi bus ensures a comfortable ride ánd significant savings (and less stress). Forget about concerns over parking fees, hunting for parking spots, or the challenge of locating your car later on. Instead, relax as we transport you seamlessly from door to door with Staxi.
With the all-inclusive price provided by Staxi, you’ll know what you’re paying down to the last cent, saving money compared to flagging down a taxi on the street.

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.
