taxi costsAlways a fixed price for your taxi

When you book a taxi at Staxi, you get a fixed price in advance. That’s different if you board a random taxi at Amsterdam Central Station, in which case you are a so-called ‘hailing customer’. Consequently, the driver is obliged to turn on his taxi meter. The rate per kilometer is almost €2.50. Add to that the boarding rate ánd the time rate.

When you pre-book your taxi through our website, the Staxi App or by phone, you’ll shift from being a hailing customer to being a pre-booking customer. In the Netherlands, and especially in Amsterdam, that’s a big difference.

Only when you pre-book with us, we can offer you a fixed price. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be hours or days in advance. Even if you’ve just arrived at Central Station, you can pre-book a taxi.

A fixed price with each Staxi reservation means:

✓ No metered fares
✓ No luggage surcharge
✓ No initial fee
✓ No nighttime surcharge
✓ No hidden costs

What’s more, you won’t be charged extra if you want to pay by card. A fully licensed and well-educated driver picks you up and brings you to your stated destination for a modest fare. Use our taxi fare finder or the Staxi App to calculate the price for your Staxi ride in no time.

Pick-up location at Amsterdam Central Station

When you need a pickup from the Central Station, your driver will await you at the Western Kiss & Ride on the riverside of the station. The Kiss & Ride is close to where the NDSM ferries depart, near the regular taxi stand and at Steiger 14.

Just before your requested pickup time, the driver will call you to see if you’re ready. Maybe the train is delayed, or you stopped at one of the shops at the station.

Important: if you are ready for departure, make sure you walk past the regular taxi rank, towards the Kiss & Ride at the side of the ferries. We’ll pick you up here. When you take a regular taxi from the stand, you pay a much higher metered fare and, unfortunately, not our agreed price. Taxis can’t pick you up in front of the Central Station.

From Amsterdam Central Station, your driver will take you quickly and safely to your destination.

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! 

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.

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!
