How much does a taxi cost? A question that often arises the moment you consider booking a taxi. At Staxi, you can calculate the total fare of your taxi ride easily. We offer fixed prices for every pre-booked taxi.

Use our online taxi fare calculator to find your fixed price. You can book a cab online, with the Staxi App, by WhatsApp or by phone.

  • The fixed price taxi

    Book a taxi for a fixed price. No surprises afterwards.

  • Safely from door to door

    Your driver takes the fastest route and brings you safely to your destination.

  • Licensed drivers

    Our professional drivers know their way around.

Our drivers are fully licensed, dedicated and offer excellent customer service. Equally important: the price that you book for is the amount you’ll eventually pay.

There are no hidden costs or surcharges, and our prices are always per ride, not per person. Better still, when you travel during off-peak hours, your taxi is even cheaper! Of course, our taxis are available day and night.

As mentioned above, Staxi offers fixed prices for every pre-booked taxi ride. Use the online taxi fare calculator or the Staxi App to find your fare within a minute. Simply tap the booking button, enter the address details and tell us how many people are travelling. We will automatically calculate the fare for your requested ride. All set? Then finalize your booking, and you’re on your way!

How is that possible? Why are their prices so reasonable? For starters, Staxi offers fixed prices for every pre-booked taxi ride. That means there are no surprises: no additional charges when you arrive at your destination and no unpleasant conversations about who will pay what proportion of the taxi fare. Secondly, if you book in advance on our website or app – which is easy and free – we guarantee that nobody will confront you with extra charges at any point.

Staxi’s Flex Fare

Just like a plane ticket or hotel stay, the price of a taxi ride can fluctuate. It’s a matter of supply and demand: at quiet moments, your taxi will be even cheaper!

Our peak and off-peak hours are dynamic. That is why it is essential to select the desired date and time when booking. You will then see the price that applies at that time.

How to book a cab?

You can book your cab either online, with Staxi’s App, by WhatsApp or by phone. Our taxis are available 24/7. Did you order a taxi with our app? You’ll find that it features an interactive map that will show you how close your driver is in relation to your location.

How to pay for your taxi?

If you prefer, you can prepay for your taxi when you book online or with our app. You’ll find multiple options to pay online. For instance, you can pay using iDeal or your credit card. Once you’ve reached your destination, you’ll receive an invoice automatically if you’ve paid in advance.

Secondly, you can pay on-site when you get out of the taxi. Whether you want to pay with cash or by card, it’s up to you! The driver will give you an itemized receipt before you leave.

Cheap taxi service

Our fixed prices are quite affordable, even if we say so ourselves. Once you’ve entered the ride details in the online fare finder or Staxi App and determined the total cost, you’ll probably agree. However, you can also contact us if you would like to know how much your trip will cost before you start. We’ll provide you with an instant, all-in price and help you make sure everything is clear before you board our cab.

Why choose Staxi?

Other than our low rates, it’s nice to know your driver is a dedicated professional and well educated at our own Staxi Academy. Wherever you need to go, we can ensure a timely pickup and safe transfer.

With Staxi’s taxi fares, you know how much it will cost before you travel. That certainty is just one more reason why many people choose us for their transportation needs in The Netherlands.

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!
