How much will my taxi cost? You naturally want clarity on the fare, especially in these times. That’s why Staxi applies fixed prices for every taxi ride you book with us.

When it comes to taxi costs, there’s a crucial difference between a pre-booked taxi and one hailed on the street. You’ll always pay a metered rate if you flag down a driver at a taxi stand or on the street. The costs only become apparent upon reaching your destination. However, you’ll know the exact fare upfront when you pre-book your taxi with Staxi.
How much does a taxi cost without a reservation?
Does this sound familiar? You get in a taxi and state your destination. The driver starts the taximeter. However, it doesn’t begin at a friendly €0; there’s already a few euros on it before you’ve driven an inch!
For every kilometer, the meter charges more than €2.50, plus a per-minute rate. The price seems to escalate rapidly, which can be pretty surprising.
Metered pricing is mandatory if you haven’t pre-booked. That’s why we can only provide a fixed price if you reserve your taxi with us. Book a Staxi, and you’ll know what you’ll pay before the journey starts.
Pre-booking saves you a lot of money. Take a look at these example calculations:
Kurhaus, Scheveningen to Schiphol
> Meter Rate: from €167.37
> With Staxi: €109.75
Schiphol to Hilversum Media Park
> Meter Rate: from €154.86
> With Staxi: €74.50
Amsterdam Centraal to Rotterdam Centraal
> Meter Rate: from €270.01
> With Staxi: €147.75
In the table below, you’ll find the data that the taximeter uses to determine the fare.
| 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 |

Staxi’s Flex Fare
Similar to a flight or hotel booking, the price of a taxi ride can fluctuate. That is due to demand and supply; quieter times mean more affordable rides.
Our peak and off-peak hours are dynamic, so a trip at 1:00 PM may be cheaper than during the morning rush hour. What is always 100% certain when booking a Staxi is that the price you see is also the price you pay. Our rate is all-in, without surprises or extra costs.
Book a fixed-price taxi
After calculating the taxi costs, booking your fixed-priced taxi takes just one more step. Quickly pay through our booking form or the taxi app using familiar methods like iDeal, PayPal, or your credit card. It’s a breeze!
Would you prefer personal contact? Call us up or send a WhatsApp message. Our operators will help you on your way. With Staxi, you always have 100% certainty about the costs!
