Travelling by taxi during the corona outbreak has its advantages. You don’t have to share a taxi with other travellers, like public transport. The driver cleans the corona-sensitive parts of the vehicle, such as the handles and the seatbelts, after each ride.
Furthermore, there are additional guidelines for both drivers and passengers. If you want to travel to a COVID test location by taxi, or you have a vital trip to make but suffer from complaints that fit in with COVID-19, please read on!
Safe and responsible taxiing during the corona outbreak
In addition to general guidelines against the spread of the coronavirus, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management has written out a specific protocol for transport by taxi.
The following supplementary guidelines apply to taxi passengers:
- Wear a (medical) face mask in the taxi;
- Prebook your taxi ride as much as possible;
- Keep distance from the driver:
- Embark and disembark yourself;
- If possible, sit in the back seat;
- Fasten your seatbelt yourself;
- Place luggage in the luggage compartment yourself or keep it on your lap.
- Pay in advance or with debit/credit card. Avoid cash payments.

COVID taxi
Do you have to do a corona test in Amsterdam? Or do you have complaints that fit COVID-19 but have to make an essential ride? Then make use of one of our specially equipped COVID taxis.
You can easily book a COVID taxi using the fare calculator on this page. It allows you to pre-pay for your taxi so that there’s as little contact with the driver as possible.
Travelling by taxi ensures you limit the number of contacts along the way, so the virus cannot spread any further. The Dutch institute for public health has drawn up a protocol for the transport of people with (complaints appropriate to) COVID-19. For example, you are not allowed to sit next to the driver, but you are obliged to sit at the back of the taxi.
