City taxi service Amsterdam for everyday rides

Our team runs a private taxi service in Amsterdam for trips that never go near the airport. Think hotel-to-hotel moves, dinner across town, a concert at the Ziggo Dome or a meeting in Zuidas. You book the ride online and see the fare before you pay. A driver from Airport Transfer Amsterdam then collects you at the door.

Our Amsterdam city taxi covers short rides inside the city and its neighbourhoods. We fix every fare at checkout, so the price never depends on traffic.

Visitors and locals book our drivers for all kinds of short trips around town. These are the rides our team handles most:

Hotel-to-hotel taxi Amsterdam moves: You switch hotels mid-stay and skip dragging suitcases over cobbles and tram tracks.
Restaurants and nights out: Dinner in De Pijp, drinks in the Jordaan or a show near Leidseplein.
Museums: The Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk, all around Museumplein.
Concerts and matches: The Ziggo Dome, AFAS Live and the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
Trade fairs and conferences: Drop-off and pickup at RAI Amsterdam.
Business meetings: Office-to-office rides in the Zuidas business district.
Errands and appointments: Shopping trips, hospital visits or a ride home after a late shift.

Whether you need one ride or five across a weekend, our team books each one with its own fixed fare.

Taxi Amsterdam city centre: why a private car helps

The old centre is lovely on foot and tricky by car. Canal streets run one way, trams and bikes fill the main routes, and taxis can’t stop wherever they like. Our drivers deal with all of that for you:

Routes: They know which canal streets run which way and which ones are close to through traffic.
Drop-off points: They know where a car can legally stop near your hotel or restaurant.
Timing: They plan around tram lines, bridges, and busy evenings at the big venues.
Luggage: They load and unload the bags when you move between hotels.

Your driver gets you to the door, or as close as the street allows, without circling the canal belt.

Amsterdam taxi hire: how booking works

Booking a taxi ride in Amsterdam city takes three steps. The process is the same whether you book a week ahead or for tonight:

Enter your pickup and drop-off addresses in the booking form on this page.
Choose your car by passenger count and luggage.
Pay with iDEAL, PayPal or a credit card.

Your confirmation and receipt arrive by email straight away. The fare you see at checkout is the fare you pay, with no meter running while you wait behind a delivery van. For rides to train stations, cruise terminals or other cities, you can pre-book an order taxi service in Amsterdam through the same system.
