Taxi fares in Rotterdam follow fixed, legally regulated rates. This ensures you always know what to expect, whether you are taking a short trip within the city, traveling from the port to your hotel, or heading to the airport. Below you will find a clear overview of the standard rates and the factors that influence the price of your ride.

How is the total fare calculated?

The final price depends on three factors:

1. Distance – The more kilometers you travel, the higher the cost.
2. Travel time – Traffic congestion, busy roads, or traffic lights may influence the total price.
3. Number of passengers – Group transport (5–8 passengers) falls under van transport and uses different rates.

A good taxi service will always provide a price estimate in advance so you won’t face any surprises.

When should you choose a fixed price?

For many rides — such as trips to Rotterdam The Hague Airport, Schiphol, or business destinations — a fixed fare is often more advantageous. This way you know exactly what you will pay beforehand, regardless of traffic conditions or the route taken.

Rotterdam Taxi Service offers transparent fixed rates for all airport transfers and long-distance rides.

Why do taxi prices sometimes differ between providers?

Although the legal maximum fares are the same for everyone, the actual ride prices can vary depending on:

• The quality of the taxi company
• Possible discounts or promotions
• The type of vehicle (standard taxi or taxi van)
• Whether a fixed fare was agreed upon in advance

Certified companies such as Rotterdam Taxi Service always apply fair and transparent pricing.

Additional costs or surcharges?

Licensed taxis should not include hidden costs. You should never pay extra for:

• Luggage
• Debit or contactless payments
• Credit card payments
• Night surcharges (the fares already follow the legal tariff structure)

However, be aware that non-licensed taxis sometimes charge different prices.

How can you be sure you are getting into a licensed taxi?

Always check whether the taxi has:

• An RTX window card (Rotterdam Taxi Quality Mark)
• A TTO indication on the roof sign
• A working taximeter

This ensures fair pricing and professional drivers.
