Quick answers about taxi pricing, airport rides and how our fare calculator works.

Do you also do airport rides to Schiphol?
Yes. We provide airport transfers to Schiphol and Groningen Airport Eelde. For long-distance trips we recommend calling to discuss a fixed price.
Is a taxi cheaper than Uber in Groningen?
App prices can change quickly due to surge pricing. Taxi pricing is usually more predictable. If you want certainty on longer rides, call us and ask about a fixed price.
Do you calculate a return trip as well?
Yes. Select “Include return trip” and we estimate outward + return using the same distance and time. In practice the return route may differ due to traffic and one-way streets.
