Our fares — how we calculate your fixed price

No taximeter ticking away in traffic, no surge pricing, no surprises afterwards. You receive one fixed price upfront based on the actual route distance. On this page we explain our complete pricing model — including all surcharges, discounts and the comparison with the Dutch statutory maximum tariff. On average you pay 15-40% below that legal maximum.

The pricing model

The anchor model: distance determines the price

We calculate the actual route distance of your ride via OSRM (OpenStreetMap routing) and apply our anchor pricing model. Between anchor points the price is interpolated linearly and then rounded to the nearest €5. The table below shows the anchor points for a sedan, day rate, one-way.

Anchor points sedan (1-4 passengers) · day rate · one-way
Route distanceFixed priceExample of such a ride
0 – 6 km€ 25Within Echt-Susteren, Echt ↔ Susteren
17 km€ 60Echt ↔ Sittard or Roermond
40 km€ 90Echt ↔ Maastricht or Heerlen
60 km€ 115Echt ↔ Eindhoven Airport
85 km€ 130Echt ↔ Düsseldorf Airport or Weeze
115 km€ 200Echt ↔ Cologne-Bonn Airport
140 km€ 240Echt ↔ Brussels-Charleroi
210 km€ 275Echt ↔ Schiphol
> 210 km€ 275 + € 1.30/kmFurther destinations on request

Example: your ride is 28.5 km. That falls between the 17 km anchor (€60) and the 40 km anchor (€90). The price is interpolated: €60 + (28.5−17)/(40−17) × (€90−€60) = €75. Rounded to €5: €75. That price is fixed — even in traffic or detours.

Legal comparison

On average 15-40% below the Dutch statutory maximum

The Dutch government sets maximum taxi tariffs in the Besluit personenvervoer 2000 (Wp2000, art. 84-87). That maximum consists of a start tariff plus a per-kilometre and per-minute tariff — with a taximeter, standing still in traffic also counts.

Why we come out structurally cheaper

Our anchor model charges one fixed price based on route distance — time does not count. On longer rides (airports) that makes a big difference: a taximeter ride to Schiphol at the legal maximum would cost hundreds of euros; with us it is a fixed €275 (sedan, day). Averaged over all ride types, our fares are 15 to 40% below the legal maximum.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about our fares

We calculate the actual route distance via OSRM (OpenStreetMap routing) and apply our anchor pricing model: fixed price points at 0-6 km (€25), 17 km (€60), 40 km (€90), 60 km (€115), 85 km (€130), 115 km (€200), 140 km (€240) and 210 km (€275); between anchors linear, beyond that €275 + €1.30 per extra km. The result is rounded to the nearest €5. No taximeter, no surge pricing.

Yes. The price you receive upfront is fixed — even if the ride takes longer due to traffic or a detour. Only actual waiting time at your request (driver waits on location) is charged separately at €59.41 per hour (€0.99 per minute), afterwards per actual minute.

From the Echt-Susteren region the indicative fare is €275 for a sedan (1-4 passengers, day rate, one-way). The van (5-8 passengers) is +20%. Your exact price depends on your pick-up address — calculate it in the price calculator.

Between 22:00-00:00 and 04:00-06:00 a +20% surcharge applies (edge night); between 00:00-04:00 it is +25% (deep night). The night rate is applied automatically based on the pick-up time and calculated per direction on return trips.

A return trip costs 1.50 to 1.80 times the single fare instead of 2 times — a 10% to 25% discount. The discount increases with distance: up to 6 km factor 1.80 (10%), up to 20 km 1.75 (12.5%), up to 50 km 1.65 (17.5%), up to 100 km 1.55 (22.5%) and above that 1.50 (25%).

€59.41 per hour, i.e. €0.99 per minute. Waiting time is charged afterwards per actual minute — both en route (stopover) and at the destination. The price calculator shows an upfront indication when you select the 'Wait in-between' trip type.

Our fixed fares are on average 15-40% below the statutory maximum taxi tariff as laid down in the Besluit personenvervoer 2000 (Wp2000, art. 84-87). The legal maximum consists of a start tariff plus per-kilometre and per-minute tariff; we charge one fixed price upfront instead.

The sedan (BYD Han, 100% electric) carries 1-4 passengers with 1 large suitcase, or 3 small, or 1 large + 1 small. The van (Citroën ë-Jumpy, 100% electric) carries 5-8 passengers with 8 large suitcases and costs +20%. For larger groups we automatically plan a combination of vehicles; you pay per vehicle.

Cash, debit/credit card in the car (international cards accepted), prepaid bank transfer or Tikkie, and invoice on account for business clients (monthly invoicing — see business taxi).

No, except actual waiting time at your request (€0.99 per minute, afterwards). No booking fees, no luggage surcharge, no payment method surcharge — and the night rate is already included in your upfront price if your pick-up time falls within night hours.
