Region

Theoretically "De Dagtoertaxi" is available for passengers, travelling from/to places all  over the Netherlands (also from abroad).
However, a request can be rejected if the driver would have to drive more hours than the Taxi Law allows him to drive, or if the number of "unoccupied" kilometres would be too high in relation to the number of "occupied" kilometres. Please check the price examples on this website to see possibilities, impossibilities and rates per city. These price examples can be found through the links on the page private clients or companies.


Price appointments and taxi meter

"De Dagtoertaxi" makes price appointments in advance for all long distance services. The calculation is made with the help of an internal calculation programma, and is based on the total number of hours and kilometres that is needed to provide the requested service, including "unoccupied" kilometres. External costs for tollroads, ferries, etc. (also during "unoocupied"  kilometres) are never included in the day price.

According to the Dutch Taxi Law the meter is always switched on during a ride, even if a price appointment has been made. However, the client pays the agreed (lower) price.


Paying

"De Dagtoertaxi" is always payed after the taxi service has been delivered.
Passengers/companies who don't have a bank account in one of the Euro countries are  requested to pay cash in Euros (€ 200 / € 500 bank notes are not accepted).
Passengers/companies with an address and bank account in one of the Euro countries can ask for an invoice with a payment period of 30 days.
To keep the costs (and rates) low, De Dagtoertaxi can unfortunately not accept creditcards, other bank cards and cheques (including Travellers Cheques).
If you don't have cash with you, please ask the driver to make an extra stop at an ATM.

Additional rules for airport transfers

A definitive reservation for an airport tranfer can only be made when the definitive flight information is available. Before that it is possible to let "De Dagtoertaxi" know when you expect to arrive/leave, but this is not a reservation. "De Dagtoertaxi" reserves the right to grant another request for the same date, but will always contact you about that.

If the flight schedule changes after a definitive reservation has been made, "De Dagtoer-taxi" can unfortunately not guarantee that the taxi reservation can be changed as well.
If not, then the earlier appointment will be cancelled without any mutual costs.

If you make a reservation for transfer from an airport, the driver will let you know where he will meet you. Eventual parking costs at the airport are included up to € 5.

The maximum waiting time for the driver at the airport is 3 hours after the originally planned landing time. In case of a longer delay, custom problems or luggage problems "De Dagtoertaxi" cannot guarantee that the taxi (or any replacement transport) will stay available. If not, then the earlier appointment will be cancelled without any mutual costs.
