Yes, Uber is widely available and highly reliable in Amsterdam as of 2026. The service operates legally and is deeply integrated into the city's transport fabric, offering several tiers including UberX, Uber Black, and Uber Van for larger groups. A unique feature in Amsterdam is Uber Green, which allows you to specifically request a 100% electric vehicle, reflecting the city’s aggressive sustainability goals. While Uber is convenient, it is important to note that Amsterdam has a very strict "Blue Taxi" regulation system; Uber drivers must be licensed professional drivers, similar to traditional taxi operators. You can pick up an Uber at designated "Ride Share" zones at Schiphol Airport or throughout the city center. However, because of Amsterdam's narrow, canal-side streets and extensive tram network, sometimes a bike or a tram is faster. Uber also offers Uber Boat services during peak summer months and special events, allowing you to traverse the historic canal ring with the same app-based ease as a traditional car ride.

That's because, in the Netherlands, there is no social or written requirement to tip a restaurant worker. However, if you received good service or thoroughly enjoyed the food, it's customary to give a small tip — around 5-10% of the bill. If your service was just average, round up the bill or leave some change.
