Similarly to most services in Amsterdam, you're not expected to tip taxi drivers. However, if you are using Uber in the Dutch capital, they do give you the choice to tip your driver if you are particularly happy with the service.

In Amsterdam, tipping an Uber driver is appreciated but not mandatory, as the Netherlands does not have a deeply ingrained tipping culture like the United States. Dutch service workers, including rideshare drivers, are paid a fair wage that does not rely on gratuities for survival. However, if your driver is particularly helpful with heavy luggage, navigates through difficult traffic with ease, or provides great local tips, it is a kind gesture to leave a small tip. In 2026, the most common practice is to round up the fare or add a few Euros (€1–€3) through the Uber app after the ride is complete. Most locals do not tip for every ride, and "excessive" tipping (anything over 10%) is quite rare. If you prefer to tip in cash, small coins are perfectly acceptable. Ultimately, a friendly "Dank je wel" (Thank you) is often valued just as much as a small monetary tip, reflecting the practical and straightforward nature of Dutch social etiquette.
