Does Amsterdam have Uber taxi?

Complete your plans today by reserving a ride with Uber in Amsterdam. Request a ride up to 30 days in advance, at any time and on any day of the year.



Yes, Amsterdam has a very active Uber service, but it operates in a highly regulated environment alongside traditional taxis. When you open the Uber app in Amsterdam in 2026, you will see several options: UberX (standard private cars), Uber Black (high-end luxury vehicles), and sometimes Uber Green (electric or hybrid cars). Additionally, Uber has integrated a "Taxi" option that allows you to summon a regular licensed Amsterdam taxi through the app at a transparent price. This is particularly useful because Amsterdam taxis are allowed to use the "tram lanes" (bus/tram lanes), which often bypass the city's heavy traffic, whereas standard UberX cars must stay in the regular car lanes. While Uber is popular, traditional taxis (like TCA) remain a strong competitor and can be hailed on the street or at designated stands. For 2026 travelers, Uber remains the most convenient way to get a ride with a fixed price, though taking a "Taxi" via the app might save you 10–15 minutes during the busy evening hours in the city center.
