Uber in the Netherlands Uber is available in The Netherlands since 2012. Started in Amsterdam and now available in more than 5 cities. Every day we work hard to improve and increase driver availability via the Uber app to meet all trip requests.



Yes, Uber is widely available and fully operational in Amsterdam. Unlike some European cities where the service has faced heavy restrictions, Uber in Amsterdam offers a range of options including UberX, Uber Black, Uber Van, and Uber Green (for electric vehicles). In compliance with local Dutch regulations, all Uber drivers in the city must be fully licensed taxi drivers, ensuring a high level of professionalism and safety. The app is particularly useful for trips to and from Schiphol Airport or for navigating the city late at night when public transport is less frequent. While the city's tram and bike networks are excellent, Uber provides a seamless, cash-free alternative that is often more transparent in pricing than hailing a traditional street taxi.
