Reserving a ride with the Water Taxi is just as easy as booking a regular taxi. You simply decide where you are and where you want to go. This can be done via the website, the handy app or by calling 010 403 03 03. Keep in mind that it can be busy on weekends, so it is wise to make a reservation in time. Fortunately, you can cancel free of charge up to fifteen minutes before departure, if something comes up.

• And from Plantagelaan to Piekstraat
