Taxis in Amsterdam are not allowed to stop along the streets. To use an airport taxi, you can call a local taxi company, hire a taxi from a designated stand or book one in advance. It is a more expensive travel option than the train and prices might vary due to the traffic and distance as they use the meter and additional charge for waiting time. However, if you travel with luggage and children, it is more convenient and comfortable to hire a taxi.
Airport taxis are waiting at taxi stands outside the terminal building. The drop-off is at a designated taxi stop behind the Centraal Station, to the Western Tunnel's left. If you prefer you can also order a taxi over the phone, however, during peak hours, you might need to wait for a while
