GAJE Posted December 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Are there difficulties in getting taxis in Haarlem to the port of Ijmuiden? Any other possible obstacles in staying in Haarlem over Amsterdam? Thank you for any help! Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted December 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I also answered on the HAL. No problem finding a cab, my best guess is it will cost you around E. 75.- You cruiseline might offer a shuttle from Amsterdam but not from haarlem.

FreestyleNovice Posted December 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Dutch taxi's are metered but you are allowed to agree/kind of negotiate on a fixed fare before entering. Below I ran a daytime example for Haarlem Central Station to Felison Cruise Terminal IJmuiden with the maximum fares a passenger car cab (not a small van, they are a bit more) is allowed to charge you: Startup fee; € 2,89 maximum Travel fare; ca. 17 kilometers; €2,12 maximum * 17 = € 36,04 Time fare; 20 minutes * € 0,35 = € 7,- 2,89 + 36,04 + 7,00 = € 45,93 maximum. Official Dutch cabs have blue license plates, you have the right to receive a printed receipt and tipping (anything from small change - up to 10%) will be appreciated (one of the few things the Dutch tip at ;) ). Any supplements i.e. for carrying your luggage should be agreed on before driving off, such supplements are not common anyway. I wouldtry and settle on a fixed fare 35 + 2½ or 5 Euro tip if you get in waiting cab at the train station. A called cab from your hotel would be metered or agreed on a fixed fare with the dispatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted December 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 27, 2014 This question was also on the HAL board. There I later could give him a link to a taxi website, which offers rides Haarlem-IJmuiden for E. 50,- The poster is in direct contact now with them.
