From the Rotterdam World / Travel essentials

Taxis and Water Taxis

Taxis are useful for direct journeys when walking or public transport does not fit, while water taxis offer a river-based way to move between landing points.

Taxis and Water Taxis

Why go

Most central distances can be covered on foot, by bicycle or public transport, so a road taxi is best kept for a specific need: luggage, late travel or a less direct destination. A water taxi is different. On the Nieuwe Maas it makes the river part of the journey and can be useful when a landing point matches your plans on opposite shores.

Useful to know

  • Use a licensed taxi rank or book through a recognised operator.
  • Confirm the fare method and destination before starting a road-taxi journey.
  • Check current water-taxi landing points, operating conditions and booking arrangements before relying on one.
