Where to find a taxi and how to spot a taxi

How can you spot a taxi?

By law, each taxi in Amsterdam must have:
1. a blue number plate
2. a tariff card visible from inside and outside the taxi
3. a driver’s licence that can be seen and read inside the taxi
Most taxis also have a roof light. 

Where can you find a taxi?

You can find taxis at the taxi ranks in the vicinity of tourist areas such as the Dam, Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein. There are a total of 50 official ranks in the city, which are identified by the blue signs. You can hail taxis that you see plying the roads. Remember that the taxi cannot or may not be able to stop everywhere. Naturally, you can book a taxi yourself instead by telephone. The telephone numbers of taxi companies can be obtained by calling the information number 1888 or via www.1888info.nl.
