Uber during King’s Day 2019

Saturday the 27th of April the Netherlands is celebrating King’s Day. The canals will be flooded with boats and people, Malieveld in The Hague will be full of people and in Rotterdam everyone is hopping from festival to festival. Summarized, it’s going to get busy. Really busy.

That’s why we’ve collected some tips to get you as fast and safe as possible from A to B during King’s Day.

Tip 1: Closed off city centers

Parts of the city centers of Amsterdam, Utrecht and Eindhoven will be closed down. Check the images further down this blog for more detailed information. During King’s Day it’s more difficult for your driver to drive into town, we advise you to select a pickup location that is outside of the city center, so your driver can find you easily.

Tip 2: Contact your driver anonymously

Having trouble finding your driver? Or do you want to give your driver extra instructions regarding your pickup location? Via the option ‘contact’ you can easily contact your driver to discuss the details. When your Uber has arrived, don’t forget to check if the license plate of the car matches the one in the app. The app also shows the name and a picture of your driver, so you can check if you’re in the right car. 

Tip 3: Dynamic pricing

The app always provides you with a price estimate before you order. Rates too high? This can happen when the demand is high. The rates support with attracting more drivers to the area. Just relax and wait a moment, the crowds and the dynamic rate will reduce within a short time.

Adjustments in Amsterdam

Partypeople in Amsterdam: please be mindful that the city center is closed down for traffic, so order your Uber outside of the orange area.
