Schedule rides in advance

Your ride for the journey ahead

5 September 2018 / Netherlands

Where to?
Life doesn’t happen in a straight line. It moves in every possible direction—up, down, sideways, backward. Each twist and turn brings a new challenge and experience. Sometimes everything goes exactly to plan but sometimes things get messy. That’s why we’ve created the transportation app that moves with you. A reliable, convenient, and affordable way to get a hold of any situation. So no matter which direction life takes you, you can request a pick up. The only question for you is ‘Where to?’.

Go get the app

1. Before your driver arrives

You’ll see their name, photo, car make and model, and licence plate number—so you know you’re hopping in the right car. The Uber app allows you to text or call your driver from an anonymised number to communicate any particular details about your pick up.

2. While you're on your way

Swipe up to see more details and fun facts about your driver. During your trip you can check your drivers' rating, the compliments he or se received and in what language you can have a chat. Is your driver playing the music you like? Of course you can leave your driver a compliment yourself!

FAQ

Where in The Netherlands can I request an Uber?

What does an Uber cost?

How much cheaper is Uber compared to a taxi?
On average, Uber is approximately 50% cheaper than traditional taxi services in The Netherlands. Please be aware that Uber fares are subject to Surge Pricing.
How does Surge Pricing at Uber works?
There are times when so many people are requesting rides that there aren’t enough cars on the road to help take them all.In these cases of very high demand, fares may increase to help ensure those who need a ride can get one. This system is called surge pricing, and it lets us continue to be a reliable choice.
I tried to take an Uber but it said 'No cars available'. What should I do?
It seems that there were not enough Ubers online at that moment or that we’re not currently active in your city. Please check the map to find out where you can use Uber near you.
What if I requested an Uber in the ‘red zone’ but there were no cars available?
In the red zone, you should normally be able to get an Uber. However, there can be cases where, due to extreme weather, big events or other external factors, it’s harder to get an Uber. We will then advise you to try again in a few minutes.
I live in an ‘orange zone’. Can I still request an Uber?
You can still request an Uber. Requesting in the ‘orange’ zone means you might need to wait a little longer for your Uber to arrive. It can also be the case that there are no cars available, during the night for example. We’re working hard to improve our availability in your neighbourhood.
Looking at the map above, I see that Uber is not available in my neighbourhood. What’s next?
We’re always working hard on improving our availability throughout the country. Please check the app for any updates.
