Utrecht-zens, who are living or staying in the remarkable city know that getting around the city doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. The city has some amazingly cost-effective taxi options that make the going from A to B hassle-free blogneews. So let’s pull off that outer shell and take a look at ways you can be sure to save those sought after euros while cruising through.

Imagine this- it’s a classic Dutch afternoon, you’ve just strolled through those winding streets of the city center and have let go of your cash paying not enough for some tasty stroopwafels. Now, the trek back to your Airbnb is proving to be too much. Fear not! Affordable cabs in Utrecht is there for the taking, just around the corner waiting to whisk you away.

First things first- know thy discounts. Like a spider creating a web cab companies have interconnected with apps offering an array of discounts that’ll knock your socks off. Keep an eye out for apps like Bolt and Uber. These two biggies often throw in some very sweet deals for short rides especially if you’re a first time user. Some matchstick heads have even said that the apps’ discount notifications are like a small gift coming from nowhere.

Nevertheless, not putting all your eggs in one basket, there are other local cab services worth the know. Dutch Taxi and Staxi are giving rides at very competitive prices with drivers that are keen to share with you local scoops such as where to get the best poffertjes (tiny Dutch pancakes just the right amount of delish).

Time for a pro-tip: make sure you compare fares before you book. It might feel like a dog chasing its tail at first but doing a little dance around apps could save you few bucks.
