RTC Taxi
Read full descriptionHide full description
With the RTC Taxi app you can easily order an RTC taxi within the Rotterdam region with high discounts and fixed price. Pay easily with iDeal, Credit Card or cash. The discount percentage depends on the time of your ride. For example, you pay the normal rate during the busy times and you get high discounts when you travel during off-peak hours. Before you actually place the order, the app calculates the fixed price for your ride. You never have to pay more to the driver than the app has indicated. Please note, the fixed price only applies to the ride that you have actually ordered. For possible changes such as additional addresses o.i.d. the driver may charge a surcharge. Of course this is only applicable in case you change something as a customer. After the ride there is a possibility (optional) to give a "rating" of your experience with the ride and the driver who drove you. For other information about the app, rates, discounts, general terms and conditions, etc., please refer to our website www.rtc-rotterdam.nl. With kind regards, Your RTC team!
