What Taxi-One does
Taxi-One Gouda B.V. is a privately held Dutch taxi and passenger transport company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Gouda, Netherlands. The company operates a traditional taxi service rather than a technology platform, with sales conducted via telephone, a website-based online booking tool, and a dedicated business client portal. Its service portfolio spans street taxi, station taxi, airport transfers (Schiphol and Rotterdam Airport), healthcare transport (zorgvervoer) with reimbursement from select Dutch health insurers, wheelchair-accessible transport, theatraux taxi in partnership with Goudse Schouwburg, courier services, VIP/business transfers, and group/event transport including shuttle buses for events such as Vrienden van Amstel Live at Ahoy Rotterdam.
The company operates a notably diverse fleet ranging from Tesla Model S electric vehicles and Mercedes luxury cars to Mercedes Vito Business Class vans, Marco Polo (52-person) and Volvo (50–58 person) buses, party buses, wheelchair-accessible vehicles with lift systems, and touringcars up to 87 persons, the latter supplemented through sister companies One-Tours, Hummels-Tours & Adventures, and partner Look-Tours BV. There is no proprietary technology platform, no mobile application, no AI/ML capability, and no externally documented integration or API layer; operations are described as a conventional taxi and transport business.
Taxi-One generates revenue through per-ride, per-person, and per-event transaction fees, with corporate transport delivered on a quote or contract basis. Named customers and partners include Groene Hart Ziekenhuis Gouda and LUMC Leiden (healthcare), Goudse Schouwburg (theater), and event shuttle work for Ahoy Rotterdam. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the company is privately held without external investment, and operating geographies remain regional (Gouda, South Holland) despite national and international destination capability.

Taxi-One competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- FreeNow (formerly mytaxi): App-based taxi-hailing aggregator operating across the Netherlands that licenses and dispatches local taxi drivers including traditional fleets. Comparable to Taxi-One as a Dutch taxi demand channel but adds digital booking layer that Taxi-One lacks.
- Uber Netherlands: App-based ride-hailing platform operating across major Dutch cities including connections to Schiphol and Rotterdam. Competes directly with Taxi-One's on-demand airport and city rides, but with a technology-led, asset-light model.
- Bolt Netherlands: European ride-hailing platform expanding in the Netherlands with app-based dispatch and competitive pricing. Comparable to Taxi-One in serving urban point-to-point demand but with fundamentally different cost structure and no traditional fleet.
Broad incumbents
- Connexxion Taxi Services: Large established Dutch public-transport operator (Transdev subsidiary) running regional taxi, zorgvervoer and contracted shuttle services across the Netherlands. Comparable because of healthcare transport and group/event shuttle offerings, but at national scale and with broader corporate backing.
- Arriva Personenvervoer Nederland: Large Dutch regional public transport operator (subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn) running bus, train and contracted taxi/shuttle services. Comparable as a regional passenger transport incumbent serving similar B2B and event contract opportunities.
- Transdev Netherlands Mobility: National Dutch mobility operator running Connexxion, Wagenborg and other passenger transport brands. Comparable to Taxi-One on zorgvervoer, group transport and corporate shuttle contracts but at significantly larger national scale.
Direct peers
- Staxi: Dutch regional taxi operator with multiple local brands across the Netherlands offering street taxi, airport, business and group transport services. Direct comparable to Taxi-One in operating model, vehicle-class breadth and reliance on regional station-stand traffic.
Regional players
- Taxi Rotterdam (Taxi RMC): Rotterdam-area taxi operator running airport transfers, business transport and group services including Schiphol routes. Comparable to Taxi-One's South Holland coverage and Rotterdam Airport service offering.
- Zorgvervoer Nederland (zorgtaxi operators collective): Collective representing Dutch healthcare transport operators and zorgvervoer concession holders. Directly comparable to Taxi-One's Groene Hart Ziekenhuis and LUMC Leiden healthcare transport contracts, competing for the same insurer tenders.
- EBS Public Transport (Haaglanden): Regional public transport and contracted mobility operator in South Holland, including the Gouda and surrounding areas where Taxi-One operates. Comparable on regional bus, group and contracted shuttle demand overlap.
