Taxi Centrale ELTAX was the first taxi service opened in Leiden, founded by the Ulden brothers in 1933. Since then, of course, the company has not stood still, with the cherry on the cake being its own street name, namely the Eltax court. Which taxi company can say that now!
Sustainable
As you may know, since 2016 we have been the only taxi service in Leiden utilizing an electric Tesla as a taxi. We now have two Teslas in our fleet. In this way, we are already working on a more sustainable future.
The only company in Leiden is Taxi Centrale ELTAX, a center of cooperating entrepreneurs. This makes us very service-oriented and reliable.
Customer communication
Taxi Centrale ELTAX uses links with which you can see our taxi arriving. But in addition, we call, text and whatsapp with you to make the ride as smooth as possible. This makes us very transparent. You can see how long the taxi will take to arrive at every moment.
These are some of our services:
Schiphol service
Fixed online prices
Business transport for companies, also on invoice
Tesla as a wedding transport vehicle
WMO transport
Medical transport (if your policy permits)
Out-of-school care, for which three of our drivers have a special VOG for transporting underage children
Collaboration is in our genes. That is why we also work with companies such as Taxi de Groot, Taxi Wielkens and Taxi Brouwer (for vans for nine people up to coaches for sixty people). We offer everything to fulfill your transport demands. We can handle almost any transport requirement.
You can feel this high level of service and conviviality in the relaxed atmosphere that we try to maintain in the car. That is why it is also important that our drivers are all a bit older and wiser. With us you will not see young drivers who just received a driving license. We stick to the maximum speeds, simply because experience has taught us that speeding hardly saves time.
