Leuven Taxi Fares Explained
Leuven taxis operate under Flemish regulations, with meters that calculate a base fare, a distance charge per kilometer, and a waiting time charge per hour. The city of Leuven sets maximum rates that taxi companies may charge, so most firms apply the same standard meter rates.
Rides can be booked by phone, through apps, or at taxi stands, particularly at Leuven station and the Grote Markt. A typical 5 km ride within the city costs around 21 euro during the day, while night rides from 22:00 to 06:00 usually include a supplement.
Airport transfers to Brussels Airport are a common service, often with a fixed price instead of the meter. Tipping is not mandatory but rounding up the fare is common.
