Line 430:
'''Parking''' in city centres can be expensive. Particularly in Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam, street parking is sometimes limited to only a few hours and prices are €3–6 per hour. Generally, underground car parks cost €4–6 per hour and may be by far the best choice for practical and safety reasons. Consider using public transport to avoid traffic jams and the great difficulties involved in finding a parking spot.
P+R '''park and ride''' facilities are available at the outskirts of bigger cities; you can park your car cheaply there, and continue your journey via public transport.

Line 441 ⟶ 444:
Taxi scams are common, though, and being charged more than double the maximum rate is not uncommon. If you have to pay a round price (e.g. €55.00), you're likely being scammed.
 
The maximum rates are the sum of the initial fee, the fee per kilometre and the fee per minute. They are set annually by the Dutch government. For a normal (4-person) cab they are €2.95, €2.17 and €0.36. This means you'll pay more if you get stuck in traffic. For small vans (5 to 8 passengers), the maximum amounts are €6.00, €2.73 and €0.41. Uber cabs are now illegal but cheaper and still operate in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
