Is booking a taxi in advance cheaper 

Prices differ from one company to another, and to determine truly and effectively if booking a taxi in advance is cheaper, we will need to check the prices of all companies in Belgium and see if the rates for booking directly are higher than booking in advance or not. In general booking in advance your taxi is in fact cheaper. 

Companies usually charge for pickup fees and the reason is having to satisfy a non-planned demand costs more money and time. Planned trips are typically more cost effective for companies in terms of resources, being it human resources (drivers) and other non-human resources costs, and this means better pricing for customers. In fact, less resources means less money to spend, and so budget-oriented companies tend to either add the cost of the pickup to their trips as already mentioned or not doing so as a long-term marketing tactic.

Besides saving directly on the pricing of his trip, saving can also be indirect. When you booking in advance, the typical pitfalls that consume our energy and time are avoided, and saving on money becomes indirect. Imagine having to go to your hotel at night and finding it impossible to find a cab to take you there in the time you need it most. In this case, the loss of time resulted directly in the loss of your pre-paid night at the hotel: a loss of money.

Moreover, pay for your trip in advance and you will avoid being hit by unexpected prices when in need. You can’t guarantee the companies prices or driving services options on the day of need, but in case of pre-booking, you rest assured that the terms agreed upon and communicated by the company will not change. And so, if you pre-book a taxi to Brussels airport for a certain price and an exact list of options, you will have nothing less than described.
