Visiting the clubs can make for a memorable evening. It can also be problematic. One reason for this is due to what we call the taxi scam. It works like this: for every customer brought to a club through the driver’s recommendation the driver receives a whopping 150NLG ($75.00 US) kickback from the club. What used to be a payment to the driver for delivering a new customer to an establishment has now become a required fee. Whether you arrive by taxi or not, the taxi union expects and gets it cut. It has escalated to the point where it's fair to call it outright extortion; the driver is paid whether he recommended the place to you or not, and you are either asked for it directly upon entry, or it is added to your bill. The driver sits outside and waits until he is paid, sometimes he will follow you in and remind the manager that he hasn't received his money yet---in addition to the fare+tip he has already 'graciously' accepted. Best advice is: Don't give the exact address to the taxi driver, but something nearby, lose the taxi, then walk to the club. Never ask a taxi driver to recommend a club.
