Taxi Hoeksewaard stops, staff finds work elsewhere

Taxi Hoeksewaard will cease to exist, reports TaxiPro. The company will close on November 1, 2026. The owners Nico Boender and Diane Bakhuizen are no longer happy due to declining margins, rising costs and hassle with authorities. The company, which provided healthcare and youth transport, among other things, had nineteen employees and had a history dating back to 1950.

The closure of Taxi Hoeksewaard shows that smaller taxi companies in the Netherlands are under pressure from rising costs and regulatory pressure. According to TaxiPro, the company's drivers find work at other companies, which indicates that the demand for taxi transport and healthcare transport in the region continues, even if individual entrepreneurs stop.
