The Jumping Mechelen event is an annual spectacle that attracts thousands of visitors. From thrilling competitions to a cozy Christmas village and breathtaking shows, it’s an experience to remember. However, many underestimate the cost of transportation to the Nekkerhal. People often think taxis are more expensive than alternatives like driving yourself or using shuttle buses. But is that really true? In this blog, we’ll explain why taking a taxi can be cheaper, more convenient, and less stressful than you might think.
Parking costs and hidden expenses
Parking at Jumping Mechelen costs €12 per day, excluding any additional expenses like lost time or alternative parking options. This may not seem like much, but when you factor in the time spent finding a spot and waiting for the shuttle bus, the costs can quickly add up.
With a taxi:
- No parking fees.
- No wasted time searching for parking or waiting for shuttles.
- You only pay for the ride, with no hidden costs.
Compared to a shuttle bus:
While the shuttle bus appears “free,” you often spend extra time waiting and taking detours. Time is money, especially if you’re traveling with children or in a group.
Sharing costs with your group
One of the biggest advantages of a taxi is cost-sharing. Traveling with friends or family? A taxi quickly becomes an economical option. For example, if you’re traveling with four people:
- Taxi: Split the fare, and you’ll likely pay less per person than the combined cost of parking and fuel for multiple cars.
- Own car: Multiple cars mean higher fuel costs, tolls, and parking fees.
“A taxi is often seen as a luxury, but for group travel, it’s surprisingly affordable.”
Time is money
A taxi saves you valuable time. While others wait for a shuttle bus or hunt for parking, you’ll already be on your way to the Nekkerhal. Moreover, you can relax during the ride without worrying about traffic or directions.
“Travel time without stress is time well spent.”
- With a taxi: Directly to the entrance of the Nekkerhal.
- With a car: Navigate traffic, find parking, and switch to a shuttle bus.
