preferred taxi

Kela customers can request a preferred taxi when they book their journey. The customer must know the number of their preferred taxi; the name of the driver alone is not enough to link the taxi with the booking. The customer requests the preferred taxi when they call to place their booking.

A preferred taxi is different from the right recognised by Kela to a familiar taxi driver, where a single driver can fulfil the customer’s regular taxi bookings. The customer’s right to a familiar taxi driver will remain unchanged. 

How to book your preferred taxi

  • Ask your preferred driver for the number of the taxi.
  • Check with the driver in advance to ensure that your desired booking time is suitable for the driver’s/taxi’s schedule.
  • Place your order with Taksi Helsinki by calling the Kela booking number 0800 414 608 and state the number of your preferred taxi when booking.
  • The booking will be sent from the dispatch centre to your preferred taxi.

3.You will receive information about the taxi’s estimated arrival time

  • Please notify the booking line immediately of any changes to a taxi journey you have booked.
  • Changes must be reported no later than 2 hours before the agreed departure time.

4. Show the driver your Kela card

  • When you show the driver your Kela card, you will receive reimbursement immediately in the taxi and pay a deductible of max. €25 for your journey.

5. Certificate for reimbursement for travel expenses (SV67)

  • If you need a taxi for health reasons, please request a certificate from your healthcare provider (Certificate for reimbursement for travel expenses, SV 67)
    • Keep the certificate, which is written for an individual journey, for a period of 6 months from the date of your journey. Kela may ask for it at a later date.
