Copenhagen, yes. I have no idea about the others.

Thank you.

But there is another problem for our fellow Americans. It might happen that a taxi will accept a credit card (usually MC or Visa) but they may not accept non Chip/PIN cards. More and more we are finding that the US issued magnetic strip cards are being rejected by some merchants, restaurants, taxis, etc.

Most but NOT all taxis in Amsterdam accept creditcard.

Many drivers also arenot willing to accept cc for short rides.

Indeed a chip on your cc might be needed on many machines.

Chip cards with 4 digit pins are no problem as we have had them in Canada for some time. :D Thanks for your help. We will ask BEFORE we get into a taxi and be sure they accept credit cards. We will have some local currency with us but prefer to use a credit card due to the great exchange rate it provides.

Just used an American credit card for taxi to airport in Copenhagen two weeks ago. The price was higher due to the early morning time.

In Copenhagen, all taxis take credit card, also with magnetic stripe if the card has no chip. There is a fee of for using a credit card though.
