Airport transfers

Reliable transfers to and from Schiphol Airport and Rotterdam The Hague Airport, with professional drivers who monitor flight times and ensure timely pick-up. A meet and greet service is available as an option in the booking flow: your driver waits in the Schiphol arrivals hall with a name board and helps with your luggage, so you are looked after from the moment you land. After a long international flight, stepping into a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes with a driver waiting for you makes all the difference. Journey time from Schiphol to Amsterdam city centre is typically 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.

Luxury and executive transport

For guests who prefer a higher level of comfort and presentation, luxury Mercedes vehicles are available for private chauffeur hire. Suitable for business travel, special occasions, or those who value a refined standard of transport throughout their stay in the Netherlands.

Private chauffeur by the hour or full day

If your schedule includes multiple stops or a flexible programme, you can reserve a driver for several hours or an entire day. Ideal for meetings, shopping, restaurant visits, or longer journeys beyond Amsterdam, including cross-border travel to Belgium and beyond.

Group transport and taxibus

Travelling with family or a small group? Spacious Mercedes minivans accommodating up to seven passengers keep everyone together and avoid the need for multiple vehicles. Luggage, comfort, and coordination are handled from the outset, whether you are heading to a hotel, a cruise terminal, or an attraction outside the city.

Prefer a private guide, not just a driver?

Many guests searching for a chauffeur or airport chauffeur service in Amsterdam are really after more than a lift. Rather than an empty transfer, you can have a private guide in a luxury car take you around: a driver-guide who shows you the city, or the wider Dutch countryside, at your own pace and then drops you at your hotel or ship. Browse our private tours in Amsterdam or our private driving tours across the Netherlands, or keep it simple with a straightforward transfer using the booking form above.

Meet and greet at Schiphol Airport

Arriving at Schiphol after a long flight? Choose the meet and greet option when you book and your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a name board, ready to help with your luggage and walk you to the car. Because your driver tracks your flight, an early or late landing simply moves the pickup time, so there is no waiting around and no hunting for your ride. It is the easiest way to start your trip, and it is available on every airport transfer and private chauffeur booking.

How to get from Schiphol to Amsterdam city centre

There are three main ways to travel between Schiphol Airport and the centre of Amsterdam:

  • Train – the fastest budget option. Direct trains run to Amsterdam Centraal every few minutes, take about 15 to 20 minutes and cost roughly €5 to €6 one way. From Centraal you continue to your hotel by tram, taxi or on foot.
  • Official taxi – from the rank outside arrivals, metered, typically €60 to €95 to the centre depending on traffic and destination. See our guide to taxis and scams at Schiphol.
  • Private transfer – a fixed price from €85 with a professional driver, meet and greet and a door-to-door ride in a comfortable Mercedes. The most relaxed option, especially with luggage, a group, or an early or late flight.

The train is ideal if you are travelling light and watching the budget; a private transfer is best when you would rather step off the plane and be looked after all the way to your door.
