Booking an airport taxi from Schiphol to Maastricht should be the easiest part of your journey. Our pre-booked transfer service connects Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) with every address in Maastricht and South Limburg at a fixed price agreed before you travel. No meter, no surge pricing, no negotiation at the taxi rank.
It is a long drive. That is precisely why people book it. After an intercontinental flight, two and a half hours in the back of a quiet car with your luggage in the boot is a different experience from two and a half hours of train changes with a suitcase in each hand.
Departing from Maastricht to Schiphol
Missing a flight is the expensive mistake, and from Maastricht the margin for error is smaller because the journey is longer. We plan every departure transfer backwards from your check-in time, adding a margin for the A2 through Eindhoven and Utrecht and for the approach to Schiphol Plaza.
You tell us your flight time when you book. We choose the pickup time, confirm it in writing, and your driver is at your door before it. For a morning flight out of Schiphol, that often means a pickup in the early hours. Our drivers operate around the clock, so a 3:30 AM departure from Maastricht is routine rather than a special request.
Arriving at Schiphol, travelling to Maastricht
Your driver monitors your flight in real time. If you land early or late, the pickup adjusts automatically and you do not need to call anyone.
We meet you inside Schiphol Arrivals with a name sign, help with your luggage and walk you to the car. From there it is one uninterrupted drive to your door.

Door to door service to any address in Maastricht and South Limburg
Maastricht, a long way from Schiphol and worth the drive
Maastricht is the southernmost city in the Netherlands, closer to Brussels and Cologne than to Amsterdam. It draws international students and staff at the university, visitors to the MECC conference centre, and business travellers to the Chemelot campus and the Brightlands sites. Many of them fly long-haul into Schiphol and then face the question of how to cover the last 215 kilometres.
Our Maastricht service also covers the rest of South Limburg. Valkenburg, Heerlen, Sittard, Geleen, Kerkrade and the villages of the Heuvelland are all part of the same fixed price area. If your destination is across the border in Aachen or Liège, tell us when you book and we will quote for that too.
Maastricht districts and South Limburg
Every neighbourhood in and around the city is covered, including:
Binnenstad, Wyck and the Vrijthof area
Céramique, Randwyck and the MECC
Sint Pieter, Villapark and Jekerdal
Maastricht-West, Brusselsepoort and Daalhof
Amby, Heer and De Heeg
Valkenburg aan de Geul and the Heuvelland
Heerlen, Kerkrade and Landgraaf
Sittard, Geleen and the Chemelot campus
Journey time from Schiphol to Maastricht
The drive from Schiphol to central Maastricht covers roughly 215 kilometres and takes about 2 hours 15 to 2 hours 45 in normal conditions, almost entirely on the A2. Sittard and Geleen are at the shorter end of that range. Valkenburg and the Heuvelland villages add another 15 to 20 minutes.
The A2 passes Utrecht and Eindhoven, and rush hour around either city can add 30 minutes or more. That is exactly why we build a margin into every departure transfer rather than leaving it to chance.
Vehicles for your Maastricht transfer
Choose the car that fits your group and your luggage. A Mercedes E-Class sedan suits solo travellers and couples. A Mercedes V-Class van carries up to 6 passengers with full luggage, which makes it the usual choice for families arriving at Schiphol with checked bags, and for anyone who wants room to stretch out on a long drive. Larger groups are handled by minibus.
Baby seats, child seats and booster cushions are free on request. Add them when you book and tell us the age of the child.
