Booking an airport taxi from Schiphol to Amsterdam should be the easiest part of your journey. Our pre-booked transfer service connects Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) with every address in Amsterdam at a fixed price agreed before you travel. No meter, no surge pricing, no negotiation at the taxi rank.
Whether you are landing after a long-haul flight or heading to the terminal for an early departure, your driver is scheduled around your flight, not around traffic guesswork.
Departing from Amsterdam to Schiphol
Missing a flight is the expensive mistake. That is why we plan every departure transfer backwards from your check-in time, adding a margin for the A10 ring road and the A4 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 early morning flights out of Amsterdam, our drivers operate around the clock, so a 4:00 AM pickup is routine rather than a special request.
Arriving at Schiphol, travelling into Amsterdam
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. No hunting for a pickup zone with a suitcase in each hand.

Journey time from Schiphol to Amsterdam
The drive from Schiphol to central Amsterdam covers roughly 15 to 20 kilometres and takes about 25 to 35 minutes in normal conditions. Zuidas and Amsterdam-Zuid are closer, often under 20 minutes. Amsterdam-Noord and IJburg sit at the far end of the range.
Rush hour on the A10 can add 15 to 20 minutes, which is exactly why we build a margin into every departure transfer rather than leaving it to chance.
Vehicles for your Amsterdam 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. 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.

Can I book a return transfer?
Yes. Select the return option in the booking form and both journeys are confirmed at once at a fixed total price.
