Common times for a night taxi to Schiphol

03:00

Early-morning transfer

For a first flight at 06:00 you want to be at Schiphol around 03:30, so from the Randstad you usually leave home between 02:30 and 03:00. No surcharge: the same fixed price.

05:00

First wave of departures

Most early flights leave Schiphol between 05:00 and 07:00, while public transport is only just getting going. A private taxi from your pickup address straight to the terminal solves that.

22:00

Late-evening pickup

Last-minute flight at 23:30? Rides continue through the evening as usual. Book online up to 1 hour ahead, or call if online booking is closed.

02:00

Landing at Schiphol after midnight

Flight landing at 01:30? Your flight is tracked live, with 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. No night surcharge.

Weekend

Sundays and public holidays

No weekend surcharge, no public-holiday surcharge. Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, Easter Sunday: same price.

Business

Night shift or early meeting

Business travel at impossible hours: home after a late shift, or to the airport before dawn. An invoice is available on request, handy if you often travel to and from the airport for work.

Is a taxi more expensive at night?

No. No extra euros for early mornings, late evenings, weekends or public holidays. What you see at booking is what you pay, at any hour.

Also at night: Comfort from €35, Premium from €45, Van from €50 and VIP from €70. All fixed route prices are on the pricing page.

“Excellent service for our trip from Schipol airport to Spijkenisse. Communication from the driver was excellent and we managed to arrange a earlier pick up based on his knowledge of how long the immigration queue would be. Very friendly, helpful and would highly recommend”

Questions about night rides to Schiphol

Until when can I book for a night ride?

You can book online 24/7 via the site, up to 1 hour before your desired pickup time: booking at 22:00 for a 04:00 ride is no problem. One exception: between 02:00 and 09:00 you can't book a ride that departs that same morning; book early-morning rides by 02:00 at the latest. Online booking no longer available? Call 085 060 2543 directly and we'll see what's possible.

Is there a night surcharge?

No. SchipholRide charges no night surcharge, no weekend surcharge and no public-holiday surcharge. The fixed price you see at booking is always the total, at 3 AM or at 2 PM.

How do I get to Schiphol at night without a car?

By night train if you live on the night network, otherwise by a taxi you book in advance. The NS night train calls at Schiphol about once an hour, on a small number of routes, including via Amsterdam, Leiden, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht. Flevoland and the Gooi area fall outside that night network. A few night buses run as well, often with a wait and a change. Not much fun with suitcases. A taxi takes you from your front door to the right departure hall at any hour. For the train, always check the current NS journey planner: engineering works regularly change the night service.

How can I arrange a Schiphol taxi for tonight?

Online in a few minutes: enter your pickup address, destination and time, choose a vehicle type and pay straight away with iDEAL, credit card, Bancontact, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You receive the confirmation by email. You can arrange everything online up to 1 hour ahead; only between 02:00 and 09:00 can you no longer book for that same morning. Book your return trip at the same time, so your pickup after landing is fixed too.

How much is a Schiphol taxi at night?

Exactly the same as during the day: a Schiphol taxi costs from €35 (Comfort) on the shortest routes, and for every route you see the fixed price before you book. No night or weekend surcharge is added; luggage and airport parking costs are included. For 5 to 8 people there are minivans from €50, and if you want luxury, VIP starts at €70.

What does a 30 km taxi ride cost, day or night?

An example: Alphen aan den Rijn to Schiphol is about 30 km and costs €60 in a Comfort, at night just as much as during the day. With SchipholRide you don't pay a price per kilometre but a fixed price per route. Outside rush hour, so at night too, the ride takes about 34 minutes. You see the price for your address straight away when you book.

Can I book an Uber at night?

You can try through the app, but you only find out what the ride costs at that moment. Uber uses dynamic pricing that changes from moment to moment, and that applies to a ride to Schiphol too. If you want to know in advance what you pay at night, book a taxi at a fixed price. With SchipholRide the amount is fixed as soon as you book, there is no night surcharge and your pickup time is set in advance.

Is an Uber cheaper than a taxi at night?

Sometimes, but often not. Uber works with dynamic pricing, and especially at night and around the first wave of departures (little supply, lots of demand) that fare can rise sharply. A pre-booked Schiphol taxi at a fixed price costs the same at any hour, and you know the amount before you get in. Compare by all means, but don't rely on the estimate in an app.

How do I know the driver will be on time in the middle of the night?

Right after booking you receive a confirmation by email with all the ride details, and night rides are scheduled with a driver well in advance. Questions or a last-minute request? The SchipholRide line is open day and night on 085 060 2543.

Where does my driver wait when I land at night?

At the pickup point we send you by email in advance. Once you have landed, your driver will contact you. You have 60 minutes of free waiting after landing, so even if the queue at passport control is long, you are not under pressure. From the pickup point you drive straight to your destination.

Can I share a taxi at night, or do I book privately?

Every ride is a private taxi: the vehicle is for you or your own group, with no detours past other people's addresses. Travelling with several people? Then simply share the fixed price: a minivan carries up to 8 passengers and 7 large suitcases, often cheaper per person than separate night bus or train tickets.

Is it safe to travel at night?

All affiliated drivers are licensed, and they drive professional vehicles that are clean and well maintained.
