Your ride from Almelo
The run from Almelo to Schiphol is a proper cross-country journey through Twente: 162 kilometres, around 131 minutes outside the rush hour and closer to 170 when the motorways fill up. Over a distance like that, a fixed all-in fare counts double, and Schipholride offers exactly that: €235 in Comfort (VW Passat or similar), €295 in Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar), €305 for the Van seating 5-8 people (V-Class or similar) and €505 in VIP (S-Class or similar).
VAT, luggage and the parking charges at Schiphol are already included, and there is no night surcharge, which is relevant here because many travellers from Twente set off remarkably early. A screened driver collects you at your door in Nijrees, the Schelfhorst or any other part of town, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pick-up.
The standard route leaves Almelo on the A35 to the Azelo interchange, where the driver turns west onto the A1. That motorway carries you a long way: past Deventer, Apeldoorn and Amersfoort, until the road swings towards Amsterdam at the Eemnes and Muiderberg interchanges.
From there the driver reaches the A4 to the terminal via the Diemen interchange or the A10 ring. Off-peak, the whole journey takes around 131 minutes. The stretch of A1 between Apeldoorn and Amersfoort is a notorious bottleneck in the morning rush, and the Hoevelaken interchange near Amersfoort regularly seizes up too; in the busiest hours the trip can grow to around 170 minutes.
For early flights the pick-up is therefore planned well before the rush; travelling by day, the driver builds these known pinch points into the schedule and can switch to the A28-A27 variant past Utrecht if the A1 is at a standstill.
Pick-up in Almelo
Drivers collect from every part of Almelo, from Nijrees and the Schelfhorst to Windmolenbroek, Aadorp and the Sluitersveld, and the village of Bornerbroek within the municipality falls under the same fixed fare.
If you live in the centre around the Grotestraat, agree a boarding spot on the edge of the pedestrianised zone when you book. For a very early flight, an address just outside the centre works well: the driver can pull up promptly and you are on the A35 without detours.
Areas served: Nijrees · Schelfhorst · Windmolenbroek · Aadorp · Sluitersveld · Bornerbroek; stations: Station Almelo, Station Almelo de Riet
Taxi from Schiphol Airport to Almelo
Landing late in the evening or in the middle of the night? There is no fast train back to Twente at that hour, so the driver simply takes you home for the same fixed amount; the nocturnal timing adds nothing. Your flight is monitored live, the pick-up moment shifts automatically if you are delayed, and after landing you have sixty minutes of free waiting time to collect your luggage.

Vriendelijke gast, rijdt fantastisch.
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

Frequently asked questions
How much does a taxi from Almelo to Schiphol cost?+
Comfort comes to €235, an all-in figure with VAT, suitcases and the airport parking charges included. For more space or luxury there is Premium at €295, the eight-seat Van at €305 and VIP at €505. The fare is agreed in advance, so even if the rush hour stretches the journey, the price stays put.
When will I be collected in Almelo for a 09:00 flight?+
You want to be at Schiphol around 07:00 to check in calmly. With a driving time that can reach around 170 minutes in the morning rush, that means a pick-up at about 04:00. The driver deliberately plans ahead of the A1 rush, keeping you clear of the congestion around Apeldoorn and Amersfoort.
Is the train from Almelo a better option?+
The rail journey from Almelo station involves a change and takes roughly two hours to the airport. A taxi means no switching platforms at Amersfoort or Utrecht with your luggage, boarding in your own street in Nijrees or Aadorp, and no risk of being stranded after the last train. With four or more travellers, the Van brings the per-person cost down sharply.
Can we pick someone up on the way to Schiphol?+
Yes, an extra stop is possible, for instance to collect a fellow traveller in Wierden or Rijssen. Pass on the address when you book so the driver can factor in the route and the timing. A small detour within the region usually leaves the fixed price unchanged; larger detours are agreed beforehand.
What happens if my return flight to Almelo lands late?+
The arrival time is tracked, so the driver responds to the actual landing rather than the schedule and never turns up too early or too late. You get a free hour for the baggage hall, and even deep in the night the fare remains the agreed €235, with no supplement for the hour.
Can I get a child seat for the ride to Schiphol?+
Yes. At the vehicle step of the booking form, select a Maxi-Cosi (infant seat) or toddler seat: €15 per ride, charged once. Your driver will have the seat ready and installed.
Can I pay with iDEAL or credit card?+
Yes, you pay online in advance with iDEAL, credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The amount you see at booking is the full amount: there is nothing to pay in the car.
Where does the taxi drop me off at Schiphol?+
Your driver drops you off at the departure hall, as close to your check-in as possible. Schiphol's parking and pick-up fees are already included in your fixed price.
