Your ride from Alphen aan den Rijn
Alphen aan den Rijn sits about 30 kilometres from Schiphol, and the short, manageable distance shows mainly in the pick-up: whether you live in Kerk en Zanen, Ridderveld or Oudshoorn, a screened driver reaches you quickly and the journey itself stays brief. Schipholride is a booking platform that arranges an independent driver for a fixed all-in price from €85 (Comfort, VW Passat or similar), and outside the rush hour you are at the departure hall in around 35 minutes. If you prefer more room or a touch of luxury, Premium in a Mercedes E-Class or similar is €100, a Van for 5 to 8 people is €110 (V-Class or similar), and VIP in an S-Class or similar is €165. Each amount already includes VAT, luggage and the parking costs at Schiphol, and a night journey costs exactly the same. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.
From the centre and the northern side of Alphen the driver usually takes the N207: out of the city along the Eisenhowerlaan, past Woubrugge, Rijnsaterwoude and Leimuiden, and onto the A4 towards Schiphol there. Outside the rush hour that puts you at the airport in roughly 35 minutes. Between 7:00 and 9:00, and again late in the afternoon, the N207 towards Leimuiden and the A4 grow busier, so expect the journey to stretch to around 50 minutes at those times. If you live on the western or southern side, near Rijnhaven or in Kerk en Zanen for instance, the N11 towards Leiden is sometimes the more logical line: it joins the A4 at Zoeterwoude, after which you follow the same motorway northwards. Which option it becomes is something your driver decides on the day, based on the live traffic — and when the province carries out its regular overnight roadworks on the N207, the driver diverts via the N11.
Pick-up in Alphen aan den Rijn
A driver can collect you in every Alphen district: from Kerk en Zanen and Ridderveld to Oudshoorn, Hoorn, Zegersloot and the Lage and Hoge Zijde around the centre. Alphen aan den Rijn station works perfectly well as a pick-up point too, handy if colleagues join the ride from there. Business journeys from Molenwetering along the N11, Rijnhaven or Heimanswetering are easily arranged — and because Molenwetering and Rijnhaven sit right on the through-roads, you lose no time in city traffic. Outlying villages within the municipality, such as Boskoop, fall within the coverage as well.

Pick-up from Schiphol
On the way back to Alphen the time of day matters most: after a late landing you travel a near-empty N207 or N11 and are home within around 35 minutes, whereas the train at that hour means changing at Leiden. Your flight is tracked live, so even if it is delayed a driver is ready and waiting — with 60 minutes of free waiting time after you land.
Frequently asked questions
What time will I be collected in Alphen aan den Rijn for an 08:00 flight?+
Schiphol advises being at the airport a good two hours before departure. The journey from Alphen takes around 35 minutes outside the rush hour, and that early in the day the N207 and A4 are still quiet. A pick-up time around 05:15 therefore gives you plenty of margin for check-in and security before your 08:00 flight.
Does the driver take the N207 or the N11 towards Schiphol?+
Both come up. The default choice is the N207 via Leimuiden to the A4, the shortest line from the centre and the northern districts. When the N207 is busy, during overnight roadworks, or for a starting point on the south-western side, your driver picks the N11 to Leiden and joins the A4 northwards there instead.
Can I also be collected in Boskoop or on the Molenwetering business park?+
Yes. The coverage spans the whole municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn, so alongside every city district it includes villages such as Boskoop. You simply give a business pick-up address on Molenwetering, Rijnhaven or Heimanswetering when you book; those sites sit close to the N11 and the through-roads, so no extra time is lost reaching them.
Isn't the train from Alphen aan den Rijn station a cheaper option?+
The train is often cheaper, but there is no direct connection: you change at Leiden. With luggage, children, or a flight at an early or late hour, a door-to-door taxi from your address to the departure hall is more practical, especially when you split the fixed €85 fare between several travellers heading to the airport together.
Six of us are flying from Alphen — does that fit in one vehicle?+
Yes, the Van is built for exactly that: a Mercedes V-Class or similar with room for 5 to 8 people including luggage, for a fixed all-in price of €110. That works out cheaper per person than two separate cars or six train tickets with a change at Leiden, and you all set off together from one address.
