Your ride from Amersfoort
From Amersfoort, the drive to Schiphol runs via the A1 and the A9 and takes around 60 minutes off-peak — a journey of 64 kilometres. With Schipholride you book that trip for a fixed all-in price from €100 (Comfort), including VAT, luggage and the parking costs at Schiphol. During the morning and evening rush hour the travel time can stretch to around 85 minutes, especially near the Hoevelaken interchange and on the A1 towards Amsterdam; the driver factors this into the planning. Alongside Comfort (VW Passat or similar) there is Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar, €120), Van for 5-8 passengers (V-Class or similar, €125) and VIP (S-Class or similar, €185). There is no night surcharge, cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance, and on a pickup from Schiphol your flight is tracked live.
The standard route follows the A1 towards Amsterdam: the driver joins the motorway at one of the Amersfoort slip roads or via the Hoevelaken interchange and continues past Baarn, Eemnes and Bussum to the Diemen interchange. From there, traffic heading for Schiphol usually takes the A9, through the Gaasperdammertunnel and past Amstelveen, up to the junction with the A4 at Badhoevedorp and the airport exits. Off-peak, those 64 kilometres take around 60 minutes. During the morning rush hour (roughly 06:30-09:30) and the evening rush hour (16:00-19:00) that can rise to around 85 minutes; well-known bottlenecks are the Hoevelaken interchange, the A1 between Eemnes and Muiderberg, and the A9 around Amstelveen. If the A1 is gridlocked, the driver can divert via the A27 at the Eemnes interchange or through Utrecht along the A28 and A2 — navigation with live traffic data decides the fastest option en route.
Pick-up in Amersfoort
Drivers pick up across the whole of Amersfoort: from Vathorst and Kattenbroek in the north to the Leusderkwartier and the Soesterkwartier on the other side of the railway. From Vathorst and Nieuwland the north side puts you on the A1 quickly; from the centre and the Isselt business park the route runs via the Amsterdamseweg to the motorway. A pickup at Amersfoort Centraal, Schothorst or Vathorst station is possible too — handy if you collect fellow travellers from the train before driving on to Schiphol together. Give your exact address when booking; the driver will be at the door at the agreed time.

Pick-up from Schiphol
After landing at Schiphol you have 60 minutes of free waiting time, so even with plenty of luggage or a queue at passport control you are never pressed for time. If you land between 16:00 and 19:00, allow for evening rush hour on the A9 and the A1 towards Amersfoort; the driver will pick an alternative route if needed based on live traffic.
Frequently asked questions
What time should I leave Amersfoort for an 08:00 morning flight?+
Work back from your flight: allow a good 2 hours for check-in, so you want to be at Schiphol around 06:00. With around 60 minutes of driving time (there is no rush hour that early) plus some margin, that means a pickup in Amersfoort at around 04:45-05:00. There is no night surcharge, so this early time costs nothing extra.
How much does a taxi from Amersfoort to Schiphol cost?+
You pay a fixed total per car: Comfort €100 (VW Passat or similar), Premium €120 (Mercedes E-Class or similar), Van €125 for 5-8 passengers (V-Class or similar) and VIP €185 (S-Class or similar). VAT, luggage and the Schiphol parking costs are included, and the same rate applies at night.
Isn't the train from Amersfoort the more logical choice?+
From Amersfoort Centraal, direct intercity trains reach Schiphol in roughly 45-60 minutes — a fine option if you live close to the station and travel light. A taxi wins on door-to-door: from Vathorst or Kattenbroek you would otherwise have to get to the station first, and with a lot of suitcases, an early flight or 3-4 travellers per car the fixed price is often more practical.
Do drivers also pick up in Hoogland, Vathorst or at Schothorst station?+
Yes, the entire Amersfoort municipality falls within the pickup area: from Hoogland and Vathorst in the north to the Leusderkwartier in the south, including all three NS stations. The fixed rate of €100 (Comfort) applies to any pickup address within Amersfoort — the neighbourhood makes no difference to the price.
Can I also book for business or with a group from Amersfoort?+
Absolutely. For business trips from office locations such as De Hoef or Isselt, travellers often choose Premium (E-Class or similar, €120) or VIP (S-Class or similar, €185). If you travel with 5-8 people, for example a project team or family, everyone fits in one Van (V-Class or similar) for €125 total — often cheaper than separate train tickets.
