Your taxi from Amsterdam to Schiphol Airport

Amsterdam accounts for most Schiphol journeys in the Netherlands, and if you live in Zuid or Nieuw-West, you are there in 15 to 20 minutes via the A10 and A4. From the centre, the Jordaan or De Pijp, expect 20 to 30 minutes; from Noord or IJburg, 25 to 40, because you first have to cross the ring road.

That is why SchipholRide works with three fixed price zones in Amsterdam rather than a single city rate: Comfort costs €50 from Zuid and Nieuw-West, €50 from the centre, the Jordaan and De Pijp, and €55 from Noord, IJburg and Zuidoost.

Whichever zone applies, the price you see when booking is the price you pay. Premium, the Van and VIP follow the same zones; a VIP S-Class is €115 from the centre and €120 from Noord, IJburg and Zuidoost.

Your route and departure time

Via the A10 and A4 to your flight

The driver chooses the route based on live traffic: the standard way runs via the A10-Zuid and the A4, and via the S-roads or the A9 when there are queues. The morning rush (07:00-09:30) is heaviest on the A10-West and around the Zuidas; outside those hours you reach the airport from most districts in around half an hour.

The pickup time is planned around the current traffic situation, so even during roadworks on the ring road you arrive at Schiphol without stress, and the fixed zone price does not change because of it.

Pickup in and around Amsterdam

From the Jordaan to IJburg

The driver collects you from any address: home, hotel or office. On the Zuidas and at the stations (Centraal, Zuid, Sloterdijk, Amstel, Bijlmer ArenA), the driver confirms an exact boarding spot by text message, useful where there are loading windows and taxi ranks.

A concert or conference? Around events at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, Ziggo Dome and RAI, extra time is built in because of closures and crowds.

Pickup areas include

  • Zuid
  • Zuidas
  • Buitenveldert
  • Nieuw-West
  • Osdorp
  • Centrum
  • De Pijp
  • Oost
  • IJburg
  • Noord

Stations: Amsterdam Centraal, Amsterdam Zuid, Sloterdijk, Amstel, Bijlmer ArenA

Business pickups also available at: Zuidas. Enter your business address for a direct ride from the office to departures, with an invoice on request.

Travelling to or from an event? Around Johan Cruijff ArenA, Ziggo Dome, AFAS Live, RAI you can book a door-to-door ride too, useful after the last train or bus has left.
