A refund here means: no voucher tricks
In the travel industry, a "refund" often turns out to be a voucher or travel credit with an expiry date. Not at SchipholRide: if your cancellation qualifies for a refund, the amount goes back as real money to the payment method you paid with. No voucher, no credit, no expiry date. And if you miss your flight or it gets cancelled? Report it at least 4 hours before your pickup and we move your booking to a new time free of charge — or you cancel with a 50% refund. That is also how it is written in our terms and conditions.
Changes
What you can change
For most changes: free up to 24 hours before the ride.
Date or time
Free up to 24h before the ride. Closer than that depends on availability and season — call us and we'll see what's possible.
Vehicle type
Comfort → Premium, Van or VIP upgrade: surcharge known up front. Downgrade: partial refund. Free up to 24h before pickup.
Pickup or drop-off address
Change within the same city: free. A substantially different starting point may carry a fee (€7.50 per extra stop; detour kilometres at our regular per-km rate).
Number of travellers
More people than the vehicle seats: upgrade needed. Fewer people: price stays the same (the fixed price is per vehicle, not per person).
Add or change a flight number
Always free. Email or WhatsApp us your new flight number — we'll link it to live tracking.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a no-show?+
The driver waits up to 15 minutes after the agreed pickup time. If you do not appear at the pickup address within those 15 minutes and cannot be reached by phone, this counts as a no-show: the ride is forfeited with no refund.
What if I miss my flight or my flight is cancelled?+
Let us know at least 4 hours before your scheduled pickup on 085 060 2543. We then move your booking to a new time free of charge — your replacement flight, for instance — or you cancel with a 50% refund. If you tell us later than 4 hours ahead, or we can't reach you, the ride counts as a no-show without a refund.
How long does a refund take?+
5–7 business days back to the original payment method. iDEAL is usually faster (3–5 days); credit card refunds can take up to 10 business days depending on your bank.
I made a change but never got a confirmation+
Check your spam/junk folder. Nothing there? Call 085 060 2543 or email info@schipholride.nl with your booking reference.
Can I transfer my booking to someone else?+
Yes. Send us the new name and phone number by email or WhatsApp. No fees.
What if I'm unsure about cancelling and time is short?+
Cancel first (a 50% refund beats a no-show with 0%). Decide later — if you still want the ride, call 085 060 2543 right away and we'll arrange a new booking as fast as we can. If a vehicle is still free, often the same driver too.
