Your taxi from Drachten to Schiphol Airport

Drachten, the largest town of Smallingerland, presents one peculiarity for air travellers: it has no railway station at all, so any flight begins with a bus or a car. That makes a taxi collecting you at home the most logical opening move, and SchipholRide prices it as one fixed total: €230 in Comfort (VW Passat or similar), €290 in Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar), €300 for the Van seating 5-8 people (V-Class or similar) and €490 in VIP (S-Class or similar).

The airport lies 159 kilometres away: around 126 minutes off-peak, nearer 164 in the rush hour. VAT, luggage and Schiphol parking charges are included in the fare, there is no night supplement, and cancellation is free up to a day before departure.

Your route and departure time

From Drachten the driver follows the A7 south towards Heerenveen, continuing via the A32 to Zwolle, where the A28 takes over. That motorway leads along Nunspeet, Harderwijk and Amersfoort, until the route turns towards Amsterdam at the Hoevelaken interchange or via the A1 and reaches the A4 to the terminal through the A10 ring or the Diemen interchange.

Off-peak this costs around 126 minutes. The obstruction sits on the A28 around Amersfoort and the Hoevelaken interchange, where the rush hour can push the travel time towards 164 minutes. Under heavy A28 pressure the driver can also weigh the A7 across the Afsluitdijk; for early flights, departure comes before the morning rush in any case.

Because Drachten has no railway station, nearly every ride to Schiphol starts at your own front door. The driver follows the A7 to Heerenveen and continues there over the A32 and onto the A28 at Zwolle. For a European flight at 07:00 you are at the airport by 05:00, the 2 hours ahead that Schiphol advises.

You are then collected at 02:35: about 126 minutes of off-peak driving, with 15 minutes of slack. At that hour even Amersfoort passes without delay.

For an intercontinental flight at 19:00 the crux is the A28 around Amersfoort and the Hoevelaken interchange. You are at Schiphol 3 hours ahead, at 16:00, and because the afternoon rush can stretch the ride to about 164 minutes, the driver comes at 13:00, again with 15 minutes of slack.

In heavy A28 traffic the driver can consider the A7 across the Afsluitdijk. From De Wiken, Drachtstervaart or Boornbergum, and from the other villages of Smallingerland, you ride at the same fixed fare: €230 in Comfort. There is no night, weekend or rush-hour surcharge, so you choose the pick-up moment purely on the basis of your flight.

Pickup in and around Drachten

Drivers collect all over Drachten: De Wiken, De Trisken and Drachtstervaart, De Bouwen, and the area around the shopping heart. Villages within the municipality of Smallingerland (Boornbergum, Opeinde, Oudega and Rottevalle) fall under the same fixed price.

With no railway station in town, boarding at your front door is usually the most agreeable choice anyway. Add your complete address when reserving; the planner then times the departure to your flight and the driver picks the quickest way onto the A7.

Pickup areas include

  • De Wiken
  • De Trisken
  • Drachtstervaart
  • De Bouwen
  • Boornbergum
  • Opeinde

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

“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 about this route

From your first fare check to your return ride to Drachten. Choose a topic and find the details you need before travelling.

Pickup & journey time

Am I collected in Opeinde or Oudega as well?

Yes: Opeinde, Oudega, Boornbergum, Rottevalle and the remaining villages lie in the municipality of Smallingerland and pay the same €230 in Comfort. The car pulls up at the door there just as in Drachten. Put your address in the booking and the pick-up time is fitted to your departure.

Passengers & return journeys

What amount do I pay from Drachten to Schiphol?

In Comfort it is €230, with VAT, cases and airport parking within the price. Those wanting more room choose Premium at €290, the Van (five to eight people) at €300 or VIP at €490. The tariff is agreed upfront, so queues on the A28 or a night-time ride make no difference.

Drachten has no station. How do I reach Schiphol easily?

Correct, Drachten has no railway station. Without a taxi you would first take a bus to Heerenveen or Leeuwarden and change onto the train there. A taxi collects you at home instead and drives door to door to Schiphol in around 126 minutes, sparing the luggage-laden changes.

For this town it is usually the handiest option.

When does the driver collect me for a 09:00 flight from Drachten?

To reach the airport around 07:00, and allowing for a rush-hour driving time of up to roughly 164 minutes, you are collected at about half past three. That places you well ahead of the A28 congestion near Amersfoort, and the early hour carries no supplement of any kind.

Is free cancellation possible from Drachten?

Up to a day before the pick-up time you may cancel at no cost. If your flight is rescheduled, report it promptly and the ride shifts along or is dropped. Cancel within that final day and the cancellation terms on the website take over.

Can I travel on business from Azeven or De Haven?

Yes. The driver comes to your company on the Azeven or De Haven estate; mention the company name and entrance with your reservation. Payment is online in advance. For your bookkeeping you receive an invoice with VAT.

The Comfort fare is €230, Premium €290. Off-peak you reach Schiphol in about 126 minutes.

Drachten–Schiphol with six travellers: how, without a station?

With the Van, a Mercedes V-Class or similar for 5 to 8 people. From Smallingerland the whole vehicle costs €300, with VAT, luggage and the Schiphol parking and drop-off costs in it. Without a station, one car from a shared address in De Trisken, Opeinde or Rottevalle is the simple answer.

The driver drops you together at the departures hall.

I land late. How do I get back to Drachten without a station?

The driver meets you at Schiphol and takes you to your door in about 126 minutes. Your flight is tracked live, so the pick-up time shifts along with any delay. After landing you have 60 minutes of free waiting time for baggage and customs.

Even deep into the night you pay the fixed €230 in Comfort, with no supplement for the late hour.
