Your ride from Eindhoven
Let's be honest: from Eindhoven, the direct intercity train is a genuine alternative — from Eindhoven Centraal you reach Schiphol in roughly an hour and a half without changing trains. A taxi via Schipholride costs a fixed all-in price from €215 (Comfort) and covers the 128 kilometres in about 110 minutes outside rush hour; during peak times that can stretch to about 140 minutes.
So when does the maths tip in the taxi's favour? For flights departing before the first train, when you have a lot of luggage, and as soon as you travel with three or more people — at that point the per-person cost already comes close to individual train tickets, but door to door from Woensel, Meerhoven or Stratum.
It also weighs up well against your own car: a week of parking at Schiphol plus the drive there and back is rarely relaxing. In every case you know the amount in advance: VAT, luggage and Schiphol parking charges are all included, and there is no night surcharge.
From the city, the driver takes the N2 (Randweg Eindhoven) and joins the A2 towards 's-Hertogenbosch and Utrecht. From there it stays one long line northward: at the Holendrecht interchange you switch to the A9, and at the Badhoevedorp interchange you swing onto the A4, which drops you right at the terminal.
Without congestion you reach the departures hall after about 110 minutes (128 kilometres). The familiar slowdowns on this route: the Leenderheide interchange and the N2 along De Hurk during the Eindhoven morning rush, the Oudenrijn interchange near Utrecht, and the stretch of A9 between Holendrecht and Badhoevedorp, where widening works are running in 2026 with the occasional weekend closure and diversions via the A2/A10.
During peak hours, therefore, count on a driving time that can climb to about 140 minutes; if your check-in margin is tight, leaving Eindhoven earlier is the only real solution.
Pick-up in Eindhoven
Pick-up is possible right across Eindhoven: from Woensel-Noord and Woensel-Zuid through the Centrum to Stratum, Gestel, Tongelre and Strijp. Meerhoven too — with the Grasrijk, Waterrijk and Zandrijk neighbourhoods on the western side — falls squarely within the pick-up area, as do addresses around Strijp-S station.
Business trips from the High Tech Campus, Flight Forum, Brainport Industries Campus or the De Hurk business park are common; add the building or company number when you book, and the driver will be waiting in the right spot.
If you set off from Eindhoven Centraal, choose a clear side (the city-centre side or Neckerspoel) as your pick-up point.

Taxi from Schiphol Airport to Eindhoven
If you land late at Schiphol, the direct train to Eindhoven is not always the pleasant option — certainly not with suitcases and an hour's drive ahead after a night-time arrival. Your flight is tracked live, so if it is delayed the driver simply shifts with it, and within about 110 minutes you are back at your door in Eindhoven, including in Meerhoven or Acht.

Top chauffeur, uitstekende rit!
Vriendelijke gast, rijdt fantastisch.
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
What time should I be picked up in Eindhoven for a 07:00 flight?+
Work backwards: Schiphol advises checking in a good two hours ahead, and the trip takes about 110 minutes outside rush hour. For a 07:00 departure you therefore set the pick-up time at around 03:00. Because there is no night surcharge, you pay the same fixed fare for such an early ride as you would during the day.
Isn't the train from Eindhoven simply faster and cheaper?+
For one person during the day: often yes — the direct intercity runs every half hour and takes about an hour and a half. The taxi wins for flights before the first train, with a lot of luggage and for groups: a Van for 5-8 people costs €280 in total, so per person that is comparable to train tickets, but door to door.
Which route does the taxi take and where is the congestion?+
Via the N2 and A2 towards Utrecht, then the A9 at Holendrecht and the A4 via the Badhoevedorp interchange to Schiphol. The slowdowns are the Leenderheide interchange, the N2 along De Hurk, Oudenrijn near Utrecht and the A9 works towards Badhoevedorp. Outside rush hour about 110 minutes; during peak times it can climb to about 140 minutes.
Will I also be picked up in Meerhoven, Acht or at the High Tech Campus?+
Yes, the pick-up area covers the entire municipality of Eindhoven: all city districts, so including Meerhoven and Acht on the north and west sides. Business pick-up addresses such as the High Tech Campus, Flight Forum or De Hurk are no problem — mention the building number when you book, and the driver will find you without driving in circles.
What exactly does a taxi from Eindhoven to Schiphol cost?+
The fixed all-in prices: Comfort €215 (VW Passat or similar), Premium €215 (Mercedes E-Class or similar), Van €280 for 5-8 people (V-Class or similar) and VIP €415 (S-Class or similar). VAT, luggage and Schiphol parking charges are included, free cancellation is possible up to 24 hours in advance, and after landing you get 60 minutes of free waiting time.
Where does the taxi drop me off at Schiphol?+
Your driver drops you off at the departure hall, as close to your check-in as possible. Schiphol's parking and pick-up fees are already included in your fixed price.
How early should I be at Schiphol before my flight?+
Schiphol recommends 2 hours for a European flight and 3 hours for an intercontinental one. Your driver plans the pickup time around that, with a margin for rush hour.
Can I book a return trip in one go?+
Yes, you arrange your outbound and return ride in one booking with the return option in the booking flow. For the return your driver tracks your flight and 60 minutes of free waiting time apply.
