Without a reservation, a street taxi may charge up to about €709 for this ride (±196 km, ±160 min) under the Dutch legal maximum meter rates for 2026. With us the price is fixed at €280 (Comfort) before you book, 60% below that legal maximum.*
* Comparison with the Dutch legal maximum taxi tariffs 2026 (passenger car: €4.31 start + €3.17/km + €0.52/min, wetten.overheid.nl), calculated over the usual off-peak travel time. Street taxis may charge less than the maximum; actual savings vary per ride. Full calculation per city.
From Schiphol back to Emmen
Enter your flight number when booking.
Taxi from Schiphol to EmmenThe driver tracks your flight and contacts you once you have landed. You receive the pickup point by email in advance. Your arrival is arranged, even after a late landing.
Book 24/7 throughout the Randstad and beyond, to Schiphol and back. Bear in mind that the train back to Emmen always involves a change in Zwolle, so if you land late in the evening a taxi is usually the more practical choice for those 196 kilometres home. Your driver sees your actual landing time, and you have 60 minutes of free waiting after touchdown, so even after a queue at passport control there is no pressure. You pay the same fixed price on the way back as on the way out.

Your taxi from Emmen to Schiphol Airport
Catching an early flight from Drenthe usually means leaving in the middle of the night, and the last thing you want is to depend on a connection in Zwolle. A taxi from Emmen to Schiphol is one of the longer runs we handle: roughly 196 kilometres, around 160 minutes outside the rush hour and up to about 210 minutes in the morning or evening peak, so plan your departure with that in mind.
SchipholRide arranges it for a fixed all-in price from €280, with VAT, luggage and the parking costs at Schiphol already included, and there is no night surcharge: a pick-up at three in the morning costs exactly the same as one in daylight.
Your driver comes to the door in any neighbourhood, from Parc Sandur to Emmerhout. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup, and on the return leg your flight is tracked live.
Your route and departure time
From Emmen the driver takes the A37 towards Hoogeveen; at the Hoogeveen interchange the route switches to the A28 heading for Zwolle and Amersfoort. Past the Hoevelaken interchange you follow the A1 towards Amsterdam and then the A9, which runs through Amstelveen and reaches the Schiphol exit almost directly at the Badhoevedorp interchange.
In total that is 196 kilometres, the vast majority of it motorway, and outside the rush hour you rarely come to a standstill. The busy stretches all sit in the second half: the A28 around Zwolle and between Nijkerk and Amersfoort, the Hoevelaken interchange, the A1 through Het Gooi and the A9 near Amstelveen.
In the morning peak towards the Randstad the total journey can therefore stretch to around 210 minutes. If you live on the eastern side of the municipality, for example in Klazienaveen, you join the A37 via the N862; from the centre and the western neighbourhoods the ring road puts you on the motorway within a few minutes.
Pickup in and around Emmen
Your driver collects you anywhere in Emmen: from Emmen-Centrum, Emmermeer and Angelslo to Bargeres, Rietlanden, Delftlanden and Parc Sandur beside the Grote Rietplas. The surrounding villages, such as Klazienaveen, Nieuw-Amsterdam and Emmer-Compascuum, work just as well as a pick-up address.
If you would rather board at a station, that can be Emmen station in the centre or Emmen Zuid, where there is a generous car park right next to the platform. For business trips from Bargermeer, the A37 business park or GETEC Park.Emmen (the former Emmtec site), simply give the company address and any reference when you book.
Pickup areas include
- Emmen-Centrum
- Emmermeer
- Angelslo
- Emmerhout
- Bargeres
- Rietlanden
- Delftlanden
- Parc Sandur
Stations: Station Emmen, Station Emmen Zuid
Business pickups also available at: Bargermeer · Bedrijvenpark A37 · GETEC Park.Emmen (voorheen Emmtec). 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 Emmen. Choose a topic and find the details you need before travelling.
Fares & booking
What if I miss my flight or my flight gets cancelled?
Let us know at least 4 hours before your scheduled pickup on 085 060 2543. We then move your ride to a new time free of charge, 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.
Pickup & journey time
What time will I be collected in Emmen for an 08:00 flight?
For an 08:00 departure you want to be at Schiphol around 06:00 to check in comfortably. With roughly 160 minutes of driving time outside the rush hour, that puts the pick-up at around 03:15, usually with a little extra margin built in.
Because there is no night surcharge, a night-time run like this still costs the same fixed fare as one in daylight.
Is a taxi from Emmen faster than the train to Schiphol?
By train you always change in Zwolle and are on the way for a good two hours including the connection, before you even count the journey to the station. The taxi covers it door to door in around 160 minutes outside the rush hour.
So the travel times are fairly close; the real difference is the ease with luggage, very early or late flights, and travelling as a group.
Can I book a Schiphol trip from Klazienaveen or Nieuw-Amsterdam too?
Yes. You simply enter your own address when you book, and SchipholRide arranges a driver who collects you at home, including in the villages within the municipality of Emmen. From Klazienaveen you join the A37 quickly via the N862, so it barely affects the total journey time.
You see the exact price before you confirm, with no hidden extras added afterwards.
Can I bring a wheelchair or walker?
Yes, your wheelchair or walker travels free of charge. If it's too big for the boot, mention it when booking so a suitable vehicle can be scheduled. On request we can also arrange a wheelchair-accessible taxi.
Do you also drive on public holidays and New Year's Eve?
Yes: 24/7, all year round, including New Year's Eve, with no surcharge.
Passengers & return journeys
My return flight lands later than planned. Will someone still be there?
Yes. Your flight is tracked live, so if the aircraft touches down later at Schiphol the driver adjusts the arrival time accordingly. After landing you also have 60 minutes of free waiting time, which is enough for passport control and the baggage belt before the 196-kilometre journey back to Emmen begins.
Six of us are travelling with winter-sports luggage. Which option fits?
Then choose the Van: a Mercedes V-Class or similar with room for 5 to 8 people, for a fixed all-in price of €365 including luggage. Split between six travellers that works out at around €61 each, door to door.
If you would prefer more comfort as a pair or a foursome, there are also Comfort (€280), Premium (€350) and VIP (€595).
