Taxi Enkhuizen
to Schiphol

Your ride from Enkhuizen

Where the IJsselmeer meets the Markermeer, at the far eastern tip of West-Friesland, lies the old VOC town of Enkhuizen — departure point of the ferry to Stavoren and a solid 77 kilometres from Schiphol. Off-peak the drive takes about 70 minutes, and for anyone facing an early flight a taxi waiting at the door beats wrestling with sparse night-time public transport.

Schipholride fixes the fare in advance: €140 for Comfort (VW Passat or similar), €170 for Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar), €185 for an eight-seat Van (V-Class or similar) and €280 for VIP (S-Class or similar) — VAT, suitcases and Schiphol parking included, with no night surcharge.

On a town more than an hour out, that certainty counts: the amount is locked when you book. Returning, your flight is followed live and the pick-up shifts if you land early or late.

Almost the whole journey from Enkhuizen runs along the N302 and the A7. You leave town towards Hoorn, where the A7 begins its course south through West-Friesland; past Purmerend and alongside Zaandam the route joins the ring around Amsterdam, continuing over the Coenplein interchange, the A10 and finally the A4 to the Schiphol exit.

Those 77 kilometres take around 70 minutes when traffic is light. The rural, northern half through West-Friesland usually flows well; trouble concentrates at the lower end, on the A7 and A8 around Zaandam and the A10-west, which can clog in the morning and evening rush.

Journey time then stretches to an hour and a half or more. Given the length of the ride, your driver schedules the pick-up with a generous buffer, so a jam near Amsterdam never threatens your flight.

Pick-up in Enkhuizen

Anywhere in Enkhuizen works as a starting point, from the historic centre with its canals and the Drommedaris tower to residential districts such as Kadijken, Gommerwijk and the streets near the Enkhuizerzand.

In the narrow lanes of the old town the driver halts as close to your address as possible or at a logical spot around the corner — do pass on the exact address when booking. Enkhuizen station marks the end of the railway line from Amsterdam, yet with suitcases and an early departure a door-to-door taxi tends to be calmer than a train plus a change.

Residents of nearby Bovenkarspel and Grootebroek can be collected en route when arranged in advance.

Taxi from Schiphol Airport to Enkhuizen

For the leg home, a taxi proves its worth late in the evening and at night, when train services towards West-Friesland thin out and standing on platforms after a long flight holds little appeal. Your driver tracks the flight and covers the roughly 70-minute run from Schiphol to your door, the pick-up moment aligned with your actual landing.
