Taxi Franeker to Schiphol

The road to Schiphol begins on the A31, which brings you from Franeker to Zurich, where the A7 climbs onto the Afsluitdijk. Beyond the dam, at Den Oever, the driver stays on the A7 through West-Friesland, past Hoorn and Purmerend, finally reaching the A4 to the departure hall via the A8 or the northern A10 ring.

In normal conditions the clock stops around 108 minutes. Two things can spoil the schedule: the Afsluitdijk occasionally loses a carriageway to storms or maintenance, and the approach to Amsterdam via Purmerend and the ring thickens in the rush hour.

Then count on up to roughly 140 minutes. The driver checks the live situation on the dam before setting out and adjusts the pick-up moment to it.

During a storm or maintenance, the Afsluitdijk sometimes loses a lane. That is the uncertain factor on a ride from Franeker, which is why the driver checks the situation on the dyke before setting off. For a European flight at 07:00 you are at Schiphol by 05:00, as Schiphol advises 2 hours ahead for Europe.

You are collected at 02:55: about 108 minutes over the A31 and A7, plus 15 minutes of slack. From almost any address the slip road onto the A31 is only a few minutes away.

Flying intercontinental at 19:00 means 3 hours ahead, so 16:00 at Schiphol. In the afternoon the approach to Amsterdam via Purmerend and the ring road backs up, and the ride can then take about 140 minutes. The driver therefore picks you up at 13:25, including 15 minutes of slack.

In the narrow historic heart, where some stretches are reachable only on foot, you agree on a pick-up spot; in the Professorenbuurt the car simply pulls up. From Dronrijp, Sexbierum, Tzummarum or Menaam you pay the same as in Franeker: €200 in Comfort. The hour of departure changes nothing, as night, weekend and rush hour carry no surcharge.

Boarding is possible anywhere in Franeker, from the canal houses of the protected townscape to the Professorenbuurt and the newer streets on the town's edge. Living in one of the surrounding villages of the municipality of Waadhoeke (think Dronrijp, Sexbierum, Tzummarum or Menaam), the very same fixed price applies.

The historic heart is narrow and in places accessible only on foot, so note your precise address when reserving and the driver selects a suitable boarding point. From nearly every address the A31 slip road is a few minutes away.
