Your ride from Franeker
Franeker, the old university town with the Eise Eisinga Planetarium, sits in north-west Friesland, 135 kilometres from Schiphol. Schipholride asks one fixed total for the ride: €220 in Comfort (VW Passat or similar), €265 in Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar), €290 for the Van carrying 5-8 people (V-Class or similar) and €435 in VIP (S-Class or similar).
Reckon on around 108 minutes outside the rush; if the roads clog, it can become roughly 140. A fixed sum means VAT, luggage and the Schiphol parking charges are already in, and the small hours generate no supplement.
Whoever flies early from this part of Friesland is better off with a driver at the door than with a train that first requires a change via Leeuwarden. Free cancellation runs up to 24 hours before your departure time.
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.
Pick-up in Franeker
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.

Taxi from Schiphol Airport to Franeker
Returning at night or late in the evening, the railway towards Franeker is slow at that hour and runs via a change in Leeuwarden. Your driver stands ready regardless and takes you home for the same €220, without a night tariff.
As your flight is monitored, the pick-up time slides automatically with any delay, and sixty minutes of free waiting time follow the landing.

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 do I pay for a taxi ride from Franeker to Schiphol?+
The Comfort class comes to €220 as a fixed total; VAT, your luggage and the parking at Schiphol are already counted in. Premium costs €265, the eight-seat Van €290 and VIP €435. Whatever the road brings — a queue on the dam or bustle near Purmerend — the amount is settled beforehand.
Does the ride from Franeker really cross the Afsluitdijk?+
It does. From north-west Friesland the A7 across the Afsluitdijk is by far the shortest link to Noord-Holland and Schiphol. Normally it flows smoothly, though strong winds or roadworks can close a carriageway. The driver weighs that into the departure moment; your fixed price is untouched by it.
Does the fixed price cover Dronrijp or Sexbierum too?+
Certainly. Dronrijp, Sexbierum, Tzummarum, Menaam and the other villages lie in the municipality of Waadhoeke and pay precisely the same €220 in Comfort as Franeker itself. You are collected at home there; enter your address when booking and the planner matches the pick-up time to your flight.
When should I depart for an early-morning flight?+
Without traffic the ride lasts around 108 minutes. For an 08:00 flight you want to stand at the airport around 06:00, so you leave home towards a quarter to four. That keeps you comfortably ahead of the morning bustle near Purmerend and the Amsterdam ring, still at the ordinary tariff.
Is the taxi handier than the railway from Franeker?+
From Franeker station you travel with one or two changes via Leeuwarden, which with waiting time soon swallows two and a half hours. The taxi delivers you to the departure hall in around 108 minutes without lifting cases across platforms. From four travellers, the Van also rivals separate train tickets per person.
