Anyone searching for a “cheap taxi to Schiphol” really wants to know one thing: what will I actually pay? That is why we work with fixed fares per route. The price you see when you book is the price you pay, even if there is a traffic jam or a delay. Below are six examples; you will find every fixed fare on the prices page.
Fixed price per ride (not per person), including 9% VAT and luggage. Vehicles: Comfort (Volkswagen Passat or similar), Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar), Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar, up to 8 people), VIP (Mercedes S-Class or similar). Starting somewhere else? You can book a Schiphol taxi from any address straight away using the booking form.
No, there is no return discount: a return costs exactly twice the one-way fare, because the outward and return rides have the same fixed price. From Haarlem you pay €48 there and €48 back in a Comfort, €96 in total. What you do get: both rides are fixed in advance, your return flight is tracked if you give the flight number, and you have 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing.

Uber and Bolt use dynamic pricing: the fare for each ride is calculated from supply and demand at that very moment. On a quiet Tuesday afternoon, a ride with Uber or Bolt can be good value. But exactly when you need to get to Schiphol Airport (early morning, holiday peaks, rain), the price rises with demand, and you only see the final amount when you order.
A fixed-price Schiphol taxi works the other way round: the amount is set the moment you book, days or weeks in advance. Whatever happens after that (busy periods, bad weather, traffic jams), the price stays the same. So you know exactly where you stand while you plan, and you never pay extra just because half the country happens to be travelling at the same time.

Cheap is not just about the final figure but mostly about what does not get added on top. Our fixed fares already include everything that would count as a surcharge elsewhere. That is how a Schiphol taxi stays cheap, with no small print.
Going to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol at 03:30 costs exactly the same as at 15:00. Particularly handy for early flights, before public transport is running.
Suitcases, a pushchair or a golf bag: no luggage surcharge. Just mention any extra-large items in the comments field when you book your taxi.
Your flight is tracked live. If your plane lands later, the pickup moves automatically. The driver waits at the pickup point we send you by email in advance, with 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing.
The price is fixed, even if the ride takes longer because of a traffic jam or a diversion. Hold-ups on the way are our risk, not yours.
Up to 8 people in the Van share a single fare. With four or more travellers the price per person drops quickly, ideal for families and groups.

For one person with hand luggage, public transport is still the cheapest way to get to Schiphol airport: from Amsterdam Centraal the train gets you to the airport in a quarter of an hour for a few euros, and there are direct trains from Utrecht, The Hague and Rotterdam too. Travelling alone and light? Then by all means take the train. We would rather be honest about that.
A cheap taxi wins at other times: for night flights when there is no public transport, with a family and four suitcases, or when you travel together and share the fare. Travelling in comfort, without changing trains or lugging bags around, costs a bit more, but that soon pays for itself, especially with 3+ people. Undecided between driving yourself and a taxi? Work it out on our Schiphol parking or taxi page.
With more than 60 million passengers a year, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in Europe. It lies in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, about 17 kilometres south-west of Amsterdam city centre. From the Zuidas it is a drive of around fifteen minutes, and from the rest of the Randstad usually less than an hour.
Everything comes together at Schiphol Plaza: the central hall that links the railway station, the shops and the three departure halls. If you are flying out, your driver drops you off at the right departure hall for your flight.
Arriving at Schiphol Airport? We send you the pickup point by email in advance, and your driver will contact you once you have landed. Exactly how the pickup works is explained on our Schiphol pickup page. The affiliated drivers do these transfers every day and know the departure halls and the smartest approach routes like the back of their hand.
A cheap Schiphol taxi is only a good deal if the car actually turns up. That is why SchipholRide works only with experienced drivers and well-kept vehicles, and why you get a confirmation by email straight after every booking: an affordable taxi that doesn't compromise on reliability.

With SchipholRide, a ride from Amsterdam starts at €50 (Comfort, Zuid/Nieuw-West zone; from the city centre €50). That is a fixed total price including VAT and luggage. We don't claim to be the cheapest in the Netherlands, but we do promise that the price you see when you book is exactly what you pay, with no extra charges afterwards.
In a single booking. Switch on “Book return trip” in the booking form and enter the date and time of your return journey. Add the flight number of your return flight too: that flight is then tracked and the pickup time moves with it if you land later. You have 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing. You pay twice the fixed one-way fare, with no return discount and no return surcharge.
It varies from moment to moment. Uber uses dynamic pricing: good value at quiet times, considerably more expensive when it is busy. A fixed-price Schiphol taxi is often cheaper at peak times (early morning, holiday periods, rain) and always predictable: you know the amount when you book, whereas with Uber you only find out at the time.
You only see that in the app, at the moment you order. Uber uses dynamic pricing that changes from moment to moment: when it is busy, raining or at peak times, the fare goes up. That is why we don't give an amount here. With SchipholRide the price is fixed as soon as you book, at night too: from Haarlem, for example, €48 in a Comfort.
That is impossible to say for certain in advance: like Uber, Bolt uses dynamic fares that change from moment to moment. When it is busy or the weather is bad, the price goes up. If you want certainty about your travel budget, book a fixed-price Schiphol taxi. The amount is then fixed days in advance.
Look out for a fixed amount when you book, a written confirmation, a Dutch phone number you can actually reach, genuine reviews, well-kept vehicles and, if you are being picked up, free flight tracking. SchipholRide offers all of that, with an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars on Google, and you can call 085 060 2543 around the clock.
For one person with hand luggage: the train. From Amsterdam Centraal you are at Schiphol Airport in about 15 minutes for a few euros. With 3 or more people, lots of luggage or a night flight, a fixed-fare taxi often works out about the same or cheaper per person, and it is always door to door.
Our fixed fares depend on the distance and the vehicle class. Examples (Comfort): Amsterdam from €50, Haarlem €48, The Hague €80, Utrecht €80, Rotterdam €125. Premium, Van (up to 8 people) and VIP have their own fares. All prices are on the prices page, and you see them straight away in the booking form.
It depends on how many of you are travelling, how much luggage you have and when your flight leaves. On your own with hand luggage during the day, the train is usually cheapest. With two or more people, suitcases, an early or late flight or an address with no station nearby, a fixed taxi fare often beats train plus taxi, a metered taxi and a week of parking. The table puts the options side by side on what they cost in money, time and hassle.
Detailed comparisons with worked examples: taxi or train, taxi or shuttle, parking or taxi and fixed price versus the taxi meter.
The price follows the distance, so the towns and villages around the airport are the best value. These are the 30 lowest fixed fares in the country, up to €54. Each amount is per ride in a Comfort for up to four people, so every place also shows what you each pay when four of you travel together.
Distances are as the crow flies to the airport; by road they are around thirty per cent longer. The fare is a fixed total price including VAT, luggage and parking charges at Schiphol, the same in both directions and with no night or weekend surcharge. All 30 places have their own page showing the price for all four vehicle classes. Looking for a place that is not listed here? You will find the full overview on the prices page.
