Taxi Haarlemmermeer to Schiphol

With the terminal in the middle of the polder, the drive from most villages is short and straightforward. From Hoofddorp the N201 or the A4 delivers you to the airport in a handful of minutes; from Nieuw-Vennep the driver takes the N207 and then the A4 northbound, while Badhoevedorp and Lijnden connect almost directly via the A9 and A4 to the Schiphol exit.

Across the average distance of 10 kilometres you should count on about 16 minutes outside the peaks. Congestion tends to sit on the feeder roads around the airport rather than the ride itself: the A4 between Hoofddorp and Schiphol and the N201 can clog during the morning and evening rush, nudging the journey towards a good quarter of an hour to twenty minutes.

The driver knows the polder well and picks the quickest way to the correct terminal for your departure point and time of day.

The airport sits in the middle of the Haarlemmermeer polder, so your drive is short and the rush hour weighs relatively heavily. An intercontinental flight at 19:00 calls for three hours ahead, which means 16:00 at Schiphol.

The A4 between Hoofddorp and Schiphol and the N201 can then fill up, and instead of around 16 minutes you work with 25. With 15 minutes of slack on top of that rush-hour time, the driver is at your door at 15:20, in Toolenburg just as in Vijfhuizen.

Early in the morning that barely plays a part. For a European flight at 07:00 you want to be in the departures hall at 05:00, two hours ahead, and a pick-up at 04:25 covers the 16-minute drive plus 15 minutes in reserve.

Because the municipality is large, the road differs per village: Badhoevedorp sits right on the A9, Nieuw-Vennep uses the N207 and the A4, and Hoofddorp the N201 or the A4. Give your exact address and the pick-up time is set to match. The hour does not touch the fare. Comfort is €42, with no night, weekend or rush-hour surcharge.

Haarlemmermeer counts a long list of villages and pick-up happens in all of them: sprawling Hoofddorp with districts such as Toolenburg, Floriande and Overbos, plus Nieuw-Vennep, Badhoevedorp, Lijnden, Zwanenburg, Vijfhuizen, Cruquius, Rijsenhout and Abbenes.

Enter your full address at booking and the driver arrives at the door, whether that is a residential street in Hoofddorp, a company at the Schiphol Trade Park logistics estate or a house on the polder's edge. Hoofddorp and Nieuw-Vennep stations lie on the line towards Schiphol, yet over such a short distance, and with bags in tow, a direct taxi usually beats public transport with a change.
