Your ride from Heerhugowaard
From Heerhugowaard, now part of the Dijk en Waard municipality, Schipholride offers a fixed all-in price from €95 for a taxi to Schiphol, with VAT, luggage and the parking costs at the airport already included. The 53-kilometre journey takes around 50 minutes outside the rush hour, rising to roughly 70 minutes in the morning or evening peak. You choose your own segment: Comfort (€95, VW Passat or similar), Premium (€115, Mercedes E-Class or similar), Van for 5-8 people (€125, V-Class or similar) or VIP (€185, S-Class or similar). There is no night surcharge, so a 04:30 departure from Stad van de Zon or De Noord costs exactly the same as a daytime ride. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure, and if you are collected at Schiphol you get 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing.
The standard route leaves Heerhugowaard along the Zuidtangent and joins the N242, the provincial road that runs down the western edge of town (locally the Westerweg) and connects to the A9 at the Kooimeer interchange just south of Alkmaar. From there it is a single straight run southwards: the A9 past Castricum and Uitgeest, through the Wijkertunnel under the North Sea Canal, and onto the Schiphol exit at the Badhoevedorp interchange. Outside the rush hour you are at the departure hall in around 50 minutes. The N242 near Alkmaar and the A9 around the Wijkertunnel are the familiar bottlenecks: on weekdays between 7:00 and 9:00 and between 16:00 and 18:30 the total journey can stretch to roughly 70 minutes. Schipholride sets your pick-up time on the basis of the live traffic picture, so that rush-hour margin is already built into your departure time.
Pick-up in Heerhugowaard
A driver can collect you anywhere in Heerhugowaard: from Stad van de Zon and Butterhuizen in the south to De Noord and 't Kruis on the northern side, and everything in between such as the Rivierenwijk, Schrijverswijk and Edelstenenwijk. If you live near the centre around Middenwaard or Centrumwaard, give your exact house address and the driver comes right to the door. Pick-up at Heerhugowaard station or Heerhugowaard Zuid station is fine too, handy if you arrive by train from the wider region first. For companies on the Zandhorst or De Vaandel business parks the same applies: enter the address and the driver is waiting at the agreed time.

Pick-up from Schiphol
On the way back to Heerhugowaard you pay the same fixed price as the outbound trip, even when your flight lands during the night, because there is no surcharge for late hours. Your flight is tracked live: if your aircraft touches down later than scheduled, the pick-up time adjusts accordingly, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free waiting time. That leaves plenty of room for the baggage belt, even when the arrivals hall is busy.
Frequently asked questions
For an 08:00 flight, how early does the taxi reach my door in Heerhugowaard?+
Work back from the flight: for a European departure you want to be at Schiphol around 06:00, allowing roughly two hours for check-in and security. With a journey of about 50 minutes outside the rush hour, that means leaving Heerhugowaard around 05:00 to 05:10. There is no night surcharge, so this early ride goes at the same fixed price from €95 as any other.
Is the train from Heerhugowaard to Schiphol actually a good option?+
There is no direct train: from Heerhugowaard station you change at least once, usually in Zaandam, and the trip typically takes well over an hour, not counting the way to the station. A taxi runs door-to-gate in around 50 minutes, takes all your luggage with you, and also runs at times when the train barely operates or does not run at all.
Which roads give the fastest run from Heerhugowaard to Schiphol?+
The usual route follows the N242 past Alkmaar to the Kooimeer interchange, then the A9 southwards through the Wijkertunnel to the Badhoevedorp interchange and onto the airport. That is 53 kilometres and around 50 minutes outside the rush hour; during the peak the same stretch can stretch to roughly 70 minutes, which is why the driver sets the pick-up time on the day.
Can I be collected in De Noord, 't Kruis or Stad van de Zon as well?+
Yes, the whole of Heerhugowaard falls within the pick-up area, from the outer villages of De Noord and 't Kruis to newer districts like Stad van de Zon and De Draai. A driver is ready for you in every neighbourhood, and the fixed price is identical wherever you live, so your fare does not depend on your exact address within town.
Does a family or group from Heerhugowaard with a lot of luggage fit in one vehicle?+
Up to 4 people with normal luggage fit comfortably in the Comfort or Premium segment. Travelling with 5 to 8 people, such as a family or group of friends from Heerhugowaard, you book the Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar) at €125 for the whole vehicle. Luggage and the Schiphol parking costs are already included in that price.
