Your ride from Hilversum
Standing on the kerb with your suitcases at 05:00 in Kerkelanden or the Hilversumse Meent, before the first train has even started running — for many Hilversum residents that is exactly why they book a Schiphol taxi. A taxi from Hilversum to Schiphol via Schipholride starts at a fixed €70 (Comfort), and the 41-kilometre journey takes around 40 minutes outside the rush hour. During the morning or evening peak that can rise to roughly 60 minutes. The fare is an all-in total: VAT, luggage and the Schiphol parking charges are included, and there is no night surcharge — handy with those early departure times. Alongside Comfort (VW Passat or similar), you can book Premium (€85, Mercedes E-Class or similar), a Van for 5-8 people (€95, V-Class or similar) or VIP (€140, S-Class or similar). Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.
From Hilversum there are two logical routes. The fastest is usually via the A27 towards Almere, joining the A1 at the Eemnes interchange towards Amsterdam, and at Diemen taking the A9 past Amstelveen and Badhoevedorp to the terminal. Outside the rush hour that takes around 40 minutes. The familiar bottlenecks sit on the A1 between Muiderberg and Diemen and on the A9 near Amstelveen; during the morning peak (roughly 07:00-09:30 towards Amsterdam) and the evening peak the travel time can rise to around 60 minutes. The alternative is the N201 via Vreeland and Vinkeveen, which runs south of the motorway congestion and comes out near Aalsmeer towards Schiphol-Rijk — when there are tailbacks on the A1/A9, the driver takes that option. Schipholride plans with a peak-hour margin as standard, so a busy A9 does not immediately eat into your check-in time.
Pick-up in Hilversum
Pick-ups happen right across Hilversum: from the Centrum and the villa districts around Trompenberg to Kerkelanden, Hilversum-Oost, Hilversum-Zuid and the Hilversumse Meent on the north side. Business pick-up addresses on the Media Park and Arenapark are an everyday matter too — give the building or reception when you book, and the car will wait at the right entrance. For narrow streets in the centre or around Hilversum station, the driver confirms the exact spot by a quick phone call.

Pick-up from Schiphol
If you land at Schiphol and live in Hilversum, the taxi back is especially worthwhile late in the evening: you get 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing and your flight is tracked live, so if there is a delay the driver simply adjusts. For rides to the Meent or Oost the driver returns via the A9 and A1; outside the rush hour you are home in around 40 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
What time do I need to be picked up in Hilversum for an 08:00 flight?+
Work it backwards: for an 08:00 flight you want to be at Schiphol around 06:00 (a good 2 hours of check-in time). With around 40 minutes of driving time and some margin, that means a pick-up around 05:00-05:10 in Hilversum. Because there is no night surcharge, you simply pay the fixed fare for such an early ride.
Which route does the driver take from Hilversum to Schiphol?+
As standard via the A27, A1 and A9 past Amstelveen and Badhoevedorp — around 40 minutes outside the rush hour. If it is gridlocked on the A1 near Diemen or the A9 near Amstelveen, the N201 via Vreeland and Vinkeveen is the alternative. The driver picks the fastest option on the day itself.
Isn't there a direct train from Hilversum to Schiphol?+
True: the intercity runs directly in around 30 minutes and is cheaper. The taxi wins on door-to-door: no lugging suitcases to the station, no changing trains with a family, and available at 04:30 as well, before any train runs. With 3-4 people or a Van, the price per person also moves much closer together.
Do you also pick up in the Hilversumse Meent or at the Media Park?+
Yes, the fixed fare applies across the whole of Hilversum: from the Meent on the north side to Kerkelanden and Hilversum-Zuid. Business rides from the Media Park or Arenapark are common; mention the building number or reception when you book, and the driver knows exactly where to pull up.
What does a minibus for 6 people from Hilversum to Schiphol cost?+
A Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar) for 5 to 8 people costs €95 in total — not a price per person. Luggage, VAT and the parking charges at Schiphol are included in that amount. With six travellers that works out at a little over €15 per person, including room for all the suitcases.
