Your ride from Kerkrade
Kerkrade occupies the very south-eastern tip of Limburg, hard against German Herzogenrath, which makes the 224-kilometre run to Schiphol one of the longest journeys Schipholride provides. The fixed total comes to €305 in Comfort (VW Passat or similar), €380 in Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar), €395 for the Van seating 5-8 people (V-Class or similar) and €650 in VIP (S-Class or similar).
Travel time outside the rush: around 178 minutes, rising to roughly 232 when the roads seize. At such a distance one settled amount is worth its weight in gold: VAT, luggage and the parking at Schiphol are in, and no night tariff exists.
A driver at the door saves you a rail journey with several changes from this border corner. Up to 24 hours before departure you cancel at no cost.
From Kerkrade the driver first threads via the N300 and past Heerlen to the A76, turning north onto the A2 at the Kerensheide or Het Vonderen interchange. From that point it is chiefly A2: endlessly straight past Eindhoven, 's-Hertogenbosch and Utrecht, until the bend towards Amsterdam follows at Oudenrijn or Holendrecht and the A4 to the terminal is reached via the A9 and Badhoevedorp.
Without hold-ups that takes around 178 minutes. The pain points on the A2 are well known: Eindhoven, Den Bosch and Utrecht can drive the rush-hour journey towards 232 minutes. For early flights the taxi therefore leaves amply before the morning crush, and the driver follows the traffic reports along the way.
Pick-up in Kerkrade
Drivers collect right across Kerkrade: from Kerkrade-West and Chevremont to Bleijerheide, Eygelshoven and Haanrade, and the neighbourhoods flush against the border. One fixed price applies everywhere. Because the town is built against the hills, with steep and narrow streets, it helps to give your complete address when reserving; the driver then chooses a suitable boarding point.
From most spots the through road towards Heerlen and the A76 is quickly reached.

Taxi from Schiphol Airport to Kerkrade

Your flight is followed, so the pick-up time moves with delays; after landing you have an hour of free waiting time.

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 is the tariff Kerkrade to Schiphol?+
In Comfort you pay €305 as a fixed total, with VAT, luggage and the parking at Schiphol already inside. Premium comes to €380, the eight-seat Van to €395 and VIP to €650. Even across 224 kilometres that amount is settled in advance; queues on the A2 or a night ride take nothing away.
How long is the journey from Kerkrade to Schiphol?+
Outside the rush you cover the 224 kilometres in about 178 minutes, just under three hours. Caught in the peak, queues on the A2 near Eindhoven, Den Bosch and Utrecht can stretch it to roughly 232 minutes. For early flights the driver deliberately departs before the morning crush so you check in on time.
Does the price also apply to Eygelshoven or Chevremont?+
It does. Eygelshoven, Chevremont, Bleijerheide and Haanrade belong to the municipality of Kerkrade and pay the same €305 in Comfort as the centre. You are collected at home there; state your address at booking and the pick-up time is aligned with your departure.
Doesn't such a long ride from Kerkrade turn out expensive?+
For 224 kilometres, €305 in Comfort is an all-in amount: no meter climbing, no separate parking or night charges. Share the ride with four or more people and the per-person price sinks towards that of the train plus its connections. And for the very earliest flights it spares a journey with several changes.
Can someone be picked up along the way?+
An interim stop is fine, for instance to collect a fellow traveller in Heerlen or somewhere along the A2. Pass the extra address on when booking so route and timing are adjusted to it. A small detour within the region usually leaves the fixed price alone; larger ones are agreed beforehand.
How far in advance do I need to book my Schiphol taxi?+
You can book online up to 1 hour before pickup, day and night; only between 02:00 and 09:00 you can't book a ride departing that same morning. If online booking is no longer available, just call 085 060 2543 and we'll see what's possible. Booking earlier is always wise, especially in holiday periods.
Can my dog or pet come along?+
By arrangement: mention it when booking and we'll take it into account.
Can I bring a wheelchair or walker?+
Yes, your wheelchair or walker travels free of charge. If it's too big for the boot, mention it when booking so a suitable vehicle can be scheduled. On request we can also arrange a wheelchair-accessible taxi.
