Back on your way in three steps

Step 1

Check whether the Nachtnet is still running

On the route between Rotterdam, The Hague HS, Leiden, Schiphol, Amsterdam and Utrecht, a night train runs every hour, every night. If you live along that line, you can often still catch one. Check the NS Journey Planner to see when the next one leaves.

Step 2

Not on that route?

Away from the Nachtnet line, no trains run between about 01:00 and 05:00. Waiting for the first morning train can take hours. Night buses only run around Amsterdam and are slow. That often leaves a taxi as the only way to get home or to your destination.

Step 3

Book a taxi: it runs 24/7

A taxi picks you up at Schiphol or takes you there, at any time of night. You pay a fixed price in advance, with no night surcharge. If you are landing after a disruption, we track your flight, so your ride is ready when you walk out.
