Your taxi from Leeuwarden to Schiphol Airport
From Leeuwarden it is a long but straightforward run to Schiphol: 151 kilometres door to door, via the A31 and the Afsluitdijk (A7), taking around 120 minutes outside the rush hour. For that journey SchipholRide charges a fixed all-in price from €220 (Comfort), with VAT, luggage and the parking costs at Schiphol already included; there is no night surcharge.
You choose your own segment: Comfort (€220, VW Passat or similar), Premium (€275, Mercedes E-Class or similar), Van for 5-8 people (€285, V-Class or similar) or VIP (€475, S-Class or similar). In the morning or evening rush the same trip can climb to roughly 160 minutes, mostly on the Zaandam-Coentunnel stretch.
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup. If you are being collected at Schiphol, your flight is tracked live and you get 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing.
Your route and departure time
The standard route leaves Leeuwarden on the A31, running past Franeker and Harlingen to the Afsluitdijk, where the A7 carries you 32 kilometres across the dyke between the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer into North Holland.
From there the A7 continues past Hoorn and Purmerend to the Zaandam interchange, and the A8, the Coentunnel (A10) and the A4 bring you to the Schiphol exit. Outside the rush hour this is a quiet drive: the Frisian section and the Afsluitdijk itself rarely jam.
The delay is almost always in the final quarter: between Purmerend, the Coentunnel and the A4 it clogs up on weekdays around 7:00-9:30 and 16:00-18:30, and then the total driving time can stretch to roughly 160 minutes.
When the Afsluitdijk is closed for maintenance, which happens regularly, the southern alternative runs via the A32 and A6 past Heerenveen and Lelystad; the driver picks whichever option is fastest on the day.
Pickup in and around Leeuwarden
You can be collected anywhere in Leeuwarden: from Bilgaard and the Vrijheidswijk in the north to Huizum, Nijlan, Aldlan and Zuiderburen on the south side, and Camminghaburen out east. If you live in the city centre, give a house number or a clear side street when you book: parts of the centre are one-way or low-traffic, and with an exact address the car really does wait at your door.
Pick-up at Leeuwarden station (Stationsplein) or Leeuwarden Camminghaburen station is fine too, which is handy if you first arrive on the regional train from the surrounding villages.
Pickup areas include
- Binnenstad
- Bilgaard
- Camminghaburen
- Huizum
- Nijlân
- Aldlân
- Zuiderburen
- Vrijheidswijk

“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 about this route
From your first fare check to your return ride to Leeuwarden. Choose a topic and find the details you need before travelling.
Fares & booking
Do I get an invoice with VAT for my ride?
Yes. Book in your company's name and you receive an invoice with a VAT specification, useful for your records or expense claim.
Pickup & journey time
How early should I leave Leeuwarden for an early morning flight?
Allow around 120 minutes of driving outside the rush hour, plus a good two hours for check-in and security at Schiphol. For an 08:00 flight that means a pick-up around 03:30 in Leeuwarden. Because there is no night surcharge, you simply pay the fixed price from €220 for such an early departure.
Is the taxi faster than the Intercity from Leeuwarden to Schiphol?
Honest answer: there is a direct Intercity that takes about 2 hours and 20 minutes, so outside the rush hour the car is a little quicker at roughly 120 minutes, and clearly faster door to door. A taxi wins above all with plenty of luggage, flights before 07:00 or after midnight, and when three or more of you are travelling together.
What happens if the Afsluitdijk is closed on my travel day?
The Afsluitdijk is regularly closed at night for maintenance. The driver checks this in advance and then routes via the A32 and A6 past Heerenveen and Lelystad instead. That detour is a touch longer, so for early flights the departure is planned with extra margin.
A change of route never changes your fixed price.
Can I be collected in Zuiderburen, Camminghaburen or at the station?
Yes, the pick-up service covers every district of Leeuwarden, from Bilgaard to Zuiderburen and Camminghaburen, plus Leeuwarden station and Leeuwarden Camminghaburen station. Give your exact address when you book; in the low-traffic centre the driver will, if needed, agree on a sensible meeting point at the edge of the zone.
Is a taxi cheaper than parking at Schiphol?
For a longer trip it often is: you pay one fixed fare instead of parking fees per day, and you don't have to haul your cases from P3 to the terminal. Compare your own route with the price calculator.
Passengers & return journeys
Which car makes sense for a family or group from Leeuwarden?
Up to four people with 3 large suitcases fit comfortably in Comfort (VW Passat or similar, €220). With 5 to 8 travellers you book the Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar) at €285 for the whole vehicle; shared between seven, that is around €41 each, luggage and all costs included.
For business travel there is Premium (€275) or VIP (€475).
Can I book a return trip in one go?
Yes, you arrange your outbound and return ride in one booking with the return option in the booking flow. For the return your driver tracks your flight and 60 minutes of free waiting time apply.
