From Schiphol back to Lelystad
Enter your flight number when booking.
Taxi from Schiphol to LelystadThe driver tracks your flight and contacts you once you have landed. You receive the pickup point by email in advance. Your arrival is arranged, even after a late landing.
Book 24/7 throughout the Randstad and beyond, to Schiphol and back. On the return trip you'll be back in Lelystad from Schiphol in around 65 minutes outside peak hours. One local point to note: on busy Saturday shopping days and during outlet promotions, exit 11 (Lelystad-Noord) around Batavia Stad Fashion Outlet gets noticeably busier; the driver then takes a different exit to your neighbourhood. Late landings are no problem: there's no night surcharge, even deep in the night.

Your taxi from Lelystad to Schiphol Airport
The trip from Lelystad to Schiphol is almost entirely motorway driving: along the A6 past Almere, onto the A1 at the Muiderberg interchange and then via the A9 to the airport; outside peak hours you'll be there in around 65 minutes.
Through SchipholRide you book this 71-kilometre ride for a fixed all-in price from €125 (Comfort), including VAT, luggage and the parking fees at Schiphol. During the morning rush the journey can stretch to around 90 minutes, especially between Almere and the Muiderberg interchange; that's factored in when your pickup time is planned.
The driver collects you in any neighbourhood, from the Zuiderzeewijk to Lelystad-Haven, and your flight is tracked live so the pickup time for the return leg shifts along with any delay. The range also covers Premium (€155), a Van for 5–8 people (€165) and VIP (€270, S-Class).
Your route and departure time
The route is straightforward: from the Lelystad exits you join the A6 towards Almere. At the Muiderberg interchange you switch to the A1 towards Amsterdam, and at the Diemen interchange you follow the A9, which carries you through the Gaasperdammertunnel and past Amstelveen to the Badhoevedorp interchange and the Schiphol exit.
Outside peak hours this 71-kilometre stretch takes about 65 minutes. The vulnerable section sits between Almere and Muiderberg: on weekdays between roughly 06:30 and 09:00 the A6 there fills up with commuter traffic heading to Amsterdam, and the A9 near Amstelveen can come to a standstill too.
In that window the ride can stretch to around 90 minutes. The evening rush mainly affects the opposite direction; heading to Schiphol in the afternoon you'll usually keep moving. In the event of an incident on the A6, drivers sometimes divert via the A27 and the A1.
Pickup in and around Lelystad
You're picked up anywhere in Lelystad: the Stadshart, the Atolwijk and Zuiderzeewijk in the north-east, Boswijk and Waterwijk on the east side, and Lelystad-Haven and the Warande in the south-west; those last two actually sit slightly better placed relative to the A6.
You can just as easily enter Lelystad Centrum station or a business address at Larserpoort, Noordersluis or Oostervaart as your pickup point. If you live in an apartment block in the Stadshart, add your house number and any specific entrance to the booking, so the driver pulls up on the right side.
Pickup areas include
- Stadshart
- Atolwijk
- Zuiderzeewijk
- Boswijk
- Waterwijk
- Kustwijk
- Lelystad-Haven
- Warande
Stations: Lelystad Centrum
Business pickups also available at: Larserpoort · Oostervaart · Noordersluis · Flevokust Haven. Enter your business address for a direct ride from the office to departures, with an invoice on request.

“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 Lelystad. Choose a topic and find the details you need before travelling.
Fares & booking
What if I miss my flight or my flight gets cancelled?
Let us know at least 4 hours before your scheduled pickup on 085 060 2543. We then move your ride to a new time free of charge, or you cancel with a 50% refund. If you tell us later than 4 hours ahead, or we can't reach you, the ride counts as a no-show without a refund.
Pickup & journey time
How early should I leave Lelystad for a morning flight?
Allow 65 minutes of driving time plus a good 2 hours for check-in and security: so leave roughly 3 to 3.5 hours before your departure time. An 08:00 flight works out at a pickup time of around 04:30–04:45 in practice.
That early the A6 is still empty, and because there's no night surcharge, you simply pay the normal fixed price.
Isn't the direct train from Lelystad Centrum the more logical choice?
Honest answer: the intercity runs straight from Lelystad Centrum to Schiphol in about 45 minutes and is cheaper for a single traveller. A taxi wins on door-to-door convenience: no hauling suitcases through the station, no waiting for the first train before an early flight, and with three or four passengers together the €125 per ride comes close to the combined train fare.
Are Lelystad-Haven, the Warande and the outer neighbourhoods served too?
Yes, every neighbourhood in Lelystad falls within the pickup area: from the Kustwijk and Atolwijk to Boswijk, Waterwijk, Lelystad-Haven and the Warande. The south-western districts sit slightly closer to the A6, though that adds up to no more than a few minutes on the total journey.
The fixed price is the same for every address in Lelystad.
How much margin is sensible if I have to head to Schiphol during the morning rush?
On weekdays between roughly 06:30 and 09:00 the ride can stretch to around 90 minutes, mainly because of queues on the A6 between Almere and the Muiderberg interchange and on the A9 near Amstelveen. So in that window allow around half an hour extra on top of the normal 65 minutes; that rush-hour margin is included when your pickup time is scheduled.
We're travelling with seven or eight people from Lelystad. How do we arrange that?
Then book the Van: a Mercedes V-Class or similar for 5 to 8 people, at a fixed all-in price of €165 including luggage. Per person that's often cheaper than separate train tickets, and you all set off together from one address, handy for families from the Waterwijk or colleagues from Larserpoort.
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.
Do you also drive on public holidays and New Year's Eve?
Yes: 24/7, all year round, including New Year's Eve, with no surcharge.
