Your ride from Meppel
Meppel sits closer to the Randstad than any other Drenthe town, which keeps both the journey and the fare pleasingly modest: 142 kilometres to Schiphol, around 117 minutes off-peak and up to roughly 153 in the rush hour, for a fixed €215 in Comfort (VW Passat or similar).
Premium costs €270 (Mercedes E-Class or similar), the Van for 5-8 people €280 (V-Class or similar) and VIP €465 (S-Class or similar). Every fare includes VAT, luggage and the parking charges at Schiphol, and there is no night surcharge.
Schipholride arranges a screened driver to collect you at home. For the early flights common in this region, that beats a train ride with a change. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the pick-up time.
From Meppel the route joins the A28 straight away, heading south-west past Zwolle. Beyond Zwolle the driver keeps to the A28 along Nunspeet, Harderwijk and Amersfoort, swings towards Amsterdam at the Hoevelaken interchange or via the A1, and completes the run to the terminal on the A4 via the A10 ring or the Diemen interchange.
Off-peak, this is around 117 minutes of driving. The familiar obstruction lies on the A28 around Amersfoort and the Hoevelaken interchange; in the morning and evening peaks the journey can lengthen to around 153 minutes.
For early or tight flights the collection is planned before the rush, and the driver keeps watching the live situation on the A28.
Pick-up in Meppel
You can be collected anywhere in Meppel: the districts of Oosterboer, Koedijkslanden and Berggierslanden, Ezinge, and the area around the historic town centre. The villages within the municipality, such as Nijeveen and Rogat, share the same fixed price.
The compact centre around the Hoofdstraat is partly closed to cars; if you live there, name a boarding point at booking where the driver can pull up. Meppel lies hard against the A28, so from most streets the motorway is reached in no time.

Taxi from Schiphol Airport to Meppel
Come in late in the evening or at night and the trains towards Meppel connect poorly. You are simply driven home for the fixed €215, with no addition for the late hour. Because the landing is followed, the driver adjusts his departure automatically if you are delayed, and a free hour is available for the baggage after arrival.

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
How much does Meppel to Schiphol cost me?+
Comfort stands at €215, with VAT, luggage and the airport parking inside the price. For more space it is €270 in Premium, €280 in the Van for five to eight people, and €465 in VIP. The amount is agreed beforehand, so rush-hour pressure on the A28 changes nothing.
Is the train from Meppel just as fast?+
Rail from Meppel station runs via a change at Zwolle and, including waiting, soon consumes two hours. The taxi does it in around 117 minutes, direct and without shifting cases between platforms. With four or more of you, the Van per person comes close to a train ticket plus the transport to the station.
Will I also be collected in Nijeveen or Rogat?+
Yes, Nijeveen, Rogat and the other villages lie in the municipality of Meppel and pay the same €215 in Comfort. The car pulls up at the door there as it does in town. Enter your address in full when reserving and the departure is fitted to your flight time.
What time am I collected for a 07:30 flight from Meppel?+
To be at the airport around 05:30, with a driving time of about 117 minutes, the driver collects you at around a quarter past three. That places you comfortably ahead of the morning traffic on the A28, and at that hour the ordinary fare still applies: no night surcharge.
Can I make an interim stop on the way from Meppel?+
Yes, an extra stop is possible, for instance to pick up a fellow traveller in Zwolle. Pass the address along at booking so the driver accounts for the route and timing. A brief stop within the region generally leaves the fixed price as it is; larger detours are discussed beforehand.
Where does the taxi drop me off at Schiphol?+
Your driver drops you off at the departure hall, as close to your check-in as possible. Schiphol's parking and pick-up fees are already included in your fixed price.
How early should I be at Schiphol before my flight?+
Schiphol recommends 2 hours for a European flight and 3 hours for an intercontinental one. Your driver plans the pickup time around that, with a margin for rush hour.
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.
