Your ride from Ridderkerk
Whether you live in Bolnes, Slikkerveer or Rijsoord, the driver simply collects you at your door, in any part of Ridderkerk. A taxi from Ridderkerk to Schiphol Airport is booked through Schipholride for a fixed all-in price from €115 (Comfort), and outside the rush hour the journey takes around 65 minutes. During the rush hour that rises to roughly 95 minutes. Ridderkerk has no railway station of its own, so by public transport you first depend on the bus or the waterbus to Rotterdam before heading on towards the airport. A fixed-price ride is then often the more sensible choice, certainly with luggage, on an early flight or when more than two of you are travelling. You choose from Comfort (€115), Premium (€140, Mercedes E-Class or similar), a Van for 5-8 people (€150, V-Class or similar) or VIP (€230, S-Class or similar). VAT, luggage and the parking costs at Schiphol are all included.
From Ridderkerk you pick up the A16 towards Rotterdam quickly, via the Rotterdamseweg and the short link at the Ridderkerk interchange. The driver crosses the Van Brienenoord bridge and then chooses according to the traffic: via the Terbregseplein and the A20/A13, or via the newer A16 Rotterdam straight onto the A13. Both options feed onto the A4, where you turn off for the airport at the Schiphol exit. The total driving distance is 78 kilometres; outside the busy hours you are standing in front of the departure hall after around 65 minutes. The vulnerable point is the Van Brienenoord bridge combined with the Terbregseplein: roughly between 7:00-9:30 and 16:00-18:30 the journey can stretch to around 95 minutes. If there are roadworks or a bridge opening on the A16, the driver diverts via the A15 and the A4 past the Beneluxtunnel. The fastest line is picked on the day.
Pick-up in Ridderkerk
Schipholride covers all five centres of Ridderkerk: the centre itself, Bolnes, Slikkerveer, Rijsoord and Oostendam, plus the residential areas of Drievliet/'t Zand, Oost and West. Give your full address when you book; in the narrower dyke streets of Rijsoord and Oostendam the driver stops as close to your door as the road allows. Collection at a company on the Donkersloot or Cornelisland business parks is no problem either, which is handy for business travellers heading straight from the office to their flight.

Frequently asked questions
What time will the driver collect me in Ridderkerk for a morning flight?+
Work back from your flight: allow a good two hours for check-in, plus 65 to 95 minutes of driving time. If you fly at 08:00, a pick-up around 04:30 in Ridderkerk is sensible. That early the A16 is still quiet, so you will be closer to the 65 minutes than the 95, leaving you comfortable margin at the gate.
Is a taxi or public transport quicker from Ridderkerk?+
Not directly, because Ridderkerk has no railway station of its own. You first travel by bus or waterbus to Rotterdam and change there onto the intercity towards the airport. With luggage, an early flight or a small group, a fixed-price taxi from €115 is usually the more practical door-to-gate option, and you avoid two changes along the way.
Do you also collect in Bolnes, Rijsoord and Oostendam?+
Yes, every centre in the municipality of Ridderkerk falls within the pick-up area: the centre, Bolnes, Slikkerveer, Rijsoord, Oostendam and the districts of Drievliet/'t Zand, Oost and West. The fixed price is the same across the whole municipality; simply enter your street address when you book, and a screened driver will be waiting at the agreed time.
How much will the rush hour around the Van Brienenoord bridge affect me?+
The Van Brienenoord bridge and the Terbregseplein are the busiest points on this route. Between 7:00-9:30 and 16:00-18:30 the journey can rise to around 95 minutes instead of 65. The driver knows the alternatives, such as the newer A16 Rotterdam or the route via the A15 and the Beneluxtunnel, and plans on the basis of the live traffic situation.
Will my group of six with luggage fit in one vehicle?+
Yes, in that case you choose the Van: a Mercedes V-Class or similar with room for 5 to 8 people including luggage, for a fixed all-in price of €150 from Ridderkerk. Per person that is often cheaper than two separate cars or train tickets via Rotterdam, and you travel together in a single vehicle rather than splitting up.
