Your ride from Rijswijk
Rijswijk sits unusually well for Schiphol, with both the A4 and the A13 running past the town. For the trip Schipholride arranges a screened driver at a fixed all-in price from €95, with VAT, luggage and the parking costs at Schiphol already included; there is no night surcharge. Outside the rush hour you reach the departure hall in around 40 minutes. The train is less straightforward: from Rijswijk station you have to change at least once, usually at Den Haag HS, and even the quickest connection takes some 36 minutes before you have walked to the platform with your cases. For a short city break airport parking can work out cheaper, but over a fortnight away the car-park bill often overtakes the fare. You choose your segment: Comfort (€95, VW Passat or similar), Premium (€115, Mercedes E-Class or similar), Van for 5-8 people (€125, V-Class or similar) or VIP (€185, S-Class or similar). Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.
Rijswijk's position is genuinely handy: the A4 and the A13 both skirt the town, and the driver almost always takes the A4. From the Ypenburg interchange you head straight north past Leidschendam, Leiden and Hoofddorp towards the airport, where the motorway dips under the runways and taxiways at the Schiphol exit to reach the terminal. The 47 kilometres take roughly 40 minutes outside the rush hour. During the morning rush (broadly 7:00-9:30) and the evening rush (16:00-19:00), the A4 between Den Haag and Leiden is a well-known bottleneck, and the journey can stretch to around 60 minutes. If things snarl up near Ypenburg or the Prins Clausplein, the driver can drop down to the A13 and the N-roads around Delft, though in practice the A4 stays the standard line. Schipholride sets your pick-up time against the traffic expected that day rather than the ideal run, so you still reach the terminal with a sensible buffer.
Pick-up in Rijswijk
You can be collected anywhere in Rijswijk: from the narrow lanes around Oud-Rijswijk and Leeuwendaal to the flats of Steenvoorde and the new-build streets of RijswijkBuiten. Parking right outside the door in Oud-Rijswijk can be tight, so feel free to give a sensible boarding point when you book, perhaps a side street or the corner of your road. If you work in the Plaspoelpolder, the ride can start there too, whether that is the European Patent Office, Shell or one of the surrounding offices; pick-ups from Broekpolder and Hoornwijck are equally fine. Just add the building or the company name so the driver waits in the right spot.

Pick-up from Schiphol
On the way back from Schiphol you travel the same A4 southwards; if you land between 16:00 and 19:00, allow for the evening rush between Leiden and Den Haag. Your flight is tracked live, so a delay simply shifts the pick-up to match the new landing time, and the 60 minutes of free waiting after touchdown give you room for the baggage belt and customs. Whatever the hour you arrive, the fixed price stays the same, because there is no night surcharge.
Frequently asked questions
How early should I set off from Rijswijk for an early-morning flight?+
Work back from your departure: allow a good two hours for check-in and security plus around 40 minutes on the road. For a 07:00 flight that means a pick-up around 04:15 to 04:30. There is barely any traffic at that hour, and because Schipholride charges no night surcharge you still pay the fixed price from €95.
Taxi or train from Rijswijk: how do I decide?+
Door to door, the taxi usually wins. From Rijswijk station you have to change, normally at Den Haag HS, and you lose at least 36 minutes plus the trip to the station itself. A screened driver takes you from your own address to the departure hall in roughly 40 minutes outside the rush hour, with no platform changes or luggage to lug.
How does the A4 rush hour affect my ride from Rijswijk?+
The A4 between Den Haag and Leiden is a reliable bottleneck during the morning and evening peaks, when the journey can climb to around 60 minutes rather than 40. Schipholride builds that into your pick-up time, so even in the thick of the rush you reach Schiphol with a comfortable margin in hand.
Can I be collected from an office in the Plaspoelpolder or Broekpolder?+
Yes. Business pick-ups from the Plaspoelpolder, including the European Patent Office, Shell and the offices nearby, and from Broekpolder or Hoornwijck, are arranged daily. Give the building or company name when you book so the driver waits in the right place. Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar, €115) is a popular choice for these corporate runs.
How many of us can travel from Rijswijk to Schiphol in one vehicle?+
Up to four people fit comfortably in a Comfort (VW Passat or similar, €95) or Premium. For 5 to 8 travellers you book the Van (V-Class or similar) at €125 for the whole vehicle, often cheaper than two separate taxis or eight train tickets with a change, and all the luggage comes along too.
