Taxi Schiphol-Rijk to Schiphol

Short and orderly describes the run from Schiphol-Rijk to the terminal. The district sits on the airport's southern side, near where the N201 meets the roads around Schiphol-Zuidoost. The driver uses the local access roads and the feeder routes to the departure hall, typically along the Handelskade and the Beechavenue or via the connection to the A4.

Outside the peaks, the 8 kilometres are covered in some 14 minutes. Over such a small distance genuine delay is rare; only the airport's approach roads get busy in the morning and evening rush, which can lengthen the ride to a good quarter of an hour or twenty minutes.

The driver knows the airport area thoroughly and delivers you to the correct departure hall without detours.

From Schiphol-Rijk, the airport's own check-in advice does most of the work in setting your pick-up time, because the drive itself is short. For a European flight at 07:00 you want to be in the departures hall at 05:00.

With 14 minutes on the road outside the rush hour, the car collects you at your hotel or office at 04:30. A long-haul flight at 19:00 calls for 3 hours, so 16:00 at Schiphol. That puts you in the afternoon rush, when the 8 kilometres take about 21 minutes, which makes 15:20 the pick-up. Both examples include 15 minutes of margin.

The congestion here is not on your own street. It is the approach roads to the terminal that fill up in the morning and evening peaks, even for a ride of a few kilometres. Leaving an office on the Beechavenue or the Handelskade around five in the afternoon, plan with the rush-hour time rather than the quiet 14 minutes.

A hotel guest setting off at half past four in the morning usually has empty roads. The hour never moves the fare: there is no night, weekend or rush-hour surcharge, so Comfort stays at €42 at 04:30 too.

Collections take place at the office and hotel locations of Schiphol-Rijk: along the Beechavenue, the Handelskade and the surrounding streets where most companies and hotels are established. State the full address, the building or the hotel name at booking and the driver draws up at the right entrance or lobby.

This is a business area through and through, so most rides start at an office or hotel rather than a home address. Schiphol-Rijk has no railway station of its own (the airport station is close by), yet for the final kilometres with luggage, a taxi is usually the handiest choice.
