Fixed fare or taximeter
Without a reservation, a street taxi may charge up to about €574 for this ride (±159 km, ±126 min) under the Dutch legal maximum meter rates for 2026. With us the price is fixed at €230 (Comfort) before you book, 59% below that legal maximum.*
* Comparison with the Dutch legal maximum taxi tariffs 2026 (passenger car: €4.31 start + €3.17/km + €0.52/min, wetten.overheid.nl), calculated over the usual off-peak travel time. Street taxis may charge less than the maximum; actual savings vary per ride. Full calculation per city.
From Schiphol to Drachten
Drachten has no railway station of its own, so a private ride from Schiphol saves you a string of changes on public transport. Once you have landed, the driver takes you straight to this Frisian town, known for the artworks dotted around its streets: the centre, a residential neighbourhood or an office on a business park along the A7.
The fare is fixed the moment you book.
Your route to Drachten
From the airport to your door
From the airport the route first crosses the Flevopolder on the A6, then follows the A7 into Friesland towards Drachten, a journey of just under two hours. Along the way you pass Joure and Heerenveen. The driver drops you exactly where you need to be: an address in the centre, the De Drait district or a village such as Ureterp.
Meeting your driver
Your pickup details in one place
Once you are on the ground, your driver will contact you; the exact pickup point is sent to you by email in advance. Flight running late? The pickup time simply moves with it. On top of that, you have 60 minutes free after landing, comfortably enough to collect your luggage and get through customs.

“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”
