From Schiphol to Leeuwarden

Touched down at Schiphol with Leeuwarden still to go? With SchipholRide you can book a Schiphol taxi to Leeuwarden that takes you in one direct ride from the agreed pickup point to the Frisian capital: the centre around the Oldehove tower, an address near Leeuwarden station or one of the villages nearby.

The total fare is fixed before you book, so after a long journey all that is left is to get in and relax.

Your route to Leeuwarden

From the airport to your door

From Schiphol you head along the A9 towards the Afsluitdijk, crossing the dyke between the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer, and then follow the A7 right through Friesland, past Bolsward and Sneek, to Leeuwarden.

Allow a little over two hours. The driver drops you exactly where you need to be: the old town around the Oldehove, a district such as Camminghaburen or Bilgaard, or an address in the surrounding villages.

Meeting your driver

Your pickup details in one place

As soon as your plane lands, your driver will contact you. Your flight is followed, so if the landing time changes, the pickup time is adjusted accordingly. You have 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing, so there is no need to rush through baggage reclaim and customs.

From the pickup point we send you by email in advance, you set off north straight away.

“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 about this route

About landing, your pickup point and your ride to Leeuwarden.

Fares & booking

What does a taxi from Schiphol to Leeuwarden cost?

Comfort is priced from €220, Premium from €275, the Van (5 to 8 passengers) from €285 and VIP from €475. Each is a fixed total all the way to your address in Friesland, luggage and waiting time included.

Landing & pickup

How long does the drive from Schiphol to Leeuwarden take?

Outside the rush hour, plan on roughly two hours via the Afsluitdijk. During the morning and evening peaks around Amsterdam it can take a little longer, but your fixed price stays the same. In strong winds or during maintenance the Afsluitdijk may be partly closed; the driver checks this before setting off.

Will the driver take me to villages around Leeuwarden?

Yes. The ride goes door to door, so Stiens, Grou or Dokkum are within reach without any change of transport. Simply give the exact drop-off address when you book.

What if my flight into Schiphol is delayed?

Your flight is monitored live, so the pickup time shifts by itself. You then have 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing, plenty for the long walk through the arrivals hall.

Can we stop for a break on such a long ride?

A short comfort stop on the way, for example at a service area along the A7, is possible by arrangement. Mention it when you book and the driver will take it into account.
