Fixed fare or taximeter
Without a reservation, a street taxi may charge up to about €113 for this ride (±29 km, ±32 min) under the Dutch legal maximum meter rates for 2026. With us the price is fixed at €75 (Comfort) before you book, 33% 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 Leiden
Landed at Schiphol and on your way to Leiden? A Schiphol taxi to Leiden takes you without changes from the agreed pickup point to the front door: the old town on the canals, the Bio Science Park, the LUMC, the university or a hotel near Leiden Centraal.
You book in advance at fixed fares, including luggage and parking fees. So after a long flight you no longer haul suitcases through the train, and you know the total before you get in.
Your route to Leiden
From the airport to your door
From Schiphol the driver takes the A4 towards The Hague and, via the Burgerveen junction, the A44; at the Plesmanlaan you enter Leiden. Outside rush hour you are at the door within 25 to 30 minutes, from the Rapenburg to the Merenwijk or Stevenshof.
Addresses around Leiden, such as Oegstgeest, Leiderdorp and Voorschoten, are also within reach at a fixed total price known in advance.
Meeting your driver
Your pickup details in one place
You receive the pickup point by email in advance, and after landing your driver will contact you. The driver follows your flight live: if you land later, the pickup moment moves automatically and the first 60 minutes of waiting are free.
That works the same deep in the night; there is no night surcharge.

“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”

About landing, your pickup point and your ride to Leiden.
Landing & pickup
How much is a Schiphol taxi to Leiden?

How do I find my driver at Schiphol?
Your confirmation gives the agreed pickup point. An inside welcome with a name sign is available with Meet & Greet (+ €30 with Premium or Van, included with VIP pickups from Schiphol). The exact meeting point comes by email in advance and after landing your driver will contact you, so there is no searching, even at a busy moment.
Is transport to the Bio Science Park or the LUMC possible?
Yes, every ride goes door to door to any address in Leiden and the surrounding area: the Bio Science Park, the LUMC, the university or your hotel in the old town. Enter the address when booking and the driver drops you exactly there.
What if my flight lands earlier or later?
The driver follows your actual landing time. If you are delayed, the pickup time moves automatically, with an hour of free waiting time after landing. If you land early, the pickup can often be brought forward; you do not have to arrange anything.
Can I book a taxi from Schiphol to Leiden for a guest or colleague?
Certainly. Choose Premium or VIP for a representative ride, or the Van for a group of up to 8. If you want your guest to be met inside the arrivals hall with a name board, add the Meet & Greet service (+ €30; included with VIP from Schiphol).
Business invoicing is available on request; mention it when booking.
