About this route
From Schiphol to Leiden
Landed at Schiphol and on your way to Leiden? A Schiphol taxi to Leiden takes you without changes from the arrivals hall 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.
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.
Your driver is ready when you arrive
After landing you receive the name, licence plate and phone number of your driver, plus the agreed pickup point. 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.

Vriendelijke gast, rijdt fantastisch.
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
