Taxi from Schiphol to Zaandam

Book 24/7 throughout the Randstad and beyond, to Schiphol and back. If you land at Schiphol late in the evening, you pay the same fixed rate towards Zaandam: there is no night surcharge. Good to know: the return ride goes through the same Coentunnel, but in the evening it usually flows smoothly towards Zaandam, so from the agreed pickup point you are home in about half an hour.

Your taxi from Zaandam to Schiphol Airport

A fixed price of €60: that is what a Comfort taxi (VW Passat or similar) from Zaandam to Schiphol costs via SchipholRide, and outside rush hour you cover the 26 kilometres in around 30 minutes. During rush hour that can rise to around 45 minutes, so allow for it if your schedule is tight.

Everything is included in the rate: VAT, luggage and parking at Schiphol. Nothing is added afterwards and there is no night surcharge. If you want more space or comfort, choose Premium in a Mercedes E-Class or similar for €75, a Van for 5 to 8 people for €80, or VIP in an S-Class or similar for €140.

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup, and for a pickup from Schiphol your flight is tracked live.

Your route and departure time

From Zaandam you take the access roads to the A8 at the Zaandam interchange and head south towards the Coenplein. There you enter the Coentunnel and follow the A10-West past Sloterdijk to the De Nieuwe Meer interchange, where you join the A4 towards The Hague; the Schiphol exit brings you straight to the departure hall.

From Zaandam-Zuid and the Achtersluispolder, the driver often takes the Thorbeckeweg (N516) to reach the same Coentunnel corridor. The bottleneck on this route is the Coentunnel: during the morning rush hour (roughly 7:00-9:00) traffic towards Amsterdam regularly grinds to a halt, and the A10-West and De Nieuwe Meer fill up as well.

Outside rush hour the ride is short at around 30 minutes; during rush hour it can rise to around 45 minutes. Drivers keep an eye on live traffic information and set off earlier when it is busy.

Pickup in and around Zaandam

You are picked up anywhere in Zaandam: from Westerwatering and Oud West on the western side to Poelenburg, Peldersveld-Hoornseveld, the Rosmolenwijk and 't Kalf on the eastern side of the Zaan. If you live or are staying around Zaandam station, bear in mind that the Inverdan centre around the Gedempte Gracht is largely low-traffic; when booking, give an address at the edge of the pedestrian zone, and the driver will be there at the agreed time.

From business parks such as Westerspoor or the Achtersluispolder the same fixed price simply applies too.

Pickup areas include

  • Zaandam-Centrum (Inverdan)
  • Westerwatering
  • Rosmolenwijk
  • Poelenburg
  • Peldersveld-Hoornseveld
  • Kogerveldwijk
  • 't Kalf
  • Zaandam-Zuid

Stations: Zaandam, Zaandam Kogerveld

Business pickups also available at: Achtersluispolder · Westerspoor · Zuiderhout · Hembrugterrein. Enter your business address for a direct ride from the office to departures, with an invoice on request.

Travelling to or from an event? Around Hembrugterrein (festivals) you can book a door-to-door ride too, useful after the last train or bus has left.

“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

From your first fare check to your return ride to Zaandam. Choose a topic and find the details you need before travelling.

Fares & booking

What if I miss my flight or my flight gets cancelled?

Let us know at least 4 hours before your scheduled pickup on 085 060 2543. We then move your ride to a new time free of charge, or you cancel with a 50% refund. If you tell us later than 4 hours ahead, or we can't reach you, the ride counts as a no-show without a refund.

Pickup & journey time

What time do I need to be picked up in Zaandam for an 08:00 morning flight?

Work backwards: for a flight at 08:00 you want to be at Schiphol around 06:00 to allow a good 2 hours to check in. The ride takes around 30 minutes outside rush hour, so a pickup time around 05:15 gives a comfortable margin.

Because you travel before the morning rush hour, the Coentunnel is usually still quiet.

Which route does the taxi take from Zaandam to Schiphol?

The standard route is the A8 via the Coenplein, through the Coentunnel, along the A10-West to the De Nieuwe Meer interchange and then the A4 to the Schiphol exit. That is 26 kilometres in total. If there is congestion in the Coentunnel, the driver checks live traffic information to see whether setting off earlier or taking an adjusted approach route is smarter.

Do you also pick up in districts such as Poelenburg, 't Kalf or Westerwatering?

Yes, the fixed price applies to any address in Zaandam, from 't Kalf in the north to the Achtersluispolder in the south, and on both sides of the Zaan. You simply enter your street and house number when booking; a driver will be at the door at the agreed time.

How does the taxi compare with the train from Zaandam?

True: direct trains run from Zaandam station to Schiphol, often in around 15 to 25 minutes. For a solo traveller with hand luggage that is fine. A taxi wins on door-to-door convenience: with suitcases, children, an early departure or a group, you get in at home and do not have to head to the station first.

Can I bring a wheelchair or walker?

Yes, your wheelchair or walker travels free of charge. If it's too big for the boot, mention it when booking so a suitable vehicle can be scheduled. On request we can also arrange a wheelchair-accessible taxi.

Do you also drive on public holidays and New Year's Eve?

Yes: 24/7, all year round, including New Year's Eve, with no surcharge.

Passengers & return journeys

What does a minibus for a group of 6 people from Zaandam to Schiphol cost?

A Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar) for 5 to 8 people costs €80 in total, including VAT, luggage and parking at Schiphol. Per person you are often cheaper off than with six separate train tickets plus connecting transport, especially from districts further from Zaandam station.
