Taxi from Schiphol to Zoetermeer

The driver tracks your flight and contacts you once you have landed. You receive the pickup point by email in advance. Your arrival is arranged, even after a late landing.

Book 24/7 throughout the Randstad and beyond, to Schiphol and back. On the return trip the same fixed price applies and your flight is tracked live: if you land later than scheduled, the driver simply shifts with it, and you get 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing. There is no night surcharge, so a late arrival costs the same as a midday one. If you land in the evening, it is worth checking whether an event is on around the SilverDome or the Buytenpark. During big gatherings at the Van Tuyllpark the approach towards Oosterheem and Seghwaert can be busier than usual.

Your taxi from Zoetermeer to Schiphol Airport

Zoetermeer sits 39 kilometres from Schiphol, and the distance shapes how the pick-up works: the driver tends to be waiting in your street well before the agreed time, whether you live in Rokkeveen or out in Oosterheem.

For a ride from Zoetermeer to Schiphol, SchipholRide sets a fixed all-in price from €81 (Comfort), and outside the rush hour the journey takes around 40 minutes. During the morning or evening peak that can stretch to roughly 55 minutes, especially around the Prins Clausplein.

The fare includes VAT, luggage and the parking costs at Schiphol, and there is no night surcharge, so a 04:30 pick-up costs exactly the same as one at 14:30. Alongside Comfort you can book Premium (€103, Mercedes E-Class or similar), a Van for 5-8 people (€109, V-Class or similar) or VIP (€184, S-Class or similar).

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.

Your route and departure time

From Zoetermeer the standard route runs along the A12 towards The Hague, then joins the A4 at the Prins Clausplein interchange heading for Amsterdam. You follow that past Zoeterwoude and Leiden as far as the Schiphol exit, a straightforward run that takes around 40 minutes outside the rush hour.

There are two familiar bottlenecks: the Prins Clausplein itself, and the A4 between Zoeterwoude-Dorp and Hoofddorp, both of which fill up during the morning peak (roughly 06:30-09:30) and the evening peak (16:00-19:00).

Within those windows, allow for a journey that can rise to around 55 minutes; the driver factors that in when planning the pick-up. If you live on the eastern side, near Oosterheem or the Dwarstocht business park, you reach the A12 via the eastern slip road; from Meerzicht and Driemanspolder you are on it just as quickly from the west.

Leave before 06:00 and the A4 is almost always clear, so the 40-minute run is comfortable.

Pickup in and around Zoetermeer

SchipholRide arranges pick-ups in every part of Zoetermeer: from Rokkeveen and Meerzicht in the south and west to Seghwaert, Noordhove and Oosterheem in the north and east. Collection at the railway stations Zoetermeer and Zoetermeer Oost, or at Lansingerland-Zoetermeer on the city's edge, is no trouble either, handy when you are picking up colleagues or family off the train and carrying on together.

For business trips from Lansinghage or Zoeterhage the same fixed fare applies as for home addresses. If you live in one of the flats in Palenstein or Meerzicht, just pass on your entrance number when you book, so the driver waits at the right door.

Pickup areas include

  • Rokkeveen
  • Oosterheem
  • Seghwaert
  • Noordhove
  • Meerzicht
  • Buytenwegh
  • De Leyens
  • Palenstein

“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 Zoetermeer. Choose a topic and find the details you need before travelling.

Fares & booking

Can I pay with iDEAL or credit card?

Yes, you pay online in advance with iDEAL, credit card, Bancontact, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The amount you see at booking is the full amount: there is nothing to pay in the car.

Pickup & journey time

What time will the driver collect me in Zoetermeer for a morning flight?

Count back from your flight time: allow a good two hours for check-in plus around 40 minutes on the road. For an 08:00 departure that puts the pick-up at roughly 05:15-05:30, when the A4 is still quiet and the margin is generous.

If your departure falls within the morning rush, allow for a journey of up to around 55 minutes and set off a quarter of an hour earlier.

Which roads does the taxi take from Zoetermeer to Schiphol?

The usual route runs along the A12 towards The Hague, switches to the A4 at the Prins Clausplein heading for Amsterdam, and carries on past Leiden to the Schiphol exit. Outside the rush hour that covers the 39 kilometres in around 40 minutes.

If there is a queue at the Prins Clausplein or on the A4, the driver picks the quickest alternative on the spot.

Do you also collect in Oosterheem, Rokkeveen or at the stations?

Yes, every district of Zoetermeer falls under the same fixed fare, from Oosterheem and Seghwaert to Rokkeveen, Meerzicht and Buytenwegh. The stations Zoetermeer, Zoetermeer Oost and Lansingerland-Zoetermeer are all valid pick-up points too, as are the Lansinghage and Dwarstocht business parks for company trips.

Just give your full address when you book.

Is the taxi quicker than the train from Zoetermeer to Schiphol?

Usually it is. There is no direct train from Zoetermeer; you change at least once along the way and are typically 50 to 60 minutes en route, not counting the trip to the station. Door to door, the taxi takes around 40 minutes outside the rush hour.

With a lot of luggage, an early flight or a group, that gap widens further in practice.

Where does the taxi drop me off at Schiphol?

Your driver drops you off at the departure hall, as close to your check-in as possible. Schiphol's parking and pick-up fees are already included in your fixed price.

How early should I be at Schiphol before my flight?

Schiphol recommends 2 hours for a European flight and 3 hours for an intercontinental one. Your driver plans the pickup time around that, with a margin for rush hour.

Passengers & return journeys

What does a minibus from Zoetermeer cost for a group of six?

A Van (Mercedes V-Class or similar) for 5 to 8 people costs a fixed €109 from anywhere in Zoetermeer. That is one all-in amount including VAT, luggage and the parking at Schiphol. Split between six, it works out at around €18 a head.

There is no night surcharge, even for a pick-up in the small hours.
