Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) to central Amsterdam, the canal ring and Museumplein, plus Haarlem, Utrecht, The Hague and Rotterdam.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Amsterdam takes you from Schiphol to hotels and apartments on the canal ring, around Museumplein and Leidseplein and across the rest of the city, and further afield to Haarlem, Utrecht, The Hague and Rotterdam.
Our Amsterdam airport transfers start at the meeting point in Schiphol Plaza, where all of the airport's arrival halls come out. The meeting point is temporarily located between the NS train counters and La Place, and your driver waits for you there. We track your flight, so a late landing does not leave you without a ride.
You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for couples and business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Amsterdam airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying at a canal-side hotel, an apartment or vacation rental in the city, or an address in Haarlem, Utrecht, The Hague or Rotterdam.
Our Amsterdam airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves Schiphol as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and strollers, so it suits families, groups and business teams heading into the city or on to The Hague and Rotterdam.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Offers inside the terminal. Turn down drivers who approach you inside the terminal offering a ride, and look for your driver at the meeting point in Schiphol Plaza.
Euro and cards. The Netherlands uses the euro, and cards are accepted almost everywhere, often more readily than cash.
