After you land

Pickup at Schiphol

Schiphol is large, so we always meet at the same spot: Departures 2, on the upper roadway. That way you know in advance where to walk, even when you are tired and it is busy.

Three places where you lose time after landing

With the arrangement on this page you skip all three.

  • Pitfall 01

    Waiting at the wrong spot

    A car cannot stop just anywhere at Schiphol, and the driver waits at one fixed spot: Departures 2, exit F. Waiting anywhere else means waiting for nothing.

  • Pitfall 02

    The baggage belt

    With checked baggage, reckon on half an hour to an hour from landing to outside. The baggage belt is nearly always the longest part of the wait.

  • Pitfall 03

    Searching in the crowds

    Schiphol is large, and after a flight you are tired. Without a fixed meeting point it is easy to head the wrong way.

The procedure

Step by step

From landing to the car in five steps, in the order you go through them.

  1. 1

    Switch your phone on

    Straight after landing, before you even reach the baggage belt. The driver gets in touch by call, text or WhatsApp to agree what time you will be outside.

  2. 2

    Collect your luggage

    This usually takes 15 to 25 minutes. In that time the taxi drives to Schiphol, so you are not waiting for us and we are not waiting for you.

  3. 3

    Go up to Departures 2

    One floor up from the baggage hall, by lift, escalator or stairs.

  4. 4

    Walk out through exit F

    The revolving door at Departures 2. Follow the signs outside.

  5. 5

    Cross over and get in

    Take the crossing to the outer lane. That is where the car pulls up on your signal. On the upper roadway a car may stop briefly, and that is why we meet up here.

Taken care of

What the ride includes

You land, we do the rest. These three things always come with the ride.

  • We track your flight

    By the flight number. If you land later, the driver sets off later; you do not have to report a delay.

  • The driver calls you

    As soon as you have landed. That way you know exactly when to be outside.

  • 45 minutes' waiting included

    After landing we wait 45 minutes at no cost to you, even when the baggage belt is slow. After that the waiting rate of € 59.41 per hour applies.

Why book with us

Three reasons to book your pickup with us

  • Reason 01

    Day and night

    On Sundays and public holidays too, and with no night rate. If you land in the middle of the night, the car is there all the same.

  • Reason 02

    Luggage and child seats

    Suitcases, a wheelchair, a pushchair: they all come along, with no surcharge. A child seat or baby seat costs € 12.50 per seat, per ride; your own seat costs nothing.

  • Reason 03

    Fixed price, up front

    The amount is fixed the moment you book, so nothing is added afterwards. You pay the driver, cash or debit card.

Your part

What you do yourself

Four things, and together they take less than a minute.

  1. 1

    Give us the flight number

    When you book. Without it we cannot track the flight.

  2. 2

    Phone on after landing

    Before you are even at the baggage belt.

  3. 3

    Walk to Departures 2

    One floor up, and outside through exit F.

  4. 4

    Call if you do not see us

    +31 251 74 32 23. Quicker than walking around looking.

Not booked yet?

Frequently asked questions

Why do we meet at Departures 2?

On the upper roadway at Departures 2 a car may stop briefly to pick someone up, so the driver can pull up as soon as you are outside. That is why you go up one floor from the baggage hall.

How long does it take from landing to outside?

With hand luggage only you are usually outside within twenty minutes. With checked baggage, reckon on half an hour to an hour — the baggage belt is nearly always the longest part of the wait.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight number, so we know when you actually land rather than when you were meant to. The driver sets off at the adjusted time. You do not have to tell us anything.

I cannot find the driver. What now?

Call +31 251 74 32 23. We know where the car is and will talk you through it in half a minute. Do not walk around looking — calling is quicker.

What does the pickup cost?

The same as the outward trip: for fifteen towns in the region the fare to and from Schiphol is fixed, the same amount both ways. VAT included and no surcharge for the night, the weekend or a public holiday. If your town is not listed, enter your address in the booking form.

How do I pay?

With the driver, cash or debit card in the car. The amount is already fixed the moment you book, so nothing is added afterwards.

How many people and cases can travel?

Up to four people in a saloon or estate, five to eight in the van with the luggage in the boot. Tell us how many of you there are when you book; a child seat or baby seat costs € 12.50 per seat, per ride.

When do I know the ride is confirmed?

Straight after you send it you get word that the request has arrived. We then check it and send the confirmation, usually within the hour. Only then is the ride confirmed. In a hurry? Call; we answer day and night.
