Taxi Centrale HeemskerkDoor to door
Taxi from Heemskerk to Haarlem
Twenty kilometres, a little under half an hour, and one tunnel that makes all the difference. We pick you up at your door and drop you at the address you give us in Haarlem — and there is no hunting for a parking space in the centre.
The route: under the North Sea Canal
From Heemskerk the road runs along the N197 past Beverwijk onto the A22, where it dives into the Velsertunnel and passes under the North Sea Canal. On the far side it becomes the A9, and the A200 — the Amsterdamseweg — takes you into Haarlem. That is about twenty kilometres to the station; if you need the Grote Markt, allow another four kilometres across town.
That tunnel is also the only uncertain part of this ride. Outside rush hour you sail straight through and are in Haarlem in a good twenty minutes. Between seven and nine in the morning it can come to a standstill, and during a closure or maintenance the traffic is diverted through the Wijkertunnel on the A9 — a detour of about fifteen minutes.
If you have to be somewhere at a fixed time — an appointment at the Spaarne Gasthuis, a train from Haarlem station — put that in the Note field when you book. Then we build in that margin instead of leaving you to guess.

Why people book this ride
By train it is direct: the stopping train runs from Heemskerk station to Haarlem without a change. But you still have to get to the station first, and at the other end walk from the station to your address. If you are carrying luggage, unsteady on your feet, or simply would rather not, a taxi gets you there sooner and without the fuss.
Parking in Haarlem is expensive and scarce. For an evening out or an appointment of an hour, a taxi there and back is often simpler than circling the Grote Markt looking for a space.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the ride from Heemskerk to Haarlem take?
Outside rush hour, about twenty minutes over some twenty kilometres. In the morning rush the Velsertunnel can add ten to fifteen minutes. We work back from the time you need to be there, not from the time that suits us.
What does a taxi from Heemskerk to Haarlem cost?
That depends on the number of passengers and the exact address. Enter the ride in the booking form and you see the amount straight away, before you commit to anything. Nothing is added to it: no night surcharge, no charge for luggage.
Can I travel back at night?
Yes. We drive day and night, including Sundays and public holidays, and it costs no more than during the day. Book the return leg at the same time and the car is waiting as you walk out.
Do you also drive from Haarlem to Heemskerk?
Yes, the same ride the other way round. Give Haarlem as the pickup address when you book. We are based on the Heemskerk side of the tunnel, so bear in mind that the car has to come through it first.
