Private Schiphol transfer
The private Schiphol transfer is a private transfer to or from Schiphol. We have not checked its duration, price, waiting time or booking terms: see the listing before booking.
Rydeu: free waiting and flexible cancellation
Rydeu offers a sedan or a minivan for a trip of about 20 minutes. The listing states 60 minutes of free waiting at the airport (15 minutes at the hotel), flight tracking and free cancellation up to 24 hours before. The price was not visible in our extracts: check your date on the page. The displayed rate is probably per vehicle, but confirm before booking.
ADT Taxi Amsterdam: sedan or V Class
The ADT Taxi Amsterdam listing offers a sedan or a V Class (minivan), in both directions. It is shown from $55 per person, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. It is the simplest option for two travellers who want a driver without booking a large vehicle. Check how many suitcases are accepted.
Another private transfer from Schiphol
This other private transfer listing from Schiphol also exists, but we saw neither its price nor its reviews: choose it only after comparing its terms (waiting time, luggage, cancellation) with the offers above. You can also browse Amsterdam: Train Transfer to or from Schiphol Airport.
If you would rather not look for a taxi on arrival (night flight, family, lots of luggage, first visit), Welcome Pickups offers a private transfer booked in advance: a fixed price agreed before you travel, an English-speaking driver waiting in the arrivals hall with a sign with your name, and flight tracking if you are delayed. Price seen on their site in October 2026, Schiphol → Amsterdam: from €52 for a sedan. Read the cancellation terms shown on their site before booking. By day and without heavy luggage, the train remains much cheaper.
And the train, the bus or the official taxi?
The figures below come from our guide Schiphol to central Amsterdam.
| Option | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|
| NS train to Amsterdam Centraal | about 15 to 20 min | 5.50 € |
| Bus 397 (Museumplein, Leidseplein) | about 30 min | 6.50 € |
| Official taxi (capped fare) | depending on traffic | cap of about 80 € for 20 km |
So a private transfer costs about the same as the official taxi for three people, with a price fixed at booking, but far more than the train. See also taxis and Uber in Amsterdam.
What is not included / pitfalls
- Price per vehicle: "from" refers to the smallest group or the sedan; a minivan or more passengers costs more.
- Luggage: a sedan takes about 3 suitcases; declare them when booking, as a surcharge is possible.
- One way: the return to Schiphol is booked separately.
- Waiting: beyond the free waiting time, a surcharge may apply.
- Contact details: give your flight number, exact address and phone number; without them the driver cannot find you.
Which offer should you choose?
- Family or group of 3 to 4: the private Schiphol transfer (check the vehicle size on the listing).
- Flight that may be late: Rydeu, for the free hour of waiting.
- Couple or solo traveller: ADT Taxi, priced per person.
- Tight budget: the 5.50 € train, no private transfer.
- Hotel near the Museumplein: bus 397 or a private transfer.
Booking at the right time
Book at least 48 hours ahead if the listing requires it, and as soon as your flight times are known. Free cancellation usually runs up to 24 hours before: use it if your flight changes. To estimate your whole trip, see the budget for a trip to Amsterdam and transport in Amsterdam. If you arrive late or travel as a group, a taxi or transfer booked in advance saves you waiting at the taxi rank.
