How Early Should You Book a Schiphol Taxi?

There is no single rule, but earlier is safer.

There is no single rule

We do not set a fixed deadline on this page. The sensible approach is to book as soon as your flight and address are confirmed, then message us if anything changes.

Book earlier when

• You travel at a busy time such as school holidays or the spring flower season.
• A large event, trade fair or conference is on in the city.
• Your flight is very early or very late.
• You are a group, or you carry a lot of luggage or special items.
• You are heading to a long-distance destination such as Groningen or Maastricht.

Booking at short notice

If your plans are last minute, open the booking page to see what is available and message us on WhatsApp with your flight, time and destination.

Departures vs arrivals

Arrivals depend on your flight landing. Departures depend on you reaching the airport by your airline’s check-in deadline, so book departure rides with a margin and a sensible traffic buffer. See the departure transfer guide.

Keep it flexible

If your flight time changes, tell us rather than assuming it will sort itself out.
