Schiphol Airport Transfer: How It Works
An airport transfer is a ride you arrange in advance between Schiphol and an address of your choice. This page explains the idea and what to have ready when you book.
Transfer or taxi: what is the difference?
A transfer is booked ahead for a specific journey. A rank taxi is taken on the day. Both are cars with drivers, but a transfer lets you plan the route, passengers and luggage before you land.
What to have ready
- Flight number and arrival or departure time
- Pickup and drop-off address, including hotel name
- Number of passengers and bags
- Any special items such as pushchairs or sports equipment
Where transfers start and end
Most transfers connect Schiphol with Amsterdam, but the same idea works for other cities. Browse all destinations for approximate distances and times.
