Fantastic service. My boys were stuck at the airport due to bad weather and even when other companies wouldn't travel, this service kept in touch with them and came and picked them up and made a stressful time a little more bearable. Thank you. Yeats Paul
It was a little hard to find the driver, but our flight was late and he was still waiting. Car was excellant and it was an uneventful pleasant trip. Anthony Rerecich
So impressed with this company! They contacted me to inform me of a port change before our ship let us know! They assured us our driver would meet us at the new port and there would not be any problems! Will definitely use this company again!! Geri M
The driver was very nice and polite. He had a card with my name on it in his hand. He took care of my luggage quickly. The car is clean and well-kept. I highly recommend KiwiTaxi. Jacek Swieca
I booked a last minute transfer in the middle of the night and the service was so fast and fully available to make it as smoothly as possible. Annamaria
The trip went great, the driver was early and very professional, he helped us load the bags in and out of the car. I would recomend kiwitaxi to anyone. 10/10 great service. William
All went well! Good communication on whatapp and on a phone with confirm. Friendly driver, good clean car, and on-time. Also safe driving, would book my transfer here again Recommend! Marina
I was pleasantly surprised that my return ride was GREAT. I had some problems with my first ride from the Istanbul Airport into town and had planned to also handle the return trip with Kiwitaxi. This drive and this trip was very good. The vehicle was clean, the driver arrived 10 minutes early, was very helpful in getting our bags into the vehicle, was polite, spoke Turkish, Arabic, and English. He was a safe driver, did NOT use his phone during the trip, was friendly but also was appropriately quiet. It was a good last impression that was left. VanettaA
All good - our driver, Anthony, was early to collect us, helpful with our luggage, and pleasant to chat to en route to the airport. Would definitely recommend this service. Carole P
Kirill is excellent. Very caring, helping, intelligent with great driving skills. In our short drive home we had a guided tour around dinner of the Barcelona's famous neighbourhoods and landmarks and had a lecture on history of the city. Overall top notch service and great value for money. Iwan Potapow

Transfers vs. Other Ways to Get from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

Schiphol is the most important air hub of Europe, together with London Heathrow in Great Britain, Frankfurt International air hub in Germany, and Paris Charles de Gaulle in France. This is as well the main air hub of the Netherlands, which receives more than 58 million passengers annually. Nearby are the cruise port of Amsterdam (Haarlemmerbuurt), the Hague, Rotterdam, and Vinkeveen.

How to get from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam city center or the other way round

The air hub is located 17 km away from the city. Here is the main information about the ways to get to the city:

  • trains run from 05:30 to 01:00 every 15 minutes (the rest of time — once an hour). By train, you can get to the city center (Central train station) in 15-17 minutes. Tickets can be bought in yellow NS ticket machines, at NS Dutch Railways counters at Schiphol Plaza or on the official site. The departure train station is located right before the airport (follow the Schiphol Railway Station signs);
  • shuttle buses run from 06:00 to 21:30 (waiting time — up to 30 minutes). The Schiphol Hotel Shuttle, an 8 pax minibus, connects the airport with the majority of the city hotels. Tickets can be bought on the carrier’s site or at the air hub. The stop is located on the A7 platform, opposite the arrivals terminal exit;
  • buses №197 (Amsterdam Airport Express) run to the Museum Quarter and Leidseplein Square from 05:00 to 00:30 with an interval of 15 minutes. At night, buses N97 run on the same route from с 01:27 to 4:27 every hour. The stops you need to get off are B9/B11 and B8/B13, and they are located to the right of the terminal central exit (opposite Schiphol Plaza). Tickets can be bought from the driver or at the Holland Tourist Information counter at the airport;
  • taxi can be taken on the spot or booked via the app;
  • transfer can be booked online in advance.

Public transport goes at night not very often, so after 01:00, the most convenient way to get to the city will be a taxi or a transfer.

Transfer vs. Taxi from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (taken on the spot or ordered via the app)

Advantages of a private transfer

No need to wait. If you take a taxi on the spot or via the app, you will have to wait for the car. Are you in hurry or afraid of being late for your flight? Use our service: it will come at the specified time.

A private driver at the price of a local taxi. A taxi trip from the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to the city center will cost approximately 40–50 euro. The Kiwitaxi car of a micro class for three people costs 43 euro.

No need to overpay for a short trip. Some taxi drivers in Amsterdam try to charge passengers the amount, which exceeds the real trip cost tenfold.

Disadvantage of a private transfer

Much more expensive than Uber. The fare of an UberX trip from the airport to the city center starts from 25–30 euro.

Transfer from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport vs. Shuttle Bus

Advantages of a private transfer

Cheaper if you travel in a group of 3–4 people. One shuttle bus ticket costs 17 euro, so a trip for 4 people will cost 48 euro. A 4-seater car of an economy class can be booked for 45.

Travel to your destination, not your travel companions. If your hotel is one of the last on the route, you will have to wait until the shuttle bus drops other passengers off.

Almost 4 times faster. You will waste up to half an hour waiting for your travel companions, and around 1 hour more on traveling to the hotel. You can get by transfer from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam city center in 25 minutes.

Disadvantage of a private transfer

More expensive if you travel alone or in a pair because a private car service costs minimum 43 euro.

Transfer from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport vs Bus and Train

Advantages of a private transfer

Faster than by bus. A trip by bus from Schiphol to the city will take around 45 minutes including waiting time. Our car service will take you there 20 minutes faster.

No changes. Buses and trains run only to the city center. In order to get to the hotel, you need to change to public transport. Alternatively, you can travel by transfer from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport directly to your hotel in the city.

As expensive if you travel in a group of four. A trip by train or bus from the air hub to the hotel (including one change in the city) will cost around 8 euro. If you are traveling in a group of 4 people, it will approximately cost 32 euro. Our service for 4 people will cost 45 euro, which is only 3,3 euro more expensive for each passenger.

You can travel even during the railroad works, and if you haven't learned about these works in advance, you will have to search for another way to get to the city.

Disadvantages of a private transfer

More expensive, if you travel alone or in a pair. By bus, you can get from the airport to Amsterdam for 5 euro, by train — for 5,2 euro (4,20 euro — - if you buy a transport card). A ticket on public transport can be bought for 2,9 euro (valid for 1 hour).

You can get stuck in a traffic jam, which will definitely not happen in case of a train.
