Uber and Bolt work well in Amsterdam, and for some trips they are cheaper. Their prices move with demand, though, so the fare you see at a busy moment or late at night can be higher than expected. A pre-booked taxi fixes the price before the trip.
With Dutch Cab Company the ride between Schiphol and Amsterdam costs from €40 by sedan and €45 by minivan, at any hour.
The main differences
These are the points travellers ask us about most often.
- Price: app fares change with demand; our price is fixed when you book
- Pickup at Schiphol: ride-hailing apps use their own pickup zone; we meet you at a fixed point
- Early mornings: a pre-booked ride has a confirmed driver for your time
- Groups: one minivan for 5–8 passengers at a single fixed price
- Delays: we follow your flight and adjust the pickup time
Where you meet your driver
The meeting point / pickup location will be: Departure 3C. From Arrivals, take the elevator or stairs upstairs to the Departure level.
When an app can be the better choice
For a short, spontaneous ride at a quiet moment an app can be quick and cheap. For airport trips with a flight to catch, luggage or a group, most travellers prefer knowing the price and driver in advance.
