Do I need a private transfer from Schiphol Airport
Private transfers from Amsterdam airport work best when you fall into one or more of the following:
- large group.
- lots of luggage.
- your accommodation is not close to Centraal Station.
Amsterdam is not a drivers city. It is much more of a walking and cycling city, but that is once you are there. There is an amazing tram network plus a metro/underground network. There are also buses.
Amsterdam is a compact city and very easy to get around and you will not find cars blocking up roads in endless traffic jams, some of the roads are just not suitable for cars full stop.
If you choose to arrive by the popular train from Schiphol Airport, you will alight at Central Station. This means you will either walk to your hotel if nearby or you will then need to get onto another form of transport to make the onward journey.
You will also need to look into public transport ticket options and find the right lines to take you as near to your hotel as possible. These can all be stressful or tiring things to do after a flight.
The Amsterdam Airport Express bus is another option that will take you through the city ending at Leidesplein. It also has stops at Museumplein which is useful if you are staying in the museum district of Amsterdam.
Private transfer Amsterdam
A private transfer from Amsterdam Airport can prove its worth in many ways.
In the current climate of Covid precautions, travelling in small groups can to some be considered more desirable. You will be picked up from the airport, (usually the driver is waiting for you in arrivals with a sign bearing your name), they will help you load your luggage and then take you directly to your hotel in Amsterdam, so no additional transport will be required and very minimal walking with cases.
It will be more expensive than any of the other transfer options. Prices vary but start from around €70, so if you are on a budget it may not be suitable for you.
But, if you want a relaxed door to door service, with no waiting times and travelling to your Amsterdam hotel in an executive vehicle then you should definitely consider a private transfer.
