Your private Schiphol airport transfer
A SilverDrive Schiphol airport transfer is a pre-booked private ride with a professional chauffeur who meets you in the arrivals hall, tracks your flight and drives you directly to your destination at a fixed price. Airport arrivals include 60 minutes of free waiting. We drive 24/7, to Amsterdam, across the Netherlands and into Belgium, Germany and France.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of Europe’s busiest hubs. After a long flight, the last thing you want is a taxi queue or a crowded train. A private transfer removes that final hurdle.
How a Schiphol arrival works
- Book your transfer with your flight number, number of passengers and destination.
- We track your flight so an early or late landing moves your pickup automatically.
- Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals area with a name sign. Schiphol has one terminal with several arrival halls; your chauffeur waits where you will come out.
- Luggage handled. The chauffeur takes your bags and walks you to the car.
- Direct to your door, with water, charging and a quiet cabin.
How a Schiphol departure works
Your chauffeur collects you at the agreed time, planned around your check-in and the security queues of the day, and drops you at the departures kerb. For a completely private experience, we also drive to the Schiphol VIP Centre, where check-in, security and passport control happen away from the terminal.

Tips for a smooth Schiphol transfer
- Add your flight number when you book. It lets us follow delays and gate changes.
- Switch on your phone after landing. Your chauffeur’s details arrive by message, and you can call if you need extra time.
- Allow time for passport control. Non-Schengen arrivals can take longer at peak times. That is what the 60 minutes free waiting is for.
- Travelling with extra luggage, skis or a pram? Mention it so we send a vehicle with enough space, such as the V-Class.
- Leaving from Schiphol? At busy times security queues can be long. We help you plan a pickup time that leaves a comfortable margin.
