Mercedes-Maybach chauffeur car for an elite transfer from Schiphol to The Hague

An elite chauffeur service from Schiphol to The Hague gets you from the arrivals hall to your hotel, embassy or office in 35 to 45 minutes, in a premium car with a screened, discreet chauffeur. Your flight is tracked, the chauffeur waits with a name sign and the price is fixed at booking, so the transfer runs to your schedule, not the traffic’s.

It is the standard of service diplomats, executives and international delegates expect when they land for business in the Dutch seat of government.

The Route from Schiphol to The Hague

The drive follows the A4 south past Hoofddorp and Leiden, then the A44 or the A4 and Utrechtsebaan into the city, depending on your destination and the traffic at that moment.

Arrival Options at Schiphol

Schiphol Plaza

The classic meet and greet: your chauffeur waits just beyond customs with a name sign and helps with the luggage to the car park.

The Schiphol VIP Centre

For ministers, executives and high-profile guests, the private VIP Centre handles check-in, passport control and security away from the main terminal. Your car waits at the VIP Centre entrance. See our Schiphol VIP Centre service.

Private aviation

Guests arriving through Jet Aviation Amsterdam are met at the FBO, with the car as close to the aircraft as the handler’s procedures allow.

Departures from The Hague to Schiphol

For a European flight, we recommend leaving central The Hague around two and a half hours before departure; for long-haul flights, three to three and a half hours. In rush hour on the A4 near Leiden, your chauffeur will suggest an earlier pickup. Guests departing through the VIP Centre need less time in the terminal, so the pickup can be later.
