Schiphol minibus taxi: plenty of choice, from 5 to 52 passengers
Schiphol minibus taxi for your group: EQV, V-Class, Sprinter 8, 16/20 or 28/30 and a Setra coach for 52. Private transfer, flight tracking, fixed price.
Looking for a minibus taxi at Schiphol for your group? With SilverDrive you do not pick from a single van; you choose from a complete group fleet: from an all electric Mercedes EQV with massage seats for five or six passengers to a Setra coach with 52 seats. In between sit the Mercedes V-Class and three sizes of Mercedes Sprinter. Your group always travels together, in one vehicle that fits the number of people and the luggage.
Every journey is a private transfer with your own chauffeur and a fixed price you know before you travel. You never share the vehicle with other passengers, there is no meter running and your chauffeur tracks your flight.

Why book a group taxi at Schiphol?
A standard taxi takes three or four passengers at most. With a larger group you quickly end up in two or three cars, arriving at different times.
One minivan or minibus solves it:
- Everyone together: the whole group leaves and arrives at the same time.
- All the luggage on board: suitcases, golf bags, buggies or equipment travel in the same vehicle.
- One fixed price: you pay per vehicle, not per person, and you know the amount in advance.
- One point of contact: one chauffeur, one journey, no juggling separate taxis.

| Vehicle | Seats | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Mercedes EQV Massage Seats | 5 or 6 | Small groups, zero emission, days in the Randstad |
| Mercedes V-Class | up to 7 | Families, small teams, lots of luggage |
| Mercedes Sprinter 8 | 8 | Small groups, crews, families with holiday luggage |

| Setra S 515 HDH coach | up to 52 | Large parties, sports teams, events |
Mercedes EQV Massage Seats: 5 or 6 passengers
The EQV is the fully electric version of the V-Class, with five or six seats. Two massage seats sit in the first passenger row, directly behind the chauffeur, so you step out rested after a long flight. With no tailpipe emissions it suits companies that report their emissions and city centres with tighter access rules. It is at its best on Schiphol runs and days across the Randstad. Please note: the EQV with massage seats is only available in selected countries.
Mercedes V-Class minivan taxi: up to 7 passengers
Once a group passes two or three people with plenty of suitcases, the V-Class is usually the smart choice: seven seats and room for seven cases, so nobody has to travel in a second car. On request it comes in a conference layout, with two pairs of seats facing each other and a table in between. The V-Class is tall, so we check car park and hotel entrance height limits before the day.
Mercedes Sprinter 8: the 8 seater minibus
Is your group just too big for a V-Class? The Sprinter 8 is the natural next step. Eight passengers travel together, with comfortable seats and room behind them for every suitcase. It is the classic minibus taxi for eight people at Schiphol: families with holiday luggage, small delegations and film or event crews with their kit.
Mercedes Sprinter 16/20: groups of 16 to 20
The Sprinter 16/20 is the most versatile vehicle in our group fleet. It carries a delegation, a project team or a wedding party as one unit, and it reaches hotel forecourts and venue entrances that a coach cannot. Inside there is comfortable seating with good legroom and luggage space for everything the group brings.
Mercedes Sprinter 28/30: groups of 28 to 30
Our largest Sprinter has 28 to 30 seats and generous luggage space. It is made for the days when everyone needs to arrive together: conference delegations, incentive groups, wedding guests and event shuttles. It still stays compact enough to pull up at hotel entrances, terminal kerbs and venue doors where a full size coach cannot go.
Setra S 515 HDH: coach for up to 52 passengers
For the largest groups we run the Setra S 515 HDH, a high deck coach from the TopClass range, Setra’s flagship line. Under the high floor there is substantial luggage space for cases and equipment. At just under 12.5 metres it is the shortest TopClass HDH model, which lets it into hotel forecourts and historic city approaches that longer coaches cannot enter. Sports teams, touring artists, corporate delegations and large wedding parties travel in it together.
Extra luggage? A luggage trailer can be added to any of our Sprinters on request. Please ask for it separately when you book, for example for a sports team with equipment or a group with ski bags.
How your Schiphol group transfer works
Pickup on arrival
Landing at Schiphol with your group? We track your flight and adjust the pickup time if it lands early or late. Your chauffeur meets the group in the arrivals hall with a name sign and walks you to the vehicle. The luggage goes on board and the group drives straight to the hotel, office or venue. Read more about our Schiphol airport transfer.
To Schiphol for departure
We collect the group from one or several addresses and get you to departures in good time.
Across the Netherlands and Europe
Our group vehicles do not only run between Amsterdam and Schiphol. We drive to and from Schiphol from anywhere in the Netherlands, such as The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht or Eindhoven, and further: to Belgium, Germany, France and the rest of Europe. On long coach journeys we plan around European drivers’ hours rules, and a long day may need a second driver.
