A VIP airport service turns the most stressful part of any trip into a seamless welcome. At Schiphol, SilverDrive combines a personal meet and greet, flight tracking, luggage assistance and a chauffeur-driven transfer in a premium car, with the option of arriving through the private Schiphol VIP Centre. Your guest walks from the aircraft to the car without queues, searching or waiting.

For companies, hosts and assistants arranging travel for important guests, it is the simplest way to make the first impression count.

What Our VIP Airport Service Includes

  • Personal meet and greet in the arrivals hall with a discreet name sign, or at the VIP Centre entrance
  • Real-time flight tracking, so the chauffeur is there when the aircraft lands, early or late
  • 60 minutes of free waiting after the actual landing time
  • Luggage assistance from the belt or the VIP Centre to the car
  • A premium vehicle from our own fleet, prepared with water and charging cables
  • Screened, English-speaking chauffeurs trained in discretion and protocol
  • A fixed price agreed at booking, with no meter and no surge

The Schiphol VIP Centre

The Schiphol VIP Centre is a separate terminal where travellers handle check-in, passport control and security privately and are driven to and from the aircraft. It is bookable regardless of airline or ticket class. Our chauffeur waits at the VIP Centre entrance, so your guest steps from the lounge straight into the car. Learn more on our Schiphol VIP Centre service page and in the Schiphol VIP Centre guide.

Private aviation

For guests flying privately, we work with the handlers at Jet Aviation Amsterdam and other FBOs, coordinating the vehicle as close to the aircraft as procedures allow.

Who Uses a VIP Airport Service?

  • Executive assistants booking for directors and board members
  • Event and conference organisers welcoming speakers and VIP delegates
  • Hotels and concierges arranging arrivals for their most valued guests
  • Embassies and international organisations receiving official visitors
  • Private clients who simply want the arrival to be effortless

The Fleet for VIP Arrivals

  • Mercedes-Maybach S-Class: the definitive VIP welcome.
  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW i7: quiet luxury for executives.
  • Mercedes-Benz EQS: fully electric, for clients with sustainability targets.
  • Mercedes-Benz V-Class and EQV: for families and entourages with luggage, the EQV with massage seats.
  • Sprinter and Setra coach: for delegations and groups.

Discretion as Standard

High-profile guests need more than a nice car. Our chauffeurs never share passenger names, itineraries or photos, and name signs can use a code word instead of a name. Unmarked vehicles, alternative pickup points and coordination with security teams are part of the service. Read more about our discreet chauffeur service for high-profile clients.

Beyond Schiphol

The same standard applies at Eindhoven, Rotterdam The Hague, Brussels and Düsseldorf airports, and for departures as well as arrivals. Combine the airport transfer with hourly chauffeur hire to keep the car available for the rest of the visit.

Departures Deserve the Same Care

A VIP service works just as well in the other direction. The chauffeur collects your guest from the hotel or office with a margin based on the flight and check-in times, handles the luggage and drops them at the departures hall, the VIP Centre or the FBO. If the guest is running late, the chauffeur keeps you informed so you can alert the airline or handler.

How to Book

  1. Share the flight number, guest name or code word and destination via our booking page.
  2. Choose the vehicle and whether to add the VIP Centre.
  3. Confirm the fixed price.
  4. Receive the chauffeur’s details and live updates on the day.

For recurring VIP arrivals or event programmes, ask for a tailored proposal via contact.
