Welcome to SilverDrive: Private Drivers and Chauffeurs
Welcome to SilverDrive, the Amsterdam chauffeur service with its own Mercedes fleet, fixed prices and screened chauffeurs. See how we work, then book.
Welcome to SilverDrive
SilverDrive is a premium chauffeur service from Amsterdam. We drive our own Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and BMW i7 cars with screened, English-speaking chauffeurs, at a price fixed when you book. Business or pleasure, airport or cross-border, the aim is the same: you arrive on time, relaxed and without having thought about the logistics.
This page is our introduction. It explains who we are, how the service works, which cars we drive and what you will find on this site, from city guides to practical travel tips.
Why choose SilverDrive?
We are more than a transportation company. Clients tell us they come back for three things: the car is always what they booked, the chauffeur is always on time, and the price is never a discussion.
An operator, not a broker
Many booking platforms resell your ride to whichever driver is available. SilverDrive owns and maintains its fleet and employs its chauffeurs directly. That means one standard for cleanliness, punctuality and discretion, and one point of contact if plans change. Read how SilverDrive began or more about us.
Fixed prices, no meter
Every booking has a fixed price that covers the vehicle, the chauffeur, fuel and tolls on the agreed route. There is no surge pricing at busy times and no meter running in traffic. Our prices page shows how quotes are built.
Chauffeurs you can trust
Every chauffeur is screened, licensed and trained for international guests. They speak English, know when to talk and when to stay quiet, and treat what they hear in the car as confidential.
Our fleet of premium vehicles
You book a vehicle class, and that is what arrives. The full line-up is on our fleet page:

Discover destinations with a private driver
The world is full of places worth the drive, and many of them are closer to Amsterdam than people think.

Travel tips and insider insights
Planning a trip well comes down to small details. On our blog we share what our chauffeurs learn on the road every day:
- How early to leave for Schiphol at peak times.
- Which Amsterdam hotels have easy kerbside access and which require a short walk.
- How to plan a multi-city business trip without trains and transfers.
- What to expect at Dutch and Belgian cruise terminals.
How booking works
- Choose your route, date and vehicle on the booking page. It takes around three minutes.
- Receive confirmation with a fixed price.
- Get your chauffeur’s details before the ride.
- Meet your chauffeur at the door, the terminal or the venue.
For multi-day itineraries, events and groups, send the details through our contact page and we will build a single quote.
Who rides with SilverDrive?
Our clients are as varied as the trips. Executives use us between Schiphol and the Zuidas. Families book a V-Class for the holiday airport run. Event organisers move speakers and guests between hotels and venues. Couples book a Maybach for their wedding day. Patients travel with us to clinics abroad, and collectors trust us with high-value items. What they share is a need for a car that turns up, a driver they can trust and a price that does not move.
Whatever brings you here, you will find the same promise in every ride: the car you booked, a chauffeur who is on time, and a price that was agreed before you got in.
