Can I get a daily car service from Amstelveen to the RAI during a trade show?
Yes, and by car it is one of the lowest-cost commutes to the RAI: central Amstelveen is about 6 km from the venue and falls inside our Amsterdam price zone, so each ride is a short-ride minimum of €50 in Business Class or €70 in Van Class — €100 a day for a morning drop-off and an evening pickup. The airport run is simple too: Schiphol to central Amstelveen is the fixed Amsterdam price of €90.

Addresses in the south of Amstelveen can fall outside the Amsterdam zone and are then priced per kilometer; the booking page shows the exact price for your hotel. Prices are per car, not per person, with 9% Dutch VAT included, and the same day and night. Booked less than 12 hours before pickup: +10%. At Schiphol the first 60 minutes of waiting are free, elsewhere 15 minutes; after that waiting is charged per minute at the class's hourly rate (Business €65 an hour).

Why Amstelveen works for RAI weeks
IBC names Amstelveen as one of the places to look when Amsterdam hotels are too expensive during a show. It borders Amsterdam to the south, and the RAI is about 6 km away by road.
For more than one colleague, a Van Class car is one price for up to seven people: a whole stand team can travel in the same car at the same minimum fare.
