How do I get from Amsterdam to Eindhoven station for a 9am Market Garden tour?
Leave your Amsterdam hotel by about 6:46: Eindhoven Centraal is about 126 km away, 1 h 44 on a clear road, and a car there costs about €431 one way in Business Class, fixed when you book. The train works too if an early departure gets you in before 8:45, so check the NS planner; and if your guide starts at Arnhem station instead, that is 97 km and about €332.

Early train or a car
When the train is fine
- An early train from Amsterdam arrives in time and you travel light
- You are comfortable with the station at that hour and one change if needed
- The tour returns you to the same station in the evening
When a chauffeur is the better choice
- The first trains leave too little margin for a 9:00 start
- Three or four of you share the car, which is priced per car
- The tour ends somewhere other than the station you started from
- You would rather sleep for the drive
Related questions
Can the car take us straight to the guide instead of the station?
Yes, if the guide agrees a meeting point that suits both of you; send it to us and the chauffeur drives there. The price follows the address.
How do we get back after the tour?
Book a pickup at the end point at a set time, priced like the way out, or message dispatch when the tour ends. If you fly home the next day, Eindhoven to Schiphol is about 132 km.
Why not let the guide collect us in Amsterdam?
Ask yours: if the tour includes a pickup in Amsterdam, you need no transfer at all. If it starts at a station near the sites, a car to that station saves you the earliest train.
