I hurt my knee — what is the best way to travel from Amsterdam to The Hague without walking?
A car from door to door: the chauffeur collects you at your Amsterdam entrance and sets you down at the exact address in The Hague, about 62 km and roughly an hour away, with no stations, stairs or platforms in between, for about €212 in Business Class, fixed when you book. If you prefer the train, direct trains run from Amsterdam Centraal to The Hague, and NS Travel Assistance will help you on and off if you book it at least one hour before departure.

Making the ride easy on the knee
- Say what you need. In the Pickup notes: the injury, crutches or a chair, and whether you need extra room.
- Ask about space. Tell dispatch you need room for the leg, and they suggest the class that suits it.
- Door to door. The chauffeur carries the bags; you only walk from the door to the car.
- Stops on request. A short break to stretch is a word to the chauffeur.

Can the chauffeur stop so I can stretch my leg?
Yes, a short stop on the way is fine; tell the chauffeur. A longer stop or a detour goes into the fixed quote if you mention it at booking.
How do I book help on the train instead?
Through NS Travel Assistance in the NS journey planner, at least one hour before departure; NS suggests requesting it no more than three days ahead.
Is the return trip priced the same?
Roughly: The Hague to Amsterdam is the same distance, about €212 in Business Class; the booking page shows the exact amount for your addresses.
