Business trips beyond Amsterdam: ASML in Veldhoven, the courts in The Hague, and booking for your executive
Not every business trip to the Netherlands ends at the RAI. Engineers and suppliers fly into Schiphol for ASML in Veldhoven, about two hours south; lawyers, NGO staff and diplomats head for the International Criminal Court and the Peace Palace in The Hague; and executive assistants book cars for people they will never meet at the curb. These pages answer the questions they ask, with road distances, the visitor rules the institutions publish and AmstelCab’s fixed prices.
AmstelCab is an independent Amsterdam chauffeur service with no relationship to ASML, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice or any other organization named here. Their buildings are named the way a map names them: as places a car may be asked to reach.

ASML in Veldhoven and Eindhoven
What is the best way from Schiphol to ASML in Veldhoven?With luggage and a meeting to reach, a car: about 132 km (82 miles) and roughly 1 h 47 on a clear A2, from the arrivals hall to the ASML entrance you name on De Run, for about €451 per car in Business Class, fixed when you book.
Is there a car service from Amsterdam airport to Veldhoven after a long-haul flight?Yes: the chauffeur meets you inside the arrivals hall, tracks your flight, waits the first 60 minutes after landing at no charge, and then drives the 1 h 47 to Veldhoven while you rest or take calls.
How long is the drive from Schiphol to Eindhoven?About 1 h 45 on a clear road for the 130 km (81 miles) to Eindhoven Centraal, almost all of it on the A2, and much the same to Eindhoven Airport or ASML in Veldhoven.
Can I get a daily driver between my Eindhoven hotel and the ASML campus?Yes, and for a plain commute two fixed rides a day cost the least: the campus is about 8 km from Eindhoven station, so each ride is the €70 minimum in Business Class, €140 a day or €700 for a five-day week.
How do I get from ASML in Veldhoven to Schiphol for an evening flight to the US?Book a car to leave the campus at least 5 hours before departure: the 134 km to Schiphol take roughly 1 h 50 on a clear road, and we advise being at the airport 3 hours before a US flight.
How do I arrange a group transfer from Schiphol for a team visiting ASML?Split the team by flight and by car size: one van seats 7 with room for 7 cases, about €586 from Schiphol to Veldhoven, a Business Class car up to 3 for about €451, so 10 people on one flight travel in a van and a sedan for about €1,037.
The international courts in The Hague
How do I get from Schiphol to the International Criminal Court in The Hague?By car it is about 43 km (27 miles) and roughly 42 minutes without traffic to the Court on the Oude Waalsdorperweg, where vehicles may drop you in front of the main entrance but not stay; in Business Class that is about €147 per car, fixed at booking.
Is there a taxi stand at the ICC in The Hague?No: the Court says the drop-off point in front of its main entrance is not a permanent taxi stand, so its information desk orders a taxi for you when you leave, and it advises using only licensed taxis with blue number plates.
Can a driver wait for me during a hearing at the ICC?Yes: book the car by the hour from your hotel in The Hague, €65 an hour in Business Class with a 2-hour minimum, and the chauffeur waits at the Court’s free visitors’ car park on Van Alkemadelaan, because no vehicle may stay at the entrance.
Is there a car service between the Peace Palace, the ICC and my hotel in The Hague?Yes: the Peace Palace and the ICC are only about 3 km apart by road, some 6 minutes, and each ride between them or to a hotel in The Hague costs the €70 minimum per car in Business Class.
Should I fly into Schiphol or Rotterdam The Hague Airport for the ICC?From the US it is usually Schiphol, because Rotterdam The Hague Airport only has scheduled flights to European and Mediterranean destinations, such as London City, so getting there means a connection.
Can I hire a private car for a legal team visiting The Hague for a week?Yes: book the arrival and departure as airport transfers, about €191 each way in Van Class for up to 7 people, and the court days by the hour from your hotel, €80 an hour for the van with a 2-hour minimum.
Booking for executives: assistants and travel managers
How do I book a reliable chauffeur in Amsterdam for my CEO?Book online with your CEO as the passenger and yourself as the booker: you both get the confirmation and the chauffeur’s name, car and phone number before pickup, and you receive every status update, from confirmed to arrived.
Should I book a half day or a full day for a financial roadshow car in Amsterdam?Work back from the schedule: book from the first pickup to the last drop-off plus a margin, since the car is charged by the hour and waits outside every meeting.
Can I get live updates on my executive’s pickup in Amsterdam?Yes: when you book as the booker, you receive every status change of the ride — confirmed, chauffeur en route, guest in the car, arrived — and your own My Ride link shows the car on a live map from the moment the chauffeur sets off.
Is there a chauffeur company in Amsterdam that invoices monthly?AmstelCab invoices business customers through a corporate account instead of taking a card for every ride, and how often you are invoiced, and on what payment term, is agreed with you when the account is set up.
Can I get a driver who signs an NDA for a board visit in Amsterdam?Yes: if your compliance team requires a signed confidentiality agreement, send it with the booking and dispatch arranges it before the visit.
