GUIDE · SAFETY & PEACE OF MIND · AMSTERDAM

Safe hands,
and proof of it.

Peace of mind in a chauffeured car is not a slogan; it is a short list of things you can check. Where the car is, who is driving, what the trip costs, who answers the phone at three in the morning. This page sets out that list, and nothing else.

01 / The honest version

What safety means when you are the one in the back.

Most of what makes a ride feel safe is mundane. You know the car is coming because you can see it on a map. You know who is driving because the name and the licence plate are on your screen before the door opens. You know what it will cost because the amount was fixed when you booked, so nobody has a reason to take the long way round the A10. And if anything is off, one message reaches a person at dispatch who can act on it.

You will not find claims here about vetting procedures, training hours or cover amounts. We keep to what you can verify on the day: a hand-picked, experienced chauffeur in a suit, a premium black car from the classes on our fleet pages, a live position on My Ride while you are on board, and a dispatch line staffed around the clock, every day of the year.

We are a chauffeur company, not a security firm, and nothing here is a protective promise. It describes how an ordinary AmstelCab ride is run, for the traveller landing late, the parent putting a teenager in a car, and the assistant booking for someone else.

02 / What you can check

Six things that are true on every ride.

Live location on My Ride

From the moment the chauffeur sets off, your booking page shows the car on a map and keeps showing it until you arrive. Nothing to install; the page opens from your confirmation.

Open My Ride
Name, plate and a direct line

Once a chauffeur is assigned, My Ride shows their name, the licence plate and a phone number. Match the plate to the car at the kerb before you get in.

A price fixed before departure

The amount is settled at booking and does not move: no meter, no surge, no card surcharge. A chauffeur who is not paid by the kilometre has nothing to gain from a detour.

Updates to whoever booked

Book for a colleague, a parent or a guest and you are told when the ride is confirmed, when the chauffeur is en route, when the passenger is in the car and when they have arrived.

Booking for someone else
Dispatch, day and night

One number, +31 6 85141194, for phone and WhatsApp, answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in English and Dutch, by the people who assign the cars.

Child and baby seats, fitted before pickup

Ask for a seat when you book, €5 each, and the car arrives with it already fitted, in Business, Van or First Class. Tell us the child’s age.

03 / How a ride stays visible

Four messages, from confirmation to the front door.

The ride reports on itself at each step, to passenger and booker alike; nobody has to ring and ask.

01
Confirmed

Straight away, with the fixed price, the class and the pickup time in writing. For a Schiphol pickup we start tracking the flight from this moment.

02
Chauffeur en route

The status changes and the car appears on the map. If the flight lands early or late, the pickup time has already moved with it.

03
Passenger in the car

The booker is told the passenger is on board. From here the live position runs until the door opens at the destination.

04
Safely arrived

The last update. For an assistant at a desk or a parent at home, this is the message that ends the evening.

04 / Who is driving, and what

A chauffeur you could introduce, in a car you would recognise.

Our chauffeurs are hand-picked and experienced, professionally dressed in a suit, and speak English. They know Amsterdam’s one-way system and which Schiphol garage is nearest to which arrivals hall. They are not asked to hurry; the price is fixed, so there is nothing to gain from it.

The cars are black, premium and late-model: Mercedes-Benz E-Class, EQE, S-Class, EQS and V-Class, BMW 5 Series, i5 and i7, each with water and chargers on board. We are not a platform; the person who answers the phone is the person who sent the car.

06 / Questions, answered
Can I see where my chauffeur is?

Yes. Your My Ride page shows the car on a map from the moment the chauffeur sets off, and keeps showing it while you are on board. The page opens from the link in your confirmation; there is nothing to install.

How do I know the car at the door is mine?

My Ride shows the chauffeur’s name, the licence plate and a phone number, and the chauffeur has your name in turn. At Schiphol the chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall with a name sign. If anything does not match, do not get in; call dispatch.

Does a fixed price really change how a ride is driven?

It removes the one reason a driver might ever choose a longer road. Your quote is agreed before departure and covers the trip door to door, taxes included, with no meter running.

I am booking for my parents. What do they need to do?

Nothing beyond being at the door. Put their phone number in the passenger field if they have one, or yours if they do not; you receive every status update either way. The chauffeur meets them at the address or in the arrivals hall, helps with the luggage and drives.

What happens if something goes wrong during the ride?

You have two direct lines: the chauffeur’s number on My Ride and dispatch on +31 6 85141194, both answered at any hour. Dispatch can see where the car is and reach the chauffeur immediately.

Why does this page say nothing about vetting or training?

Because we would rather not print claims you cannot check. What we publish is what you can see for yourself: a hand-picked chauffeur, a car you can identify by its plate, a price agreed in advance, and a dispatch line that answers.

Know where the car is.
