Wassenaar,
by private chauffeur.
A black car at the gate, a chauffeur in a suit and one fixed all-in price — for the early flight out of Schiphol, the reception in The Hague and everything in between.
Green lanes, long drives, gates that open slowly.
Wassenaar occupies the gap between The Hague and Leiden: a belt of woodland, estate walls and dune landscape with the Rijksstraatweg — the N44 — running straight through the middle and almost everything worth reaching lying off it, down lanes too narrow and too green to hurry along. Houses stand well back from the road, so the address matters far more than the postcode when a car is sent to collect someone.
Much of the diplomatic community attached to The Hague lives here, together with executives who work in the city, families who chose the dunes over a canal belt, and members of the clubs in the woods. What they share is a diary written by other people: a flight at seven, an evening at an embassy, a tee time, a train from Leiden, a plane landing while the school run is still going on.
We drive the municipality daily and treat it as its own place rather than a suburb of somewhere else. The N44 becomes the A44 north of the village and puts Schiphol roughly 32 minutes away over 45 kilometres; the same road southbound reaches the Hague ministries in about a quarter of an hour, and Leiden is closer still. The rest of the country is covered from the same desk — see chauffeur service across the Netherlands.
The rides that actually come out of Wassenaar.
Bags in the boot before it is properly light, the A44 empty, and a terminal drop at the right hall. Coming home, the chauffeur waits inside arrivals with a name sign while the flight is tracked from the moment you book.
A reception at a residence, a concert, dinner near the Lange Voorhout. The car sets you down at the entrance and waits out of sight until you message the chauffeur, which is a great deal simpler than parking anywhere near the centre.
Clubs and shoes in the boot, a clean arrival at the clubhouse in the woods and a car that reappears when the last putt drops — long lunch included.
Wassenaar has no station of its own, so Leiden Centraal and Den Haag Centraal do the work — the car timed to the train rather than to the traffic.
Duinrell, the beach at Wassenaarse Slag, Museum Voorlinden or the dunes at Meijendel. A Van Class takes seven people with buggies and beach bags; child and baby seats are fitted on request.
Wassenaar to Schiphol, and the rest of the day.
The airport run is quoted per car as one all-in amount for the 45 kilometres, taxes included. Hourly hire is the alternative when the day has several stops and no fixed endpoint.
Hourly hire starts and ends in the same place, which suits a day of appointments between Wassenaar, The Hague and Leiden. A booking made within twelve hours of pickup adds ten per cent; cancellation is free up to an hour before.
From the first message to the gate.
Street and number, plus the detail that helps: the second gate, the service entrance, the lane behind the hedge. Book online or send it on WhatsApp — no account, no app.
The all-in price appears with the booking and does not move afterwards. Flight number for an airport run, and a note if a child seat is needed at five euros each.
Your chauffeur is at the gate ahead of time, in a suit, with water and chargers on board. For departures, book at least three hours before the flight and dispatch confirms the departure hall.
The live position of the car sits on the My Ride page during the journey — useful when you are the one expecting a guest rather than travelling.
The same chauffeurs, a few minutes down the N44.
Ministries, embassies and the Binnenhof, fifteen minutes south — the full city hub.
The university city and its station, ten minutes north along the A44.
How we work with missions, delegations and protocol offices in the Netherlands.
A golf day in the Wassenaar woods, driven end to end.
About 32 minutes for the 45 kilometres when the A44 is clear, and the chauffeur adds a margin for the Leiden stretch in the morning peak. Business Class is €154 as one fixed all-in amount, whatever the traffic does on the day.
Yes. Give us the entrance you would give a guest and, if there is a gate code or an intercom, mention it at booking. Our chauffeurs know the lanes off the Rijksstraatweg and the Groot Haesebroek side well enough not to need directions at the door.
Regularly. Cars are unmarked and chauffeurs are used to security lodges, guest lists and set-down points that are not the main entrance. Protocol details are handled by dispatch before the day, not at the barrier — see the diplomatic chauffeur page.
Yes, and for anything over a couple of hours hourly hire is usually the better basis: from €65 an hour in Business Class, minimum two hours, with 40 kilometres included per hour. The car stays with you and the same chauffeur drives both legs.
Van Class takes up to seven passengers and seven bags with captain chairs and walk-in headroom, which is the sensible choice for Duinrell, the Slag or a family flight. Child and baby seats are €5 each and fitted before the car leaves us.
It is. The chauffeur meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name sign, the first sixty minutes of waiting after landing are free, and the car goes on to the Hague address without a second booking. A stop in Wassenaar to drop the suitcases costs nothing extra.
