Across the city,
one fixed price at a time.
Centraal to the hotel, the hotel to a meeting on the Zuidas, the restaurant back to the apartment at midnight. A black Mercedes-Benz at the door at the agreed minute, a chauffeur who knows which canal bridge is open, and a price fixed before the car moves rather than read off a meter.
A taxi ride, done the way a chauffeur does it.
Most rides in Amsterdam are short: five kilometres from Centraal to a hotel on the Museumplein, eight from the Jordaan to the RAI, twelve from the Zuidas out to a dinner in Noord. A city transfer is exactly that ride, booked in advance for a fixed price, with a chauffeur who waits at the agreed spot instead of a car that may or may not turn up. Nothing is charged per minute, nothing changes when the Stadhouderskade jams, and nobody argues about a card fee at the end.
The price is worked out from the published per-kilometre rate and shown before you confirm, with a minimum for the very short hops so that a two-kilometre ride is still worth sending a Mercedes-Benz for. Book online in a minute, no account and no app, or send the two addresses on WhatsApp and dispatch replies with the figure.
Station, hotel, RAI, Zuidas, restaurant, home.
Off the train from Brussels, Paris or Schiphol and into a car rather than the rank. At Centraal the pickup is on the IJ side, at Amsterdam Zuid by the Zuidplein or Mahlerplein exit; the booking tells the chauffeur which train you are on and you get a message when the car is in place.
The morning run from a canal hotel to the halls on the Europaplein or an office on the Gustav Mahlerlaan, booked the night before with a fixed time and a fixed price, and the return at the end of the day booked in the same message.
A table in De Pijp or on the Amstel, and a car at the door at eleven rather than a search for one in the rain. Book the return when you book the table; the chauffeur is there at the agreed time and dispatch moves it if dessert runs long.
A visiting client, a speaker, a friend in from abroad. You book, they ride, and you both receive the status messages: confirmed, chauffeur en route, guest in the car, safely arrived. The guest needs no app and no account, and neither do you.
A child to a school in Oud-Zuid or a parent to an appointment at the OLVG or Amsterdam UMC. Child and baby seats on request at €5 each, a chauffeur who walks to the door, and a message to you when they are safely there.
City transfers do not stop at the ring. Amstelveen, Diemen, Zaandam and Haarlem are quoted the same way, per kilometre as one fixed amount, and the car comes to your door wherever that is.
Per kilometre, with a floor for the short hops.
City rides are priced from the published per-kilometre rate and shown as one fixed amount before you confirm. On short rides the minimum fare applies instead; airport transfers have their own fixed prices and never touch these figures.
Taxes included, no meter, no surge and no card surcharge. A ride booked within 12 hours of pickup carries a 10% short-notice surcharge. The Mercedes-Maybach is quoted on WhatsApp for anything other than the airport run.
From two addresses to a car at the door.
On the booking page or in a WhatsApp message. The price appears before you confirm; for a guest, add their name and number so the updates reach them too.
You receive the confirmation with the fixed price, the class and the pickup time. Cancellation is free up to one hour before, so a change of plan costs nothing if you tell us in time.
A message when the car sets off and a My Ride link with its live position, so you walk out when it is round the corner rather than stand on the pavement.
The chauffeur meets you at the agreed spot, loads the bags, drives the ride and confirms arrival. The booker gets the same message when the ride was for someone else.
What a city transfer is, and what it is not.
The city page: districts, roads and where the cars wait, from the Jordaan to Zuidoost.
The same city rides on a monthly invoice, booked by an assistant for the whole team.
When there are three or four stops in an evening, a car by the hour from €65 beats separate rides.
Airport runs, hourly hire and long distance, all from the same dispatch desk.
From €50 in Business Class for rides up to 10 kilometres and €70 up to 15, with Van Class at €70 and €100 and First Class at €90 and €120 on the same tiers. Longer rides are priced per kilometre, €3.42 in Business Class, and always shown as one fixed amount before you confirm. Taxes are included and there is no meter.
For the very shortest hops, usually not: the minimum fare is the price of sending a chauffeured Mercedes-Benz to a door at a set time. What you buy is certainty: a car that is there when you said, a price agreed in advance, and a chauffeur who carries the bags and is still there if the train is late.
Yes, and it is one of the most common city bookings: a guest, a client, a parent. Add their name and mobile number and both of you receive the updates, from confirmation to chauffeur en route to safely arrived, with a direct line to dispatch if anything needs changing. The guest does not need an account or an app.
On the IJ side of the station, where cars can stop, unless you ask for a different spot. The booking notes which train you are on, the chauffeur messages when the car is in place, and you walk straight through the station to it. For Amsterdam Zuid, tell us whether you are leaving by the Zuidplein or the Mahlerplein exit.
Call or message dispatch; the line is answered around the clock. A car at short notice is often possible in the city, and a booking made within 12 hours of pickup carries a 10% short-notice surcharge and nothing else. If we cannot make the time, we say so rather than send a car late.
Child and baby seats are fitted on request at €5 each; say the age when you book. For a wheelchair or a walking frame, tell us whether it folds and dispatch plans the right car: a Business Class boot takes a folded chair, and a Van Class has the space and the headroom when it does not fold.
