Eindhoven Airport to Amsterdam: should I take the train or a private car?
The airport has no train station, so the train means bus 400 or 401 to Eindhoven Central Station first and then a train to Amsterdam, which works fine with light luggage. By car it is one ride of about 124 km (77 miles), roughly 1 h 44 without traffic, from the arrivals hall to your Amsterdam address, for about €424 per car in Business Class.
