An electric chauffeur service,
silent through Amsterdam.
AmstelCab runs a fully electric line-up in three of its four classes: EQE, EQE SUV, EQV, EQS, EQS SUV, BMW i5 and BMW i7. Same chauffeur, same fixed price, no engine note and no exhaust — in a city that has drawn an environmental zone inside its ring road.
Every class except the Maybach has an electric car in it.
An electric chauffeur car is on the list in three of the four classes. Business Class offers the widest choice: the Mercedes-Benz EQE saloon, the EQE SUV and the BMW i5, each for up to three passengers with three bags. Van Class has the Mercedes-Benz EQV — the electric twin of the V-Class, with the same captain chairs, walk-in headroom and seats for up to seven. First Class is the Mercedes-Benz EQS, the EQS SUV and the BMW i7: the cars we send when the rear seat matters as much as the arrival.
The Ultra class is the exception, and we would rather say so here than let you discover it in the driveway. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is not an electric car. Everything else on this page applies to the three classes above, and to the whole of Amsterdam, Schiphol and the Netherlands.
What changes in the car, and what does not.
No idle at the lights, no engine note under load. On the A10 you hear tyres and wind; in the Jordaan at walking pace you hear the city rather than the car. Calls carry, and so does a nap after a long-haul flight.
Schiphol to the Zuidas, the Museumkwartier to Centraal, a hotel on the Herengracht to the RAI: the car leaves nothing behind on the street. Inside the ring that is the whole argument.
You never see a charger. The car arrives charged, and charging between rides is planned by dispatch around the day’s bookings; the fixed price is the same whether it charged overnight or between trips.
Amsterdam’s environmental zone covers the streets inside the A10 ring road, and the city’s stated direction is towards cleaner traffic, not looser rules. We do not summarise the regulations here — they change, and they are the city’s to explain. An electric car is the one answer that does not change with them.
Different drivetrain, the same people and promises: a suited chauffeur who speaks English, water and a charger for your phone, a name sign in the Schiphol arrivals hall and a price fixed before the car moves.
A line in the travel report that needs no footnote.
Many organisations now report on the emissions of business travel, and ground transport is usually the untidy line: taxi receipts, ride-hail statements and hire cars, rarely with a vehicle named. Book under a corporate account, ask for electric on each booking, and every trip arrives on an invoice rather than in a drawer of receipts.
We put no numbers on this page, and we would be wary of anyone who does without knowing your routes. What we can say is what the car does on the trip itself: no fuel burnt, no tailpipe. How that is counted is a matter for your own reporting framework.
Booking for a guest works the same way: the person who books and the person who travels are both kept informed, from confirmation to safe arrival, so the sustainable choice is also the one nobody has to chase. A longer read is in Mercedes-Benz electric fleet: luxury and sustainability.
The same fixed prices as the rest of the class.
An electric car costs what its class costs. The Schiphol fares and hourly rates below are published; anything else is priced in full before you confirm, taxes included, per car.
Beyond the airport, every trip is one fixed all-in figure at booking, built from a per-kilometre rate: €3.42 for Business, €4.44 for Van, €6.79 for First. A pickup booked less than twelve hours ahead carries a 10% short-notice surcharge.
The electric First Class saloon in detail: the rear seat, the boot, where it shines.
The electric Business Class car most Amsterdam trips are made in.
Models, fixed prices and what is included in the entry class.
S-Class, EQS, EQS SUV and BMW i7 — the class for the rear seat.
Ask for one when you book — a line in the booking or a message on WhatsApp — and dispatch assigns an electric car whenever the schedule allows. If it cannot on your date, you hear so at confirmation rather than at the door, and you decide whether an E-Class or S-Class will do instead. We never badge a combustion car as electric.
No. Prices are set per class, not per drivetrain. An EQE is €80 to Schiphol from anywhere in Amsterdam like every Business Class car, and an EQS is €90 like every First Class car. By the hour it is €65, €80 and €100 for Business, Van and First, with the two-hour minimum that applies to every class.
Not on your side. The car arrives charged, and any charging is planned by dispatch before it leaves. If an itinerary is long enough for that to affect the schedule, we say so in the quote and you choose between the electric car and an S-Class or E-Class — never a surprise on the road.
The Mercedes-Benz EQV, the electric Van Class car: up to seven passengers, walk-in headroom, captain chairs and a boot sized for a family’s suitcases rather than a weekend bag. The saloons and SUVs carry up to three passengers with three bags.
Yes, with everything a Schiphol pickup includes: we track the flight from the moment you book, the chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, carries the bags and walks you to the car parked in the garage closest to the hall, and the first hour after landing is free waiting.
Yes. Open a corporate account, which comes with invoicing, and tell us electric is the rule for your bookings; dispatch applies it whenever the schedule allows. If the badge matters as much as the drivetrain, see the Mercedes-Benz chauffeur service page.
