I want a day trip from Amsterdam on my own. Can a female chauffeur take me?
Yes, ask for a female chauffeur on an hourly booking. Three days out work especially well alone: Zaanse Schans, Edam and Volendam is the shortest loop (about 65 km, 5 hours for €325 in Business Class); Kinderdijk's windmills are about 87 km away (6 hours, €390); Giethoorn, the village without roads, is about 116 km away and needs 7 to 8 hours (€455 to €520). The car waits at every stop, so your coat, purchases and handbag can stay locked in it.

By the hour: minimum 2 hours, 40 km included per hour, starting and ending in the same city. The chauffeur waits between stops. Prices are per car, not per person, with 9% Dutch VAT included, and the same day and night. During ADE week (pickups October 20 to 26, 2026) fixed ADE-week prices apply, shown before you book; promo codes cannot be used that week. Booked less than 12 hours before pickup: +10%. At an airport or an intercity station the first 60 minutes of waiting are free, elsewhere 15 minutes; after that waiting is charged per minute at the class's hourly rate (Business €65 an hour). Free cancellation up to 1 hour before pickup.
What is included in the price
- A fixed price confirmed at booking, with VAT included: no meter and no surge
- The chauffeur’s name, car and phone number before pickup, plus e-mail reminders 24 hours and 2 hours ahead
- Water and phone chargers (iOS and Android) in the car
- Status updates to the person who booked, if that is not the passenger: confirmed, chauffeur en route, guest in the car, arrived
The three days, compared
| Day out | One way | Book | Business Class |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam | About 20 minutes to the first stop | 5 hours | €325 |
| Kinderdijk windmills | About 1 h 30 | 6 hours | €390 |
| Giethoorn | About 1 h 40 | 7 to 8 hours | €455 to €520 |
While you're out
- The chauffeur drops you at the entrance and parks nearby; at Kinderdijk cars use the Transferium in Alblasserdam from mid-March to 1 November, with a free shuttle bus to the windmills.
- In Giethoorn the car stops at the edge of the village; the boat company you book usually says where.
A female chauffeur, on request
Ask for a female chauffeur in the booking notes or on WhatsApp. Dispatch checks which chauffeur partners are free at your date and time and confirms on WhatsApp before you pay. Your booking is final only after that confirmation.
| Price | The same fixed fare as any booking, for example €90 in Business Class from Schiphol to any Amsterdam address |
|---|---|
| Notice | The earlier the better; a few days ahead gives dispatch the widest choice |
| Classes | Business, Van and First Class |
| Before pickup | The chauffeur’s name, car and phone number, as for every ride |
