The EQS SUV,
First Class with room for the fourth case.
The electric flagship on a taller body: the same three rear seats and the same fixed €90 to Schiphol, with a boot that takes one bag more than anything else in the class.
Height, and one more case in the back.
Two things separate the EQS SUV from the saloon it shares a name with. The first is the way you get in: the seat meets you at standing height, so a guest in a long coat steps across rather than drops down, and steps out the same way at a hotel entrance on the Apollolaan with nobody offering a hand under the elbow. The second is the boot, which takes four pieces of luggage where the rest of First Class stops at three.
Everything else is the class as it always is. Three passengers on the rear seat, water and charging cables within reach of the armrest, a chauffeur in a suit who speaks English, and an electric drivetrain that keeps the cabin quiet from the Nassaukade to the A9. It is the car we send when a family of three lands with winter luggage, or when a photographer, a violinist or a golfer arrives with one piece too many for a saloon.
A word about the pictures on this page. There is no photograph of our own EQS SUV in the library yet, so the hero shot and the first two gallery images show the EQS saloon, and the third shows the S-Class cabin. They are the SUV’s siblings in First Class, on the same price list, photographed on other days.
Three across the rear seat, with the step-in height that suits long coats, stiff knees and short skirts.
Four pieces — the one place in First Class where a fourth case does not force a second car.
Fixed from any Amsterdam address; €140 on the way back, with the chauffeur meeting you inside arrivals.
The extra bag costs nothing. First Class is priced per car and taxes included, and the SUV shares the list with the S-Class, the EQS and the i7.
The arithmetic that sinks most airport bookings works here: three people, four pieces, one car, €90 to Schiphol and €140 back, with the chauffeur carrying them from the hall to the garage.
A taller seat is a small courtesy that gets noticed — by an older guest, by someone travelling after surgery, by anyone stepping out in front of a hotel doorman on the Herengracht.
Hoge Veluwe, the bulb fields around Lisse, the dunes at Zuid-Kennemerland: a day of Dutch roads with luggage, coats and a picnic still fitting in the back, quoted as one fixed price.
Cruise luggage is the heavy kind. From the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam on the IJ, or out to the quay at IJmuiden, the fourth case rides with you rather than behind you.
One First Class list for four models. Per car, taxes included, fixed at booking.
Booking inside 12 hours of pickup adds 10%. Free cancellation up to an hour before; child and baby seats €5 each, fitted before the car leaves.
The everyday workhorse: sedans for one to three passengers.
Room for groups, families and luggage, with up to seven seats.
The pinnacle: Mercedes-Maybach, by request only.
The saloon version: same class, same price, three bags instead of four.
The electric SUV one class down, in Business Class at €80 to Schiphol.
The class page: what the four flagships share and where they differ.
The full electric line-up and what it means inside the city’s environmental zone.
Two things: a fourth piece of luggage and a seat you step across into rather than down into. Passenger capacity is the same at three, the class is the same, and so is every price. If your luggage fits in three pieces and nobody minds a low seat, the saloon does the same job.
No. First Class is priced per car, so the SUV goes to Schiphol for the same fixed €90 and comes back for €140 whether the boot holds one case or four. The only surcharges that exist anywhere are the 10% for booking within twelve hours of pickup and €5 for a child or baby seat.
Because we would rather show you a real car than a brochure render. The library has no session with our own EQS SUV in it yet, so this page borrows the EQS saloon and the S-Class — its siblings in First Class, on the same list, with the same rear-seat standard. Each caption says which car you are looking at.
It works well: three seats, four bags, and a door height that makes lifting a child in and out easier than a saloon does. Child and baby seats are €5 each and are fitted before the chauffeur leaves for you, so tell us the ages when you book rather than at the kerb.
Ask for it in the booking notes and dispatch will roster it if the day allows; we confirm a class rather than a model. Set the pickup at least three hours before departure, book more than twelve hours ahead to avoid the short-notice surcharge, and the price is fixed the moment you confirm.
