01 / What car service means here

A black car, a chauffeur and a price that is known before you get in.

Rural distance is where a fixed price earns its keep. A long ride on a meter is an unpleasant kind of suspense; here the amount appears on the screen before you confirm and does not change, whatever the road does. Taxes are included, there is no card surcharge and no surge, and the only addition in the model is ten percent when a booking is made within twelve hours of pickup.

The rides we are asked for most are the long ones: an Amsterdam hotel to the canals and back, Schiphol to a guest house in the village, Giethoorn on to Zwolle, Leeuwarden or Groningen, and the short link from Steenwijk station for guests who take the train as far as it usefully goes. All of them are quoted per kilometre as one all-in figure at booking.

The fleet is the same black one we run from Amsterdam — E-Class, EQE and BMW i5 in Business Class, V-Class and EQV for groups, S-Class, EQS and BMW i7 in First Class. Chauffeurs are professionally dressed and English-speaking, water and chargers are on board, and once a chauffeur is assigned you have a direct line to them as well as to dispatch.

02 / Rides we drive in Giethoorn
Amsterdam hotel → Giethoorn

Collected at the door, out across the polder, and back the same evening on one quote agreed before the day starts.

Giethoorn → Zwolle, Leeuwarden or Groningen

Carrying on north or south with the luggage already loaded, instead of retracing the whole route to find a connection.

Steenwijk station link

The train does the long leg, we do the part with no train: met at the station entrance and driven the last stretch to the canals.

The evening return

When the village empties there is nothing to hail; the car is at the agreed bridge, already paid for, and the drive home is the quiet part of the day.

06 / Questions, answered
How do I book a car to Giethoorn?

At amstelcab.nl/book, in two minutes: pickup address, destination, time and class, with the fixed all-in price shown before payment. No account or app is required. For a day that includes waiting and a return, message dispatch on WhatsApp and a quote for the whole itinerary comes back.

What does the ride cost?

Point-to-point rides are calculated per kilometre and presented as one fixed figure: Schiphol to Giethoorn is €445 in Business Class, €577 in Van Class and €883 in First Class, per car and taxes included. Other addresses are priced the same way at booking.

Do you serve the villages around Giethoorn as well?

Yes — the surrounding part of Steenwijkerland, the approaches to the national park and the towns on the road in are all normal pickups for us. Give the exact address, including the side of the water it is on, and the chauffeur will find it without a phone call.

Can the luggage stay in the car while we explore?

It can, and on a day trip that is the usual arrangement. The boot stays locked, the chauffeur stays with the car, and you walk the footpaths carrying nothing. It is also why guests travelling on to the north often do the village on the way rather than as a separate journey.

How is a ride in Giethoorn priced?

As one fixed all-in amount, agreed before the car moves: Schiphol transfers at a fixed rate per class, hourly hire from €65 per hour, and other point-to-point rides quoted per kilometre. Taxes are included and there is no surcharge for paying by card.
