Planning a proposal or anniversary at Keukenhof — how do we make the day special?
Choose the first or the last hours of the day, when the paths are quietest, and arrive in a First Class car, €100 an hour, with the Mercedes-Maybach available on request, so the drive is part of the occasion. Keukenhof’s last day in 2027, Sunday, May 9, 2027, is also Mother’s Day in the US. If a professional photographer is coming to capture the moment, ask Keukenhof first: its rules require permission for professional shoots.

Minimum 2 hours, starting and ending in Amsterdam; a 6-hour day in First Class is €600. The Mercedes-Maybach by the hour is on request and confirmed individually; from Schiphol to Amsterdam it is a fixed €250. Prices are per car, not per person, with 9% Dutch VAT included, and the same day and night. During ADE week (pickups October 20–26, 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.
Timing the moment
| Idea | When | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Early light over a tulip field, then the gardens | Pickup about 6:30am; Keukenhof at 8am | The fields before anyone else, then the park’s quietest hour |
| A late visit and dinner | Arrival around 3:30pm, out at closing | The park thins out; dinner in Lisse or Haarlem, then about 42 minutes back to Amsterdam |
| Mother’s Day | Sunday, May 9, 2027 | The final day of the 2027 season; expect it to be busy |
Keukenhof is open daily 8am to 7pm, last entry 6:15pm. The pickup times are our suggestion, not a measurement.
What we can and cannot arrange
We drive: the car class you choose at the hour you choose, a professionally dressed chauffeur who waits out of sight, the sign at Schiphol with whatever name you want on it, and stops at the tulip fields on the way. Decorations and drinks beyond water are not part of the service, and the restaurant and any photographer are yours to book; tell dispatch your plan and the car is timed around it.
Related questions
Can you propose at Keukenhof?
Nothing in Keukenhof’s rules stands in the way of a quiet question on a bench; what needs permission is a professional photo or film shoot. For privacy, go early, late or on a weekday.
Can we arrive at Keukenhof in a Maybach?
Yes, on request: the Mercedes-Maybach is confirmed individually by dispatch rather than booked instantly, so ask early for a spring date. First Class, an S-Class, EQS or BMW i7, can be booked online straight away.
Is Keukenhof open on Mother’s Day 2027?
Yes: US Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 9, 2027, is the final day of the season, with the usual hours. Book the tickets and the car well ahead.
