AIRPORT TRANSFER · LEIDEN ⇄ SCHIPHOL

Leiden to Schiphol,
door to door.

Leiden to Schiphol is about 26 minutes: the A44 north past Oegstgeest, the A4 from Burgerveen, and the departures kerb. The chauffeur version starts at your door on the Rapenburg or at a laboratory on the Bio Science Park, tracks the flight in both directions, and costs what it said it would cost when you booked.

01 / The transfer

Leiden ⇄ Schiphol, at a price that was settled before the car moved.

For a departure the chauffeur is at the door — a house in Oegstgeest, a hotel by the Pieterskerk, a lab on the Bio Science Park — at the agreed time, loads the luggage and takes the A44. Which of the three halls you need is read off your flight before the car leaves, and you are set down at its doors rather than at a kerb with a walk attached. Give the flight three hours; in the morning peak your chauffeur proposes a pickup that allows for the A4 near Hoofddorp.

An arrival is worked from the flight number. We watch it land, and the chauffeur is already standing in the hall with a board when you come through; the bags leave your hands there, and the car is in the garage closest to that hall rather than a shuttle ride away. Sixty minutes of waiting after touchdown are ours, not yours, which covers a carousel that has given up and a long line at passport control. Then the A4 south, the A44 west, and Leiden — or straight past it to Noordwijk, Katwijk, Lisse or The Hague, all as a single ride.

The transfer is priced per car in every class. A visiting scientist travels alone in Business Class for €137; a family with Naturalis tickets fills a Van Class for €178, child seats fitted on request; a board member arrives in First Class for €272. In bulb season many guests ask for a stop at Keukenhof on the way in from Schiphol, and we write it into the fixed price — see the Lisse page and our Keukenhof guide.

The chauffeur meets you at the agreed spot nearest your hotel on the Rapenburg or the Nieuwe Rijn, carries the bags to the car, and has you on the A44 before the city wakes.

Landing at Schiphol?

Your chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall, holding an iPad with your name.

We track your flight from the moment you book. The first 60 minutes after landing are included, so slow baggage costs you nothing, and your chauffeur messages you around landing. They take the luggage and walk you to the car in the Privium section at the front of P1, directly opposite the terminal — a covered walk of about two minutes. Nobody is sent upstairs to find a car at Departures.

07 / Questions, answered
Can the chauffeur collect me at a Bio Science Park building instead of Leiden Centraal?

Yes, and it is the better choice. Give the building name or the street — Darwinweg, Einsteinweg, Zernikedreef — and the chauffeur is at that entrance; the same applies to the LUMC and to Naturalis.

Does the fixed price to Leiden include a stop at Keukenhof?

Not by default — the fixed rate is for Schiphol to an address in Leiden. Tell us you want the gardens on the way and the stop, including the waiting, is priced into one fixed amount before you confirm, so there is nothing to settle in the car.

Is Oegstgeest or Voorschoten priced the same as Leiden?

Leiden itself has a fixed Schiphol rate per class. Oegstgeest, Voorschoten, Leiderdorp and Katwijk are separate towns and are quoted per kilometre — still as one fixed all-in amount shown before you pay, and with the same meet-and-greet at the airport.

How does the chauffeur find me in the arrivals hall?

Schiphol has one terminal with several arrivals halls, and we know from your flight which one you will come through. The chauffeur stands there with a sign carrying the name you chose — yours, your company’s or none — and waits from the moment the aircraft lands, with the first hour free.

We land late and want to reach Noordwijk, not Leiden — is that possible?

Yes. The chauffeur is in the hall whatever the hour, and the ride to Noordwijk, Katwijk or anywhere on the coast is quoted as one fixed amount at booking. See the Noordwijk page for that town in detail.

What happens if my flight into Schiphol is delayed?

Nothing you need to manage. We track your flight and move the pickup with it. The first sixty minutes of waiting after landing are free, and the fixed price to Leiden does not change.
