Car service
in Leiden.
Black car service in Leiden: a chauffeured Mercedes for the ride to Schiphol, the twenty minutes to The Hague, the run up to Amsterdam or the late trip home from a dinner on the Nieuwe Rijn — booked online in two minutes and priced before the door closes.
A black car, a chauffeur and a price that is known before you get in.
Car service is the ride with the ceremony taken out: a black saloon, a chauffeur in a suit who works in English, and the amount on the screen before you agree to it. No meter, no surge at ten in the evening, nothing added for paying by card. You book online without an account, settle by card, Apple Pay, iDEAL or Klarna, and firms that book every week go on account instead.
From Leiden the rides sort themselves by distance. Inside the city — Bio Science Park to a hotel on the Rapenburg, Lammenschans to Leiden Centraal, Oegstgeest to the Stadsgehoorzaal — a short ride at one fixed amount with a minimum fare. The neighbours: The Hague in about twenty minutes, Rotterdam under an hour, the brewery at Zoeterwoude just off the A4. And the two we drive most: Leiden to Schiphol at the fixed rate per class, and Leiden to Amsterdam, about forty-five minutes up the A4 to the Zuidas, the canals or the RAI.
The fleet is the black one we run across the Randstad, and in Leiden its electric half earns its keep twice a day: silent beside a canal at midnight, and quiet enough at five in the morning to leave a street in Oegstgeest asleep. In practice that means an EQE or a BMW i5 for one or two people, the EQV when seven of you travel together, an EQS or an i7 when the passenger is being received rather than merely moved — with the E-Class, the V-Class and the S-Class alongside them.
About 26 minutes via the A44 and the A4, flight tracked in both directions, from €137 per car in Business Class.
Twenty minutes to a ministry or an embassy in The Hague, under an hour to Rotterdam Centraal or the Kop van Zuid — door to door, quoted as one fixed amount.
About forty-five minutes up the A4 for a meeting on the Zuidas, a dinner on the canals or a show at the RAI — the laptop open, the luggage in the boot, and no walk from a platform at the end.
A hotel by the Pieterskerk to the Bio Science Park, De Vink to Leiden Centraal, the Lakenhal to a dinner in Oegstgeest — fixed amounts, with a minimum fare for the shortest.
A car booked for half past eleven that is at the nearest permitted corner at half past eleven, warm and already paid, for the ride back to Voorschoten or Leiderdorp.
Two ways to price a ride in Leiden: a fixed point-to-point quote, or the car by the hour.
Other addresses are quoted per kilometre as one fixed amount when you book — the price you see is the price you pay.

At /book: pickup address, destination, time and class, and the fixed price shows before you pay. No account or app; dispatch is on WhatsApp day and night for anything unusual — a wait-and-return to Zoeterwoude, a pickup on the Bio Science Park by building name, a car at four in the morning.
Short journeys sit on a minimum fare rather than on a meter, because there is no meter in the car. In Business Class anything inside 10 kilometres costs €50 and anything inside 15 costs €70; Van Class and First Class carry their own floors. Past that the ride is priced by the kilometre and shown as one all-in figure at booking.
About twenty minutes to The Hague on the A44 and the N44, and a little under an hour to Rotterdam on the A4, depending on the hour of the day. Both are quoted as one fixed amount per car, and a wait-and-return can be booked as a single ride.
Yes. Card, Apple Pay, iDEAL and Klarna all work at the moment of booking. The science park being what it is, a good share of our Leiden passengers ride on a company’s account: those are set up once and invoiced monthly.
Yes. Where the car cannot reach the door — a hotel on the Rapenburg, a house on a canal lane — the chauffeur stops at the nearest permitted point and walks the luggage to and from it. Tell us the address and we know the spot.
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.
