A private driver across Europe,
from your own front door.

Brussels before lunch, Frankfurt by the afternoon, Paris for dinner, London through the tunnel — one chauffeur, one car and one all-in quote from your address in Amsterdam or the arrivals hall at Schiphol to wherever the trip ends.

01 / How it works

One car, one quote, and no handovers between here and there.

A European trip with a private driver from AmstelCab is booked like any other ride: an address to leave from, an address to arrive at, a date and a time. The difference is the distance and what sits inside the price. The quote we confirm covers the car, the chauffeur, fuel, every motorway toll and vignette on the way and all taxes — one figure for the whole car, whether one person travels or seven. It does not move on the day. A coffee stop or an extra suitcase adds nothing; a longer stop or a detour past a client is built into the quote when you mention it at booking.

Most of these routes are quicker than they look on a map once the airport is taken out of the equation, and all of them are calmer. You work, call or sleep; the chauffeur handles the border, the tolls and the parking. Same-day round trips, evening returns and multi-day itineraries with the same car are quoted individually, and a one-way is exactly that — we drive you there and the car comes home empty.

One fixed all-in quote, taxes and tolls included, per car rather than per seat
One-way, return or multi-day with the same chauffeur — you choose at booking
Stops wherever you like: a lunch in the Ardennes, a meeting in Antwerp, a photograph in Cologne
Departures from Schiphol arrivals with the flight tracked and a name sign in the hall
Business, Van or First Class; the Mercedes-Maybach by arrangement
02 / Borders and paperwork

What changes at the border, and what does not.

Schengen: no routine checks, but carry ID

Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland and Italy are in the Schengen Area with the Netherlands, and Monaco is reached by road through France. Schengen means checks at these borders are not routine, not that they never happen: keep a passport or ID card within reach, and non-EU travellers should look up the entry rules for their own nationality before the trip.

Tolls and vignettes, all in the quote

Belgian, German and Luxembourg motorways charge cars nothing. France tolls most of its autoroutes at péage barriers, Switzerland requires a motorway vignette and Italy tolls its autostrade. Every one of these is inside your fixed price; you will never see a toll receipt.

London, through the tunnel

The car crosses on the Eurotunnel shuttle from Calais with you in it — around thirty-five minutes under the Channel to Folkestone. The United Kingdom is outside Schengen, so everyone in the car needs a passport, and your chauffeur drives on the left from the moment the shuttle doors open.

Overnight and further

For Munich, Zurich, Lyon and beyond, a late arrival or an overnight stop on the way is often the better plan. Tell us the whole itinerary and dispatch prices it as one arrangement — the car stays with you, and the return leg is agreed before you leave.

03 / From enquiry to arrival

Four steps, and not one of them is a queue.

01
Send the itinerary

Book online at /book or send addresses, dates and passenger count on WhatsApp. Mention stops, a return leg or an overnight and we build them in.

02
Receive one fixed quote

Dispatch confirms the price for the whole car — tolls, vignettes, fuel and taxes included — and the class of vehicle. Pay by card, Apple Pay, iDEAL or Klarna, or on a corporate account.

03
Depart from your door

The chauffeur arrives at the agreed minute, loads the luggage and leaves. On a Schiphol departure the flight is tracked and the chauffeur waits in arrivals with a name sign.

04
Arrive, or turn round

You are dropped at the exact address. If a return is booked, the same chauffeur is waiting at the time you set; on a one-way, the car heads home and your booker gets the safely-arrived update.

10 / Questions, answered
What does a European quote include?

The car, the chauffeur, fuel, all motorway tolls and vignettes, and taxes — from the address you give us to the address you are going to. It is one price for the whole car, agreed before departure, with no meter and no surcharge for paying by card. Stops you mention at booking are built in; short unplanned stops cost nothing extra.

Do we need passports to leave the Netherlands by car?

Carry a passport or ID card on every route. Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland and Italy share the Schengen Area with the Netherlands, and Monaco is entered through France, so checks at those borders are not routine — but they are not impossible either. The United Kingdom is outside Schengen: for London, everyone in the car needs a passport.

Can you collect us at Schiphol and drive straight abroad?

Yes. Book with the flight number and we track the aircraft, meet you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, help with the luggage and leave for Brussels, Cologne, Paris or wherever you are heading from the garage nearest the hall. The first sixty minutes after landing are free waiting time, so a slow luggage belt costs nothing.

How do you handle very long routes such as Nice, Milan or Bordeaux?

We plan them with you. Some guests prefer one long day with proper breaks; many prefer an overnight stop in a city on the way, and the same car and chauffeur continue the next morning. Either way the whole itinerary is quoted as one fixed arrangement, so you know the total before you leave Amsterdam.

Is a return trip cheaper than two one-ways?

It is quoted as its own arrangement rather than as two one-ways added together, because whether the chauffeur waits, stays overnight or drives back and returns later changes the figure. Send both dates on WhatsApp and dispatch puts one price on the round trip next to the one-way price, so you can compare before you decide.

Which car should we choose for a long drive?

Business Class for up to three people who want a quiet working cabin; First Class when the rear seats matter for eight hours as much as for one; Van Class for four to seven travellers, trade-fair material or serious luggage. The Mercedes-Maybach travels abroad by arrangement only — send your date and we confirm availability and a price.
