RAI AMSTERDAM · DROP-OFF BY CAR

Can a car drop me right at the RAI entrance?

Not at the hall entrances: RAI Amsterdam says you cannot drive to the entrance, but a car may let you out at Lodge P7, in the middle of the complex (follow the signs P – RAI 7), and then leave the site again. That is where an AmstelCab chauffeur sets you down — from Schiphol at the fixed €90 in Business Class — and if you need to be collected later, agree the pickup point when you book.

Prices are per car, not per person, with 9% Dutch VAT included, and the same day and night. Booked less than 12 hours before pickup: +10%. At Schiphol 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).

A chauffeured arrival at the RAI

  1. Tell us your hall or entrance. So you know which way to walk from the drop-off.
  2. Set down at Lodge P7. In the middle of the complex; the chauffeur hands you your bags there.
  3. Walk to your hall. The RAI’s floor plan shows the entrances and hall numbers.
  4. Pickup later? Agree the point and time at booking; the chauffeur messages before arriving.

Related questions

Why can’t a taxi stop at the RAI’s main doors?

The RAI routes cars through its own site: passengers are let out at Lodge P7 and the car leaves again, rather than stopping at the entrances.

Is Lodge P7 far from the halls?

It is in the middle of the complex, as the RAI describes it; the walking distance to your hall depends on which entrance your event uses.

What if walking from P7 is difficult for me?

The RAI lends wheelchairs on reservation (free, with a €50 cash deposit) and has level corridors and lifts; see accessible transport to the RAI.
