Can I have a driver on standby between RAI Amsterdam and meetings in Zuidas?
Yes — book the car by the hour: €65 an hour in Business Class or €100 in First Class, minimum 2 hours with 40 km included per hour, and the car waits nearby between stops. Zuidas is next door to the RAI — the World Trade Center area is about 3 km by road — so a day of sessions and bank meetings uses only a fraction of the included kilometers; an 8-hour Business Class day is €520.
