Where is the official taxi stand at Schiphol?
In front of Schiphol Plaza: after the arrivals hall, follow the taxi signs and the stickers on the floor to the official stand, where taxis wait and no reservation is needed. Uber and Bolt use a separate “App pick-up point”, and a pre-booked AmstelCab chauffeur doesn’t use either — you meet inside your arrivals hall and walk about 2 minutes, under cover, to the car in the Privium section at the front of P1 (€90 to any Amsterdam address in Business Class).

What Schiphol says about its stand taxis
The registered taxi companies at the stand run on a meter tracked by the on-board computer, accept contactless payment and credit cards, are not allowed to refuse a ride, and give you a printed receipt. Schiphol’s tip: check that there is a meter, and do not use taxis offered to you without asking.
The stand in front of Schiphol Plaza is where taxis wait for arriving passengers. When you come to Schiphol by taxi to fly out, you are dropped in front of your departure hall instead.
