Should I fly into Schiphol or Rotterdam The Hague Airport for the ICC?
From the US it is usually Schiphol, because Rotterdam The Hague Airport only has scheduled flights to European and Mediterranean destinations, such as London City, so getting there means a connection. By road the Court is about 43 km from Schiphol (42 minutes, about €147 per car in Business Class) and about 25 km from Rotterdam The Hague Airport (25 minutes, about €86).

When Rotterdam The Hague Airport makes sense
If you are already in Europe — London, say, after meetings there — a short flight into Rotterdam The Hague Airport lands you closer to the Court and away from Schiphol’s crowds. The ICC itself names both airports as the closest and best connected.
Flying from the US with a connection just to reach Rotterdam rarely saves time, since a direct flight to Schiphol and the drive from there usually beat a second flight and a layover. Compare the total door-to-door time, not the last leg.
Related questions
Is the meet and greet the same at Rotterdam The Hague Airport?
The standard is the same: flight tracked, a chauffeur with a name sign in the terminal, luggage carried to the car. Tell us your flight number when you book, and dispatch confirms where the chauffeur will stand.
Could I fly into Schiphol and home from Rotterdam?
Yes. Each leg is booked on its own at its own fixed price, so an open-jaw itinerary is no problem for the car side.
What about private flights?
Both airports handle business aviation; see private jet transfers at Schiphol and at Rotterdam The Hague Airport for how the chauffeur meets you there.
