Can I Uber to places in the Netherlands that have no train station?
Usually you can get there, because cars are easy to find in and around the big cities, but the trip back is the gamble: in a village, a national park or a polder there may be no driver nearby when you want to leave, especially in the evening. A local who answered the question for a houseboat stay in Vinkeveen advised pre-booking any ride from small stations such as Abcoude or Breukelen. If your day depends on getting back, book the return in advance or keep one car for the whole day: by the hour from €65 in Business Class, with the chauffeur waiting.

By the hour: minimum 2 hours, 40 km included per hour, starting and ending in the same city. The chauffeur waits between stops. Rides outside Amsterdam are priced from the measured road distance (or a fixed route price where one applies) and shown as one fixed price before you book. Prices are per car, not per person, with 9% Dutch VAT included, and the same day and night. During ADE week (pickups October 20 to 26, 2026) fixed ADE-week prices apply, shown before you book; promo codes cannot be used that week. Booked less than 12 hours before pickup: +10%. At an airport or an intercity station 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). Free cancellation up to 1 hour before pickup.
What is included in the price
- A fixed price confirmed at booking, with VAT included: no meter and no surge
- The chauffeur’s name, car and phone number before pickup, plus e-mail reminders 24 hours and 2 hours ahead
- Water and phone chargers (iOS and Android) in the car
- Status updates to the person who booked, if that is not the passenger: confirmed, chauffeur en route, guest in the car, arrived
Three ways to be sure you get back
