VIP meet & greet
at Schiphol.
Clear the doors of the arrivals hall and your name is already waiting — a professionally dressed chauffeur, your flight tracked, your luggage handled. With AmstelCab this is not an upgrade. It is how every airport pickup begins.
From the jet bridge to the back seat, accounted for.
Many operators sell arrival assistance as a supplement. We think the walk through arrivals is part of the ride — so it is simply included, at the same fixed transfer prices you see when you book. Here is the sequence, every time.
From the moment you book, we monitor your flight number. Wheels-down at Schiphol sets everything else in motion — early, late or rescheduled, the pickup follows the plane.
Your chauffeur is already in the arrivals hall when you clear the doors, holding a sign with your name. No pickup zone to hunt for, no phone calls in a crowd.
The trolley is your chauffeur’s problem now. You walk; the bags follow. If a case has gone missing in transit, the free hour of waiting gives you time to sort it out with the airline.
The car is parked in the garage closest to your arrivals hall — a short indoor walk, not a hike across the airport. Chilled water and chargers are already on board.
When it is your first time through Schiphol, the difference between a good and a bad start is the first ten minutes. A familiar name in the crowd settles the whole trip.
See how transfers work →Assistants book it because it removes every variable they would otherwise have to manage from another time zone. One confirmation, one name sign, one message when the guest is in the car.
Corporate & assistants →When a delegation lands with equipment as well as luggage, we pair the meet & greet with the V-Class — seven seats, seven bags, one chauffeur marshalling it all through arrivals.
Van class →Included is not a tier. It is the standard.
There is no meet & greet line on your invoice, because there is no meet & greet fee. The fixed price you book is the whole arrangement — hall to back seat.
The greeting sets the tone. The car keeps it.
For arrivals that matter, pair the meet & greet with First Class — a Mercedes S-Class and the quietest seat at the airport. For the occasions above even that, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class waits in the same garage, at a fixed Schiphol rate.
Your own name, a company name, or nothing identifying at all — tell us when you book and that is what your chauffeur holds up in the hall.
Flight monitoring starts the moment your booking is confirmed, not the morning of travel. Reschedules and delays reach dispatch before they reach you.
Cancel free of charge up to one hour before pickup, or change the details by replying to your confirmation or messaging us on WhatsApp.
Your chauffeur holds an iPad showing your name — or your company’s name, or none at all — rather than a sheet of paper. It is the same sign every time, so you know what to look for.
Around landing your chauffeur messages or calls the number in your booking, so you both know where the other is before you have even cleared the doors — no scanning a crowded hall.
Schiphol assigns every arriving flight an arrivals hall and publishes it in its live flight information. Dispatch reads it, and your chauffeur stands at the doors of that hall as you come through customs.
Your car waits in the Privium section at the front of P1, the car park directly opposite the terminal — a covered walk of about two minutes from the arrivals halls, never a search through a crowded public garage. Years of Schiphol pickups taught us to park there.
Slow baggage, a fault on the belts, a visit to the lost-luggage desk: your chauffeur waits. The first sixty minutes after landing are included; a longer wait is charged per minute at the hourly rate of your class, and if it outlasts one chauffeur, dispatch sends a replacement so someone is holding your name when you come through.
Arriving by private jet instead? Schiphol East has no arrivals hall to meet in — the arrangement works differently, and better. See private jet transfers.
Two very different things are sold under the same name at Schiphol. Only one of them is a meet & greet.
The booking said meet & greet. After landing, the driver calls with instructions: leave the arrivals hall, go up one floor to Departures, walk out of the terminal, cross the road and look for the car on the lane in front of Departures 3 — the Kiss & Ride drop-off lane for departing passengers, where cars may only stop for a moment. With luggage, after a long flight, you are now searching a moving line of cars for one you have never seen.
Your chauffeur is inside your arrivals hall before you come through the doors, holding an iPad with your name. They take the luggage and you walk together — a covered two minutes to the car in Privium parking at the front of P1, directly opposite the terminal. Nobody is sent upstairs, outside or across a road, on any pickup, in any class. That is what meet & greet means here, and it is included in every airport price.
We describe the first version because it happens often enough at Schiphol to be worth knowing about before you book. With AmstelCab, the meet & greet you were promised is the one you get.
No. Every AmstelCab airport pickup includes meet & greet: your chauffeur inside the arrivals hall with a name sign, flight tracking and sixty minutes of free waiting. It is how we do airport work, not an add-on.
You recognise them first — a professionally dressed chauffeur holding a sign with the name you gave when booking. If you would prefer a company name or no name at all on the sign, tell us when you book.
Message or call our dispatch on WhatsApp — the line is staffed 24/7 and answers in English. We know exactly where your chauffeur is standing and will bring the two of you together within minutes.
The first sixty minutes of waiting after your flight lands are free, which covers most queues at Schiphol. Your chauffeur stays in the hall the entire time; if the wait runs past the free hour, it is charged per minute at the hourly rate of your class.
Your flight number tells us. We track the flight through to landing, and your chauffeur waits in the hall your flight actually feeds into — if the airline changes it, dispatch adjusts before you clear the doors.
Your chauffeur waits, and stays in touch on the number in your booking. The first sixty minutes after landing are included; a longer wait is charged per minute at the hourly rate of your class, and if it outlasts one chauffeur, dispatch sends a replacement so that someone is standing in the hall with your name when you finally come through. You never have to join the taxi queue.
A covered walk of about two minutes. Your car waits in Privium parking at the front of P1, the car park directly opposite the terminal, and your chauffeur walks you there with the luggage — you are never sent to find a car in a busy garage.
No — never, on any pickup, in any class. Your chauffeur is inside your arrivals hall with an iPad showing your name and walks you to the car in Privium parking at the front of P1, a covered two minutes away. Should anyone ever ask you to come and find a car at Departures, call dispatch straight away: that is not how an AmstelCab pickup works.
