Zwolle,
the Hanseatic city, by chauffeur.
A Hanseatic city on the IJssel with a star-shaped moat around its centre and the rail lines of the whole north-east converging on its station. Zwolle to Schiphol is 105 kilometres of A28 and A1; with a chauffeur it is an hour and a bit in which the bags, the change at Amersfoort and the taxi rank at the far end stop being your concern.
Zwolle, without the parking, the meter or the wait.
Zwolle is where the north-east of the country changes trains. Intercities from Groningen, Leeuwarden, Enschede and Emmen meet the lines to Amsterdam and Utrecht under the station roof, and the A28 carries the same traffic past the city’s western edge. For our chauffeurs it is also the point where a Schiphol run becomes a proper journey: 105 kilometres, most of it motorway, past Harderwijk and Amersfoort and round the south of Amsterdam to the airport.
The people who book us in Zwolle rarely want just a ride. They are surgeons and visiting specialists at the Isala hospital, executives at Hessenpoort and Voorsterpoort, guests of the Museum de Fundatie, and families with a Giethoorn day or a Veluwe week that starts at Schiphol with three suitcases and a pushchair. A car with a chauffeur turns all of that into one door-to-door movement at a price that was known when it was booked.
The centre, inside the moat, is compact and largely traffic-free. The Sassenpoort, the Grote Kerk and the streets around the Grote Markt are best approached from the ring around the old fortifications, and our chauffeurs know the drop-off points at the edge of the pedestrian zone — and how far it really is to a hotel in the Sassenstraat with luggage.

The Hanseatic centre inside the star-shaped moat: the Grote Kerk, the Grote Markt, the Sassenpoort and the hotels and restaurants of the Sassenstraat and the Melkmarkt, served from the ring road around the old walls.
The rail hub of the north-east and the old neighbourhood beside it — where guests arriving from Groningen or Leeuwarden switch to a car for the airport, Amsterdam or the Veluwe.
The regional hospital on the south side of the city: visiting consultants, families and conference guests, with pickups timed to ward rounds and flights.
The large business park on the north-east edge beside the A28, minutes from the motorway — an office pickup here is on the road to Schiphol almost immediately.
The office and retail area on the west side between the centre and the A28 — our usual first stop on a day of meetings in Zwolle.

About 68 minutes on a clear road — the A28 south to Amersfoort, the A1 west and the A9 round the south of Amsterdam. In the morning peak the A28 near Harderwijk and Nijkerk and the A1 towards Diemen both slow, so your chauffeur proposes a pickup time that allows for it.
Zwolle to Schiphol is a fixed €359 in Business Class, €466 in Van Class and €713 in First Class, per car and including taxes. Hourly hire inside Zwolle is €65 an hour in Business Class with a two-hour minimum; other rides — to Amsterdam, Groningen or Giethoorn — are quoted as one fixed amount when you book.
At the edge of it, as close as the traffic rules allow. The streets inside the moat are mostly for pedestrians and residents, so your chauffeur uses the drop-off points on the ring around the old walls and walks the luggage the last part to hotels in the Sassenstraat or on the Melkmarkt.
Every week. Visiting specialists, patients’ relatives and conference guests are collected at Schiphol with a name sign and driven to the entrance you name at Isala — not the visitor car park — and back again when the day is done.
Yes, and it is one of the most requested days we drive here. Giethoorn is about 35 kilometres to the north, so we book it as hourly hire from Zwolle or as one fixed quote for the round trip, with the chauffeur waiting while you take a boat through the village.
