Ground transportation

The airport offers train, bus, taxi and car rental services. The railway station is located directly beneath Schiphol Plaza, the public area connecting arrivals, departures and ground transportation. Trains are usually the fastest option for reaching Amsterdam Centraal, while bus 397 is convenient for destinations such as Museumplein and Leidseplein.

The official taxi rank is located outside Schiphol Plaza. Follow the Taxi signs from the arrivals area. Licensed taxis use meters and accept card payments.

Ride-hailing services such as Uber and Bolt use a separate designated collection area, signposted as the App pick-up point. Taxis provide a convenient door-to-door option, particularly when travelling with luggage, although they are generally more expensive than public transportation.

Schiphol Airport railway station is located directly beneath Schiphol Plaza and can be reached by escalators and lifts. Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) trains connect the airport with Amsterdam Centraal in approximately 15–17 minutes, with additional services to Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague and other Dutch cities. International rail connections are also available.

For domestic trains, passengers can buy tickets from station machines or use a compatible contactless bank card or mobile device, checking in and out at the designated readers. International services may require separate tickets.

Bus stops are located outside Schiphol Plaza, near the ground transportation entrances. The Amsterdam Airport Express 397 connects the airport with Museumplein and Leidseplein, while the N97 night bus provides a similar connection overnight.

Regional buses also serve Haarlem, Leiden and other nearby towns, alongside hotel and parking shuttle services. The airport bus station is undergoing redevelopment, so some stops may be temporarily relocated. Follow the signs at the airport for the correct departure point.

Car rental desks are located in Schiphol Plaza. Follow the Car Rental signs from arrivals. Companies operating at the airport include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt. After completing the rental formalities, staff will direct you to the appropriate vehicle collection area.

When returning a rental vehicle, follow the Car Rental Return road signs rather than entering the general passenger car parks.

📦 Distinctive feature

Schiphol combines a large interconnected terminal complex with a railway station directly beneath Schiphol Plaza, providing domestic and international train connections.
