Taxi from Schiphol to The Hague — Everything You Need to Know

By Team GoEuroTaxi·

A pre-booked taxi from Schiphol (AMS) to The Hague (Den Haag) takes about 45 minutes and costs from around €80 all-in. The drive is roughly 50 km on the A4, dropping you at your office, embassy or hotel — handy for the international and government-affairs crowd that travels into The Hague constantly.

How much does it cost?

Typical pre-booked fixed fares are €80–€90 for a sedan and €105–€125 for a minivan/8-seater. Luggage, tolls and VAT are included; the price is locked before you pay.

Journey time and route

The drive is Schiphol → A4 south → Prins Clausplein → A12 west into the city. Outside rush hour you're in central The Hague in about 40 minutes. Morning and evening peak on the A4 around Leiden can add 15 minutes; weekends are usually faster.

For drop-offs in Scheveningen (the beach district), allow 5–10 extra minutes for the run through the city.

Common destinations

  • International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (Peace Palace).

  • Embassies and consulates — the World Forum, Statenkwartier and Zorgvliet neighbourhoods.

  • Den Haag Centraal Station / HS Station.

  • Scheveningen beach and Kurhaus.

  • World Forum Convention Centre — for international conferences.

  • Binnenhof — Dutch parliament and Mauritshuis.

Train vs taxi

Schiphol to Den Haag Centraal by train is fast (~30 min direct) and inexpensive for a single traveller. The taxi case is strongest when you're:

  • Going to a specific address (embassy, ministry, hotel) rather than the station.

  • Travelling in a group of 3 or more.

  • Arriving with luggage or sensitive equipment.

  • Landing late at night when train frequency drops.

Why this route matters for business travel

The Hague hosts the Dutch government, the international courts, embassies, and a constant flow of NGO and policy events. A reliable, fixed-fare transfer with flight tracking removes the two biggest pain points: missing meetings when flights are delayed, and the meter running while you fight A4 traffic.
