Frequently asked questions
Airport
What are your pick up procedures from Schiphol?
When you make a booking through the website you can pass on the requested information to us. It is important to give a flight number, so we can keep an eye on the flight. If the flight is delayed or moved forward, we will take this into account and will not charge you extra. If you have landed, our driver will contact you to confirm the pick-up location (above) with you.
If you do not want to go to the trouble, you can use our meet & greet service. You can indicate this in the comments. If you also specify whether you want to be picked up at the arrival hall or meeting point, we will make this happen for you.
I have a delay after landing, what now?
After landing of your flight you have up to 1 hour and 10 minutes to meet the driver. After this there will be a waiting period which will be announced to you in advance. Do you need longer time or do you have a valid reason? Please contact us as soon as possible so we can discuss this with you.
How far in advance do I need to be at the airport?
This varies from flight to flight and is mainly determined by your final destination. We recommend that you arrive at the airport at least two hours in advance.
In the busier vacation periods this can rise to three hours at the larger airports. Always check with your airline to be sure.
Can I also be picked up at the airport?
Of course. Our rates to and from the airport are exactly the same.
Where can I find the meeting point at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport?
When you or your guests and associates arrive at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, they often have trouble getting to the Meeting Point. It is also difficult to find your way around such a large and busy airport. The best way to quickly meet your driver is to walk after the last customs checkpoint (do you still have something to declare?) directly to the meeting point (direction trains) in the central hall (Schiphol Plaza). There is only one Meeting Point at the airport, so this is the place to meet our drivers.
You can find the Meeting Point in the central hall of Schiphol Plaza opposite the NS ticket offices and right next to train platform 1. You can also follow the black road signs with yellow letters in the direction of Meeting Point. If you do not wish to search for Meeting Point, you can indicate in the remarks that you wish to be met in the Arrivals Hall (meet & greet service).
My flight has been delayed or is arriving much earlier, what now?
If your flight is delayed or arrives early, we will take this into account and will not charge you any extra costs. It is therefore important to provide us with a flight number in advance.
Do you also offer a pick-up service with a nameplate?
You can use our meet & greet service (€20 surcharge on top of the fixed price). Our driver will be waiting for you or your guests with a nameplate. The pick-up location will be at the meeting point or arrival hall depending on your wishes. In addition, our driver will also offer you assistance up to the car.
Do you also have a flat rate for rides to and from airports?
We offer a flat rate to and from all airports. For more information, please look at airport transportation. Is an airport or your location not listed? Then please contact us and we will confirm the price with you. Please note: to be eligible for a fixed price, it is important to inform us in advance.
Changes
I would like to make a change, what now?
You should contact us as soon as possible via the contact options on our website and we will discuss the possibilities with you.
We have to pass several routes on the way, is that possible?
Yes, this is possible. You can tell us in advance or tell our driver during the trip.
My cell phone is broken, what should I do?
Because we call you after landing, it is good to give us a second number. If the phones are still not working, please call us from a pay phone as soon as possible after landing.
We need to pick up more people along the way, is that possible?
Yes, that is possible, but you will have to provide us with all the stopovers for a correct price calculation.
Extras
Do the cabs have a child seat?
The cabs are not standard equipped with a child seat. It is therefore important to let us know in advance. It is also possible to bring your own child seat.
Can I bring my bicycle or other large items?
This is possible in some cases. It is therefore important to let us know in advance.

General questions
Do you use a navigation system?
Yes, all our drivers have a navigation system in the cab. Often they do not need one, because Euro Business Taxi drivers have a very good knowledge of the streets. Do you have a different route in mind? Then you can tell our driver in advance.

Do you like to travel in style? Euro Business Taxi also offers luxury transport! Use the quotation form to request a car according to your wishes.
How long does it take for the cab to arrive?
The time depends on the location where the driver comes from.
If you have made a reservation in advance, the cab will arrive at the requested time. If you have reserved a cab for as soon as possible, we will send the nearest available cab to you immediately.
On average you will not wait longer than 5 to 10 minutes for an ad hoc reservation within Amsterdam. Outside Amsterdam we always try to send a driver within 15 minutes. In abnormal weather conditions, at night, during rush hour and if all our drivers are further away, it may take a little longer for your cab to arrive.

Our drivers are active in all places of the Netherlands and if required they can also come to different parts of Belgium, Germany, France etc.
