By car
To reach Schiphol airport from Amsterdam centre by car, you'll want to follow the A4 highway for approximately 15 kilometres. Make sure to allow plenty of time for traffic, as the route can be quite busy during peak hours. Once you arrive at the airport, there is a dedicated SHARE NOW parking available at WTC Parking on Level -2, Row 99/98. So you can easily park your car and get on with your trip. Safe travels!
Car-sharing
Driving a car is a great way to get to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. By using a car-sharing service, you don't have to worry about finding parking and the high costs of leaving your car parked at the airport for an extended period of time. With SHARE NOW, you can also easily find a car near you and return it to a designated drop-off spot at the airport. This is a convenient and cost-effective option, especially if you travel with friends and family or have a lot of luggage. For a hassle-free ride to the airport, it's worth considering booking your car in advance with SHARE NOW.
Train
To get to Schiphol Airport by train from Amsterdam city centre, you can take the train from Amsterdam Centraal Station. The Dutch Railways (NS) operates trains that go from Amsterdam Centraal to Schiphol Airport and depart every 15 minutes. The total journey takes around 13 minutes including transfers, but of course, trains are often very crowded, especially at peak travel times. Keep in mind there might not always be plenty of room for luggage, and you might end up taking a later train due to crowds. Tickets can be bought at the ticket machine in Amsterdam Centraal, and prices range from 6 € to 16 €.
Bus
Bus 397 is an express line that departs from downtown Amsterdam to Schiphol Airport, and you’ll have the chance to hop on at some of the city’s main landmark areas, such as Leidseplein or Rijksmuseum. Keep in mind that bus drivers won’t accept cash to buy your ticket on the bus, so it’s best to just buy a ticket in advance. The drive from the city centre to Schiphol Airport usually takes about 30–40 minutes, depending on traffic. The bus service runs 24/7, but between midnight and 5 a.m. buses only operate every 30 mins and have more stops, resulting in a longer journey.
