Getting to your Amsterdam accommodation from Schiphol Airport doesn’t have to be a hassle. We’ve looked into the private transfer service offered by Shuttle 2 Amsterdam, and what stands out is how smooth and reliable it promises to be—especially for travelers who want a stress-free start or end to their trip. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or in a small group, this service offers tailored options that can make your arrival or departure much more comfortable.
Two things we really like? First, the private nature of the transfer, ensuring no waiting around for other passengers, and second, the attention to detail—from flight tracking to luggage assistance. The only thing to keep in mind is that this experience is quite straightforward, so if you’re expecting a scenic tour or a sightseeing ride, this isn’t it. But for pure convenience, especially after a long flight or before catching an early flight, this service hits the mark. It’s best suited for those who value reliability and personal service over adventure or sightseeing en route.

An In-Depth Look at the Transfer Experience

While in Amsterdam, here are other experiences we've covered
Ease of Booking and Confirmation
One of the first things we noticed is how straightforward it is to book this transfer. You receive a mobile ticket, and the confirmation is instantaneous, which is perfect if you’re planning your trip in advance. The service is designed to be flexible; upon booking, you’ll be asked for your flight details so they can track your arrival time. This means your driver will be waiting for you, even if your flight is delayed—a major plus for anyone who’s experienced the stress of airport delays.
The Meeting Point and Arrival Process
The meeting point is at Schiphol’s designated spot—near the Burger King at 1118 CP Schiphol. Your driver will have a sign with your name, making it easy to spot them. Communication is key here—they provide the driver’s phone number, and they also need your contact details. This two-way info sharing ensures that if anything changes, both parties can stay in touch.
The Vehicle Options and Comfort
Depending on your group size, you can choose from a sleek Mercedes E Class for 1-3 persons, V Class for up to 7, or larger Sprinter vans accommodating up to 23. All vehicles are air-conditioned, clean, and modern, designed for comfort after a long flight or before heading out for the day. WiFi is standard, so you can catch up on messages or plan your day during the ride.
The vehicles are spacious enough to handle luggage comfortably, and if you’re traveling with extra or oversized bags, just inform the company beforehand. Child seats are available, which makes this a family-friendly option if you’re traveling with little ones.
The Drivers and Service Quality
From reviews, we see that the drivers are not only professional but also attentive to guests’ needs. Kristen_O, who traveled with family, called the service “reliable” and appreciated how they assisted with luggage and made the process easy. The drivers seem to be fluent in English and are focused on providing a stress-free experience, paying attention to details like flight delays and personalized drop-off points.

Price and Value
At $144.60 for a group of up to three, this service is quite reasonable, especially considering the comfort and convenience it offers. When you split the cost among a few travelers, it often turns out to be a better deal than a taxi or multiple Uber rides, particularly if you value the predictability and private environment. For larger groups, the per-vehicle rate makes sense, and it’s a practical choice for families, small groups, or even small tour parties.
Who is This Best For?
This transfer service is ideal for travelers who prioritize reliability, privacy, and comfort. It suits those arriving late or with lots of luggage, families with young children, or groups wanting to start their trip without the stress of navigating public transportation or haggling with taxi drivers. If you’re on a tight schedule or simply want a smooth, predictable ride, this service ticks those boxes.
Additional Considerations

While the service is quite comprehensive, it’s worth noting that tips are not included—standard in many service industries, but something to keep in mind. Also, since the journey is about 30 minutes, you won’t have many stops or sightseeing opportunities during the transfer, but that’s not the point of this service. It’s all about getting you from point A to B efficiently and comfortably.
The service also offers flexibility—if you have specific luggage needs, just communicate them ahead of time. And for those with service animals, it’s explicitly allowed, which is considerate.
Final Thoughts
This private transfer from Schiphol to Amsterdam city center offers dependable, comfortable transportation with a personal touch. It’s straightforward, well-reviewed, and provides peace of mind—especially important after a long flight or when catching an early flight home.
If you’re someone who values arriving relaxed and on time, or if you’re traveling with a group or family, this service is worth considering. Its price point is fair for the quality and convenience you get, and the added benefits like flight tracking and luggage assistance make for a hassle-free start or end to your trip.
For travelers who want a reliable, private, and comfortable ride in and around Amsterdam without the unpredictability of taxis or ride-shares, this is a solid choice. Just remember to book ahead, communicate your needs, and enjoy a smooth ride to your destination.
