Taxi to Schiphol from Eindhoven: time and price
Everything you need to know about travel time, cost and when a taxi really is the most convenient choice.
Want to go from Eindhoven to Schiphol and wondering how long it takes and what it costs? The short answer: by taxi you are on the road for about 1.5 hours door to door, at a fixed price from 250 euros. By train you take about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Eindhoven Centraal with a direct intercity, several times an hour during the day. The train is therefore often cheaper per person, while the taxi drops you off exactly on time at the terminal without transfers and without lugging your baggage. Which choice suits best depends on your flight time, your company and how much luggage you bring. Below we put the options honestly side by side so you can choose yourself.
Your options at a glance: train or taxi
There are broadly two ways to get from Eindhoven to Schiphol. The train is the most chosen route: from Eindhoven Centraal a direct intercity runs to Schiphol several times an hour during the day, and the ride takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. You then have to deal with the journey to and from the station, and with a platform full of suitcases. The second option is a door-to-door taxi. It picks you up at home and brings you directly to the departure hall, in about 1.5 hours, without a transfer. For that you pay a fixed price from 250 euros, regardless of crowds or time.
Time and price compared
Purely on travel time the options are close: the train takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes, the taxi about 1.5 hours from your front door to the terminal. The big difference is in the convenience and the cost. The train is usually cheaper per person, but you have to get to the station yourself, transfers can sometimes disappoint with luggage, and outside the timetable no train runs. The taxi costs more, from 250 euros, but that is a fixed price for the whole car. If you travel with several people, you share those costs and the difference per person becomes a lot smaller. On top of that, the taxi drives 24/7, even when no train runs.
When the taxi is the best choice
A taxi pays off especially in a few clear situations. Do you have a very early or late flight, then the train may not run and the taxi still gets you there on time, because it is available 24/7. Travelling with a group, you share the fixed price from 250 euros and it becomes attractive per person. Bringing a lot of or heavy luggage, or travelling with children, then door to door without transfers is an enormous relief. And if you simply want the peace of mind of not having to transfer and being sure to stand at the gate on time, the taxi is the carefree choice. For a single traveller during the day with little luggage, the train is often more logical.
