Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about airport transfer

Can the driver allow for a delayed flight?

Agree it with the coach company in advance: give your flight number in your request, so it can match the pick-up time to the flight.

Can the coach stop right by the arrivals hall at Schiphol?

A coach cannot stop just anywhere at the terminal. Where the coach picks up and drops off the group is agreed with the coach company; put the airport and your flight time in your request.

Is there enough room for a lot of luggage?

Coaches have a large luggage hold underneath. If you are a big group with lots of suitcases, say so in your request.

Can a group be taken to both Schiphol and Eindhoven Airport?

Yes, enter the airport as the destination or as the place of departure.

Does it cost anything to request a booking?

No, requesting a booking is always free and without obligation. You are not committed to anything until the coach company has confirmed the final price and availability and you agree.
