Good to know before you travel

For up to 4 people, a maximum of 3 large suitcases, and a maximum of 5 pieces of hand luggage, we calculate using a saloon/estate car. From 5 people, 4 large suitcases, or 6 pieces of hand luggage, the choice automatically changes to a taxi van. We then determine which suitable saloon or estate car will be sent.

Why figuring this out in advance makes a difference

The question “when do you need a taxi van for a trip to Schiphol” usually doesn't arise out of nowhere. You want to arrive on time, avoid surprises, and know what to expect on the day. A comfortable journey depends not only on the number of seats. Suitcases, aids, prams, and unusual luggage take up space and collectively determine which vehicle suits your booking.

The best preparation aligns with your specific situation. Therefore, accurately and honestly input the number of people and luggage separately. The calculator uses this data to choose between a saloon/estate car and a taxi van. For an unusual or large item, it is wiser to contact us in advance than to discover it doesn't fit when boarding.

How to apply this to your own journey

In the comments, mention anything the driver should know in advance. Think about assistance with boarding, a folding wheelchair, a pet carrier, or extra-large luggage. This way, the journey can begin without haste. Use the actual traveller's details, even if someone else is making the booking.

After calculating, take a moment to check all the details before paying. This way, the practical information from this article doesn't remain just theory but becomes a journey that has been clearly and calmly prepared.

In short

From five people or with a lot of luggage: a taxi van.
