Schiphol parking or taxi: how to compare
Parking and a taxi can only be compared using your trip duration, pickup address, party size and current parking price. Schiphol prices vary by product, reservation and date. Use the official parking planner and live taxi calculator; there is no universal winner.
No fixed parking price in this guide
Schiphol parking prices depend on travel dates, product, availability and reservation time. A figure in an article becomes outdated quickly. Use the official parking page for your actual dates.
Compare the same complete journey
Compare the total parking reservation plus your own driving costs with two live taxi quotes for the exact addresses and dates. Include the journey between the parking area and terminal, luggage and the return trip. Parking may suit a short trip or a useful live offer; a taxi may suit early flights, long holidays or groups. There is no universal winner.
