How does shuttle parking work?
With shuttle parking you drive yourself to a car park near Schiphol. You check in, park the car or leave it at a designated spot, and get on a shuttle bus that takes you to the departure hall. After your trip you contact the provider or go to the agreed pick-up point, and the shuttle takes you back to your car. This page only shows shuttle providers at Schiphol.
Who is a shuttle a good choice for?
Shuttle parking suits you if you do not mind planning a little extra time. With many providers you park yourself and keep your key, although this differs per provider. Because the car parks are outside the airport grounds, for example in Hoofddorp, Rozenburg or Schiphol-Rijk, there is usually a short drive to the terminal. How long that ride takes according to the provider is shown with each offer.
Allow enough time
The transfer time is the time of the ride itself. On top of that, allow time to check in, load your luggage and possibly wait for the next shuttle. A few tips:
- ask whether the shuttle runs at fixed times or on request;
- check whether the shuttle also runs at night or very early in the morning if your flight leaves at an unusual time;
- check how many people and how much luggage are included in the price;
- keep the provider's phone number handy for your return journey.
Prices for your trip
For every shuttle provider we calculate a total price for the number of days you park. Prices with a ± are indicative: we derived them from publicly published rates and state the date we checked them. Providers change their prices regularly, so you see the final price at the provider. Enter your own travel dates to see the prices for your trip.
What else to look out for
Besides the price, also look at the facilities of the car park, such as camera surveillance, a fenced site or indoor parking, and at extras such as a charging point. Read the cancellation terms and what the provider does if your flight is delayed.
Shuttle or valet?
If you would rather not take a shuttle at all, have a look at valet parking: you then hand in your car directly at the terminal. On our page about valet parking at Schiphol you can compare those providers. The general Schiphol page shows all types side by side. You always book directly with the provider.
