Pick up taxi Schiphol to Leiden

“Where do I find my pre-booked taxi at the airport?” A fair question. We have a lot of experience with picking up passengers at Schiphol, which we would like to share with you.

The dispatcher will contact you via WhatsApp as soon as your flight has landed. You can connect to the “Airport_Free_Wifi” if you don’t have an internet connection. Then send us a message back once you have collected all your luggage.

We will pick you up at the Staxi Pick Up Point, which is located on the departure level above. Go to Departure Hall 3, exit door D. Your taxi will be waiting for you in the outside lane.

Get in the right taxi from Schiphol to Leiden

You must get into the taxi that the dispatcher has designated for you. Only this driver knows your destination and the agreed-upon fare.

Many affiliated drivers offer their taxi services at the official taxi rank at the airport. Without a doubt, these are qualified taxi drivers. The only thing is that the drivers at the cab stand are operating in the taxi-hailing market, as opposed to the pre-booked cab market.

The difference is that the taxi rank drivers will always charge a fare on a meter basis. The driver we have selected to pick you up will transport you for the fixed price you have agreed upon.

Your designated driver will then also be able to show that he has received the details of your ride on his taxi board computer or dispatch app. If you are not sure if you are getting into the right taxi, you can always ask the driver to show you the trip details.

Of course, you can also always contact the dispatch center if you have any questions. You can also book a taxi bus with us. Make sure to book your cheap taxi from Leiden to Schiphol with Staxi!

A brief history of Leiden

Leiden has a lively history. The first signs of habitation date from 2000 BC. The oldest known mention of the city, which was then called Leithon, dates from 860 AD.

The charter containing the Leiden city rights, issued by Count Floris V in 1266 is considered the birth certificate of the city of Leiden. Count Floris confirmed the rights already given by his predecessors and added some more. The first city rights probably date from before 1200.

On October 3, 1574, Leiden freed itself from Spanish occupation during the Eighty Years’ War. Residents still celebrate the liberation of Leiden with hotspot, herring, white bread, and many great feasts.

Shortly after the Relief of Leiden, William I of Orange founded the first Dutch university in Leiden. The university was inaugurated on February 8, 1575 in the Pieterskerk. Prince William I of Orange funded the educational institution as a reward for the heroic defense of Leiden against the Spaniards.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Leiden was an epicenter, both scientifically and artistically. Rembrandt was born here, famous philosophers such as Baruch Spinoza visited Leiden, and Albert Einstein was an extraordinary professor at Leiden University from 1920 to 1946.
