Eindhoven, North Brabant
Chauffeur service across Eindhoven and the Brainport region. From 1 February 2027 until flights resume on 19 July the airport takes no flights, so we bring you home from Weeze, Maastricht, Düsseldorf, Brussels or Schiphol at one fixed price in euros.
One fleet and one pricing method, sent out differently for a campus visit, a delayed Ryanair arrival or a night at the Philips Stadion.
Eindhoven Airport until the end of January, then Weeze, Maastricht Aachen and the larger hubs while the runway is rebuilt. Every flight is tracked, and 60 minutes of waiting from touchdown costs nothing.
Eindhoven airport transfersBuilt for a supplier day that moves between High Tech Campus, ASML in Veldhoven and a dinner in the centre. Two-hour minimum, and the car stays with you between buildings. The same booking covers corporate travel and wedding transportation.
Hourly chauffeur in EindhovenAmsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Maastricht, door to door at one fare agreed before you set off, with border crossings confirmed by dispatch.
Intercity rides from EindhovenA reserved black car in Eindhoven for visiting engineers, customer audits and board members, with the vehicle class locked at booking rather than whatever happens to be free at the rank.
Eindhoven black car serviceAn Eindhoven chauffeur service is private transport booked in advance at a fixed price, carried out by an operator holding a Dutch taxi licence (vergunning taxivervoer) issued through Kiwa Register and supervised by the Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport (ILT). In the Netherlands a chauffeur car is legally a taxi; what differs is that the price and the car are fixed before you travel. Whether the job is an Eindhoven Airport transfer, an hourly car service between campuses or a black car for a visiting executive, the chauffeur, vehicle and fare are agreed before the day.
In 2027 that matters more than usual. Eindhoven Airport closes to all flights from 1 February 2027, with flights resuming on 19 July, while the runway is resurfaced, and airlines are moving their flights to other airports for those months. A pre-booked Eindhoven car service turns a landing at Weeze, Maastricht Aachen, Düsseldorf, Brussels or Schiphol into one fixed fare to your front door, with the 9 percent VAT, any tolls and the airport's pickup parking already inside it. The full picture of what changes is on the 2027 airport closure page.
The rest of the year is mostly Brainport work. High Tech Campus, founded by Philips in 1998, holds more than 300 companies and 12,500 professionals, and ASML is headquartered at De Run 1000 in Veldhoven, with a new campus started at Brainport Industries Campus North in September 2026. EIN to High Tech Campus and EIN to ASML Veldhoven cover the visitor arrivals, and the Eindhoven taxi alternative page shows where a fixed fare beats the meter, and where it does not. Companies flying people in every week can add central billing through corporate travel in Eindhoven.
For eleven months a year the answer is the airport on the edge of town. Between February and July 2027 it becomes a choice between a German regional airport, a Limburg one and three large hubs.
| Airport | Distance by road | Typical drive, off-peak | Typical drive, peak | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eindhoven AirportEIN, Luchthavenweg 25 | 9.3 km to Eindhoven Centraal | 15 to 20 minutes | 25 to 40 minutes | Every Eindhoven flight except 1 February to 18 July 2027, when it is closed to all flights |
| WeezeNRN, Lower Rhine, Germany | About 68 km from EIN | 1 h 20 to 1 h 35 | 1 h 40 to 2 h 10 | Flights moved out of Eindhoven during the 2027 closure; cross-border, confirmed at booking |
| Maastricht AachenMST, Limburg | Maastricht centre is 95 km from EIN | 1 h 20 to 1 h 40 | 1 h 45 to 2 h 15 | The other airport named for moved flights during the closure, and the shortest way to stay in the Netherlands |
| DüsseldorfDUS, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany | About 121 km from EIN | 1 h 40 to 2 h | 2 h 10 to 2 h 50 | Long-haul and full-service carriers; cross-border, confirmed at booking |
| Brussels AirportBRU, Zaventem, Belgium | About 129 km from EIN | 1 h 35 to 1 h 55 | 2 h to 2 h 45 | Intercontinental flights when Schiphol is fully booked; cross-border, confirmed at booking |
| Amsterdam SchipholAMS, Haarlemmermeer | About 129 km from EIN | 1 h 45 to 2 h 05 | 2 h 15 to 3 h | Intercontinental arrivals with luggage or a group; the direct train often wins for one person |
Distances are measured from the Eindhoven Airport site on the western edge of the city, so a pickup in the centre or at Strijp-S shifts them by a few kilometres. Drive times are door to door in a direct private vehicle. Peak means roughly 07:00 to 09:30 and 16:00 to 19:00 on a weekday; Carnival, PSV home nights and the A2 on a Friday afternoon belong in a category of their own. The Weeze, Düsseldorf and Brussels runs cross a border and are confirmed by dispatch at booking.
Eindhoven is a single terminal with one clear short-stay option. The airports you may be sent to in 2027 are less familiar, so the pre-arrival message does more of the work there.
Eindhoven Airport handled a record 6,956,486 passengers in 2025 and 41,011 aircraft movements, close to its cap of 41,500. Ryanair, Transavia and Wizz Air operate the most flights, TUI flies holiday routes, and the 76 destinations are led by Málaga, London, Alicante, Budapest and Valencia. The terminal opens from 04:30 to 23:00, and the airport shares its 3,000-metre runway with Eindhoven Air Base, home of the Royal Netherlands Air Force and, since 2010, the European Air Transport Command.
The published short-stay option is Kiss & Ride on the first floor of the P1 garage. The first 15 minutes are free once per day per vehicle, after that it is €3.70 per half hour, paid by card only, and the garage has a 2.40 m height limit. Whatever your pickup costs in that garage is already inside a RYDES price. Onward timing for the commonest visitor run is on EIN to High Tech Campus.
From 1 February 2027 Eindhoven Airport closes to all flights, and flights resume on 19 July 2027. The work covers runway resurfacing, a new parallel taxiway, a Category 3 instrument landing system and an expansion of the terminal. Only the P1 car park stays open. Each airline decides where its flights go; the airport says that Transavia and TUI, for example, will use Weeze in Germany or Maastricht Aachen.
That puts Brabant Carnival, 6 to 9 February 2027, inside the closure, along with the spring holidays and the start of summer. If you hold a booking for those months, check with your airline which airport your flight now uses before you book the ground leg, then give us the flight number and we track it from there. Everything we know about the shutdown is collected on Eindhoven Airport closure 2027.
Neither airport is one most Eindhoven travellers know, and a first arrival at an unfamiliar terminal after an evening flight is exactly where a confirmed pickup helps. Your chauffeur confirms the exact door in the message sent before you land, and if the flight is late the pickup moves with it. Weeze Airport to Eindhoven is about 68 km and crosses the German border, so it is confirmed by dispatch when you book.
Maastricht Aachen Airport to Eindhoven stays inside the Netherlands and runs north up the A2. Both routes are priced as one fixed fare to the address you give, so a slow motorway at the end of a delayed flight does not change what you pay. If your airline moves you to Düsseldorf or Brussels instead, those runs work the same way.
Airport facts above were checked against public sources on 15 October 2026. Airlines are still announcing where their flights will operate during the closure, so confirm yours with the airline, and treat your chauffeur's message as the authority on where to walk.
Brabant has no road tolls and Eindhoven has no diesel zone for passenger cars. What reaches your fare here is VAT, the garage at the airport and, on a few longer runs, a tunnel.
Dutch motorways carry no tolls for cars. The exceptions are a handful of tunnels and bridges in the west of the country, the Kiltunnel, the Nieuwerbrug and the Blankenburgtunnel on the A24, and none of them sits on the usual Eindhoven routes. Across the border, the Liefkenshoek tunnel in Antwerp costs €6.20 by card for a car under 3 m, or €8 cash. If a route to Rotterdam, The Hague or the Antwerp Left Bank is planned through one of them, the toll is already inside your RYDES price.
Passenger transport in the Netherlands carries 9 percent VAT, and 9 percent VAT is inside every RYDES price. So is the Kiss & Ride charge at Eindhoven Airport, and any kerb or short-stay parking at Weeze, Maastricht or the larger hubs incurred for your pickup. Under the Wet personenvervoer 2000, maximum tariffs apply only to taxis hailed in the street or taken from a rank; a pre-booked trip may be sold at a fixed price agreed in advance, with no meter. The one thing outside the quote is parking you ask for elsewhere, for example a car park at a restaurant while the car waits.
| RYDES chauffeur | Taxi from the street or rank | Train or bus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| When the price is set | At booking, then fixed | On the meter, up to the national maximum tariff | When you buy the ticket or tap in |
| 9 percent VAT | Inside the quoted price | Inside the metered fare | Inside the ticket price |
| Airport parking for your pickup | Inside the quoted price | Not relevant at the rank | Not relevant |
| Luggage and passengers | You book the class that fits | Whatever fits in the next car | You carry it on and off |
| A delayed flight | 60 minutes free from landing | You look for a car when you land | You take the next departure |
| Landing at Weeze in 2027 | One fixed fare to your door, confirmed at booking | Metered over a long cross-border distance | Depends on the connections that day |
| Gratuity | Optional, offered once at payment | At your discretion | Not applicable |
Nobody has to choose between the A2, the A67 or the ring road on your behalf at five o'clock, because the routing does not change the number you agreed. The longer comparison against a metered fare, including when the meter is cheaper, is on Eindhoven taxi versus chauffeur.
The distances around Eindhoven are short; the ring road and the A2 at peak are what make them slow. These are ranges, and the top of each one turns up often enough to plan for.
| Route | Off-peak | Weekday peak | What moves it |
|---|---|---|---|
| EIN to Strijp-S | 10 to 15 min | 18 to 30 min | 6.9 km, the shortest run into the city |
| EIN to the Philips Stadion | 12 to 18 min | 20 to 35 min | 7.5 km; PSV match nights add queues around the ground |
| EIN to Eindhoven Centraal | 15 to 20 min | 25 to 40 min | 9.3 km through the western side of the city |
| EIN to ASML, Veldhoven | 12 to 18 min | 20 to 35 min | 9.5 km to De Run 1000, mostly on the ring |
| EIN to TU/e | 15 to 20 min | 25 to 40 min | 9.7 km to the university campus north of the centre |
| EIN to High Tech Campus | 15 to 20 min | 25 to 40 min | 10.1 km, the commonest visitor run |
| EIN to Brainport Industries Campus | 12 to 18 min | 20 to 35 min | 11.1 km; ASML broke ground on a new campus at Brainport Industries Campus North in 2026 |
| Weeze Airport to Eindhoven | 1 h 20 to 1 h 35 | 1 h 40 to 2 h 10 | About 68 km, cross-border; the 2027 closure route |
| Maastricht Aachen to Eindhoven | 1 h 20 to 1 h 40 | 1 h 45 to 2 h 15 | The A2 north; Maastricht centre is 95 km from EIN |
| Düsseldorf Airport to Eindhoven | 1 h 40 to 2 h | 2 h 10 to 2 h 50 | About 121 km, cross-border |
| Brussels Airport to Eindhoven | 1 h 35 to 1 h 55 | 2 h to 2 h 45 | About 129 km, cross-border |
| Schiphol to Eindhoven | 1 h 45 to 2 h 05 | 2 h 15 to 3 h | About 129 km on the A2 past Utrecht |
Short runs inside the city are measured from the airport site; from the centre to High Tech Campus or Veldhoven, allow a similar range. Events move these numbers more than weather: Dutch Design Week, GLOW and Carnival all fill the centre. The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so check any pickup booked across that weekend.
Intercity runs carry one fixed fare for the whole journey, not a rate by the hour, so a jam on the A2 near Utrecht is the operator's problem rather than yours.
| Destination | Distance | Typical drive | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antwerp | About 89 km | 1 h 10 to 1 h 50 | Cross-border into Belgium, confirmed at booking |
| Maastricht | About 95 km | 1 h 20 to 2 h | The A2 south through Limburg, all inside the Netherlands |
| Rotterdam Centraal | About 108 km | 1 h 30 to 2 h 30 | Busiest on weekday evenings |
| Amsterdam, Dam Square | About 123 km | 1 h 40 to 2 h 50 | The A2 the whole way; Amsterdam has diesel zones for older cars, which RYDES operators' cars meet |
| The Hague, Den Haag Centraal | About 131 km | 1 h 45 to 2 h 45 | Via Rotterdam; any tunnel toll on the route is inside the price |
| Brussels city centre | About 133 km | 1 h 45 to 2 h 45 | Cross-border, confirmed at booking |
Runs into Belgium and Germany are carried out by an operator able to carry passengers on both sides of the border, so Antwerp, Brussels, Weeze and Düsseldorf are confirmed by dispatch at booking rather than sold automatically. For the other end of those journeys, see Antwerp, Amsterdam and Düsseldorf.
Eindhoven itself, the Brainport campuses around it and the airports its travellers use in 2027. The chauffeur who meets you is dispatched by a Dutch taxi operator licensed through Kiwa Register.
The passenger numbers below are what is comfortable, not what the brochure claims. With full-size cases, move up one class.
| Class | Typical vehicles | Passengers | Luggage | In Eindhoven, best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| StandardComfortable everyday sedan | Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata | 3 | 2 medium | Short hops between Centraal, Strijp-S and the stadium, one person with a cabin bag |
| BusinessThe everyday standard | Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CT6 | 3 | 2 large, 1 small | EIN arrivals and campus meetings at High Tech Campus or ASML for one or two people |
| FirstFlagship sedans | Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 | 3 | 2 large, 1 small | Visiting executives to Veldhoven, and the long Schiphol or Brussels run where the cabin matters |
| SUVRoom for luggage | Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon | 5 | 5 large | Families with checked bags, and the longer Weeze or Düsseldorf runs during the 2027 closure |
| VanA seat and a case each | Mercedes V-Class, Mercedes Vito, Ford Transit | 7 | 7 large | Up to seven with luggage, Carnival groups, Design Week studio tours |
| GroupUp to sixteen | Mercedes Sprinter, executive minibus | up to 16 | By arrangement | Supplier days and conferences moving between campuses, and wedding parties in one vehicle |
The P1 garage at Eindhoven Airport has a 2.40 m height limit, so for a Van or Group booking your chauffeur confirms a meeting point that suits the vehicle. If you would like a chauffeur who speaks a particular language, say so in the booking notes and the operator will try to match it. Full capacity and luggage detail is on the vehicle classes page.
No meter running, no surge, and nothing added after you have already stepped out.
The Dutch rail network is good, and from some places it is simply the better buy.
Flying into Schiphol alone with light luggage, take the train. A direct Intercity runs from Schiphol to Eindhoven Centraal in about 1 hour 30, calling at Amsterdam Zuid, Utrecht and 's-Hertogenbosch, and from Amsterdam it is about 1 hour 20. One exception: track work between Boxtel and Eindhoven from 19 to 22 December 2026 will disrupt that line. Between Eindhoven Centraal and the airport, buses 400 and 401 run several times an hour and accept OVpay, so you can tap in with a bank card.
A chauffeur pays for itself in other circumstances: luggage you do not want to carry through two stations, more than two people, young children, a late landing after the trains thin out, a destination such as High Tech Campus or Veldhoven that the train does not reach, a landing at Weeze during the 2027 closure, or a day with several stops. That is most of why people book, but not every trip, and we would rather say so. The cost and time comparison is on Eindhoven taxi versus chauffeur.
Which airport your airline moved to, which garage door, which motorway at rush hour. None of that lands on you.
Where from, where to and when. Add the flight number and the airport it now uses, and we follow it from departure.
Every class shown with its final price in euros, VAT and tolls already in it, so there is nothing to work out.
Three hours before pickup you get the chauffeur's name, photo, car and plate, with the exact meeting point for that airport.

Yes. Eindhoven Airport closes to all flights from 1 February 2027, and flights resume on 19 July 2027. The work covers runway resurfacing, a new parallel taxiway, a Category 3 instrument landing system and a terminal expansion. Only the P1 car park stays open. See Eindhoven Airport closure 2027.
Each airline chooses its own alternative. The airport says, for example, that Transavia and TUI will use Weeze in Germany or Maastricht Aachen. Ryanair, Wizz Air and other passengers should check with their airline. We collect from whichever airport it is; see Weeze airport transfers and Maastricht Aachen airport transfers.
About 68 km, usually 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 35 off-peak and up to about 2 hours 10 in heavy traffic. Weeze is in Germany, so the run crosses a border and is confirmed by dispatch at booking. It is priced as one fixed fare to your address. See Weeze Airport to Eindhoven.
Yes. The run to Eindhoven stays inside the Netherlands and follows the A2 north; Maastricht centre is 95 km from Eindhoven Airport, and the drive is usually 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 40 off-peak. Your chauffeur confirms the exact door in the message sent before you land. See Maastricht Aachen Airport to Eindhoven.
At the drop-off or short-stay point named in the message sent before you land. The airport's published short-stay option is Kiss & Ride on the first floor of the P1 garage, and any charge there for your pickup is inside the price. Meet and greet inside arrivals is a paid add-on. Detail is on the Eindhoven Airport transfer page.
The first 15 minutes are free once per day per vehicle, then it costs €3.70 per half hour, paid by card only. The garage has a 2.40 m height limit. When a RYDES chauffeur collects you there, that charge is already in your quoted price.
Legally, yes. Under the Wet personenvervoer 2000, all paid transport by car for up to eight passengers is taxivervoer. The operator holds a vergunning taxivervoer through Kiwa Register, supervised by the ILT, and the driver holds the CBR taxi diploma and a chauffeurskaart valid for five years. What differs from a rank taxi is that the price and the car are agreed before you travel, with no meter.
Yes. The 9 percent Dutch VAT, any tunnel or bridge toll on the route and the parking charge for your airport pickup are inside the price quoted in euros. The only thing outside it is parking you ask for elsewhere. The full breakdown is on Eindhoven taxi versus chauffeur.
Eindhoven has no diesel milieuzone for passenger cars. Amsterdam does have diesel zones for older cars, and RYDES operators' cars meet the rules for any route they drive.
About 10 km, usually 15 to 20 minutes off-peak and 25 to 40 minutes at peak. ASML in Veldhoven is about 9.5 km and a similar time. See EIN to High Tech Campus and EIN to ASML Veldhoven.
If you are alone with light luggage, probably yes. The direct Intercity from Schiphol to Eindhoven Centraal takes about 1 hour 30 via Amsterdam Zuid, Utrecht and 's-Hertogenbosch. Track work between Boxtel and Eindhoven from 19 to 22 December 2026 will disrupt it. A car makes sense with luggage, a group, children, a late arrival or a campus address. See Schiphol to Eindhoven.
Buses 400 and 401 run from Eindhoven Centraal to the airport several times an hour, and OVpay is accepted, so you can tap in with a contactless bank card. During the 2027 closure there are no flights from the airport between 1 February and 19 July.
Yes, confirmed by dispatch at booking because both runs cross a border. Brussels Airport is about 129 km from Eindhoven Airport and Düsseldorf about 121 km; allow 1 hour 35 to 2 hours off-peak for either. See Brussels Airport to Eindhoven and Düsseldorf Airport to Eindhoven.
Yes. Dutch Design Week runs from 17 to 25 October 2026 across more than 120 locations and draws over 300,000 visitors, and GLOW follows from 7 to 14 November 2026. Streets in the centre and around Strijp-S are busier than usual, so book early and allow extra time between venues.
Yes, with a two-hour minimum in 30-minute increments. The chauffeur waits between High Tech Campus, ASML, TU/e and Brainport Industries Campus, and nothing runs while you are in a meeting. Paid parking at a stop is the one cost outside the quote. See hourly chauffeur hire.
At least 3 hours before pickup, and reservations open up to a year out. For Carnival from 6 to 9 February 2027, which falls inside the airport closure, PSV Champions League home nights, Dutch Design Week and GLOW, book as early as you can. Teams travelling every week should look at corporate accounts.
Give us the flight number and we track the aircraft. A delay moves the pickup automatically at no cost, and free waiting starts from the actual landing time. If the flight lands at a different airport, dispatch re-briefs the chauffeur to that airport, and a cross-border change is confirmed with you before the car sets off.
