Thus, the taxi ride from Amsterdam Airport to city center should cost 45€-55€/48$-59$. Verily, only the maximum rates are regulated by the Dutch government. Although Amsterdam airport taxis are metered, most taxi companies have set fixed fares, at least for the most popular routes. Amsterdam’s traffic jams are somewhat tolerable, but the highways around the airport and the streets in the heart of the city tend to get crowded. The traveling time from Amsterdam Airport to downtown is around 18-35 minutes, depending on the traffic. Once entering the cab, you should catch sight of the tariff list, and the license number in the vehicle’s interior. What’s more, their license plates are blue. Nevertheless, they have the distinctive “Taxi” sign, the company’s logo, and the taxi number on their roofs, along with their price table on the vehicle’s exterior. The official Amsterdam taxis don’t have a unique color.

Still, you should always take your taxi from the taxi rank and avoid individual drivers who are almost certainly trying to scam you.

However, during peak hours, waiting in line for a while to catch your cab is always probable. Amsterdam airport taxis are conveniently lining up at the official taxi stand (Taxistandplaats), right outside the Schiphol Plaza doors.
