What is valet parking?
With valet parking you do not have to look for a parking space or take a shuttle. You drive to Schiphol, a member of the provider's staff takes over your car and key at an agreed spot near the terminal, and parks the car at a site run by the provider. After your trip you let them know you have landed, and your car is brought back to the agreed point. This page only shows providers of valet parking at Schiphol.
Who is valet parking useful for?
Valet parking is especially convenient if you want to spend little time on departure and arrival. Think of travellers with children, a lot of luggage or an early flight. You walk straight from your car into the departure hall and do not have to wait for a shuttle bus after a long trip. The trade-off is that you hand your key to someone else and trust the provider to take good care of your car.
What to look for in a valet provider
- Where does the handover take place, and how do you check in on departure and on return?
- Where is your car parked: indoors or outdoors, and is the site guarded or fenced?
- What does the provider say about damage and liability?
- How does the provider deal with delayed flights or a later return?
- What are the cancellation terms?
Consider taking a few photos of your car and the mileage yourself at the handover. That gives you something to fall back on later if there is any doubt.
Prices of valet parking
With each valet provider in the list you see the total price for the period shown. Providers sometimes charge surcharges, for example for handover outside certain hours; these are set out in the provider's conditions. Enter your own travel dates for the price for your period, and read the conditions before you book.
Valet or shuttle after all?
Unsure between valet and shuttle? With shuttle parking you park yourself and take a shuttle bus to the terminal. That takes more time, but with many providers you keep your key. On our page about shuttle parking at Schiphol you can read about those providers. If you want to see all types side by side, have a look at the general page about parking at Schiphol.
What you see before you book
Before you book you see the total price for your period and the provider's conditions. Pay attention to the agreed handover point, the phone number for your return and the cancellation terms, and keep your confirmation on your phone.
