The handover

What exactly happens at the departure hall

You drive to the Departure Passage at Schiphol, between Departure Halls 2 and 3. Our driver is waiting there and has already received your details digitally: which car, which flight, and what time you're due back.

Together you walk around the car and its condition is recorded. The driver then takes the key and you sign for the handover. From that moment you walk on to the check-in desk while your car heads to our secured car park.

The journey there isn't a blind spot: route, speed and duration are digitally recorded, so afterwards it's clear exactly what happened to your car — including on the return trip to the Departure Passage. Read how we record every journey.

Valet or shuttle

When valet parking is worth it

Valet parking is the pricier of our two services, and that difference buys exactly one thing: you don't have to go to a car park. You drive up to the hall, step out and walk in.

That matters most when time or convenience is what counts — an early business flight, young children and lots of luggage, or limited mobility. If you have more time and are watching the cost, then shuttle parking is the logical choice: you park it yourself and keep your key.

Handover location: Vertrekpassage, Vertrekhal 1e verdieping — tussen Vertrekhal 2 en 3.
