We took Über about a dozen times and found it to be an easier way to get around, instead of the light rail trams which parallel the channels. We were here with another couple and we mostly had Mercedes-Benz Rs The drivers were all very friendly and knowledgeable about their city. Most spoke English and some French or German. But it really wasn't necessary, since Über had already plotted the route. Our wait times were usually ten minutes or so. Everything was door to door and first class.

Zero stars--AWFUL! USE ANOTHER SERVICE Gave flight info as…read morerequested when reserving--our flight info indicated landing 0735--Arrived at the pick up location at 0750 (flight arrived early), checked in and told that our driver had left bc we were late, but another was OTW and would arrive within 30 minutes. NOT true. Had to call the office number twice to find out where the driver was and in fact, no driver was en route. In the end (after an hour+ wait) , a driver arrived and THEN couldnt locate our hotel. So, he dropped us on the street and told us to walk to get there (4 blocks.) Needless to say, we very quickly cancelled our return-to-airport reservation. A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE in every way.

Do not believe what they say on their website about the driver waiting for you after passport control when you have given them your flight number. It does not happen. We waited an hour and saw several other groups of travelers frustrated with their similar long wait for a taxi. Refunds were not available and it would have been simpler and quicker to walk out and get a waiting taxi.

Lucky for me that I am coming across a few good taxi companies in Amsterdam, since I boycotted TCA and Connection.You can call or book them online, then pay cash when they pick you up.They even take all major credit cards.They will drive you anywhere that you need to go, even to Rotterdam, Belgium,France, and Germany. The fees are very much clear on line, so you don't have to worry about any dodgy behavior.

We did have to wander around quite a bit to find the bar that contained liquor, but we were persistent! Airport was clean and all employees we encountered were pleasant. We waited about an hour and a half in a very hot line to clear immigration. None of the self-service kiosks were open. When the Schengen line was totally clear, I hoped they would start taking people from our line; no such luck. The gentleman who helped us was nice, but it took way too long to get to him. It is very convenient that the train station is right there in the airport, though I wish the platform system was made a bit more clear no the kiosks when buying tickets. For those of us who don't have this type of transit in our home cities (Los Angeles), it made transportation tough. In fact, we got on the wrong train and what should have been a 15 minute ride from Schiphol to Centraal became an hour-long detour in the broiling heat.

I think I should divide this review based on departures vs. arrivals. This is from the perspective…read moreof a US citizen. Arrivals: We were warned that the lines would be long because the EU was launching a new biometric system where we put our fingerprints and passports into this machine thing and then that should let you past the gate and into the rest of the airport. it works for the most part, except my friend had issues getting through as her passport didn't get recognized. They pulled her aside for questioning. I waited near the exit wanting to shout "She's real, free my friend." but I figured I'd get in trouble. But 5 minutes later she came out of the gate. Then we waited in this massive room to grab our luggage. We noted so many pretty what is equivalent to TSA workers, even the security guards looked like models. Why can't we have that back home? Then we walked out of this massive airport and then we got our ride into Amsterdam Departures: We arrived 2.5 hours before our flight to Edinburgh and if we have waited in front of the massive queue to check in our luggage, we would have missed our flight. We opted for the check in machines. It took a bit to figure out, but I'd pick it over the big line. Then there was another massive line for security. The security is 2 parts - one to check your carry on and then another to check out of the country. this part almost cost us the flight because despite the various signs - people wouldn't empty their water bottles or liquids - or forget to take out the chargers and laptops - it was frustrating. They also dont show the gate until an hour before so you have to run if its on the opposite side. I think it's an EU/UK thing, because this was a common occurrence in Amsterdam, Heathrow, and Edinburgh. Then I had to run and I ran!! I ran so deep into the airport - thank god for those walking escalator things - it helped cut the time in half. And once I got on my plane I was huffing and puffing. But we all managed to make it in time. long story short: for international flyers - go 4 hours early, bring running shoes, and good luck.
