Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Rotterdam Cruise Terminal is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Rotterdam Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Rotterdam Airport (RTM)
Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM) is about 8 km north of Rotterdam centre and 20 minutes from The Hague; Amsterdam is about an hour.
A little knowledge of Rotterdam Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal drive begins.
Searches for "RTM to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal" or "RTM airport transfer" land here for a reason: RTM is the airport code for Rotterdam Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Rotterdam Cruise Terminal.
Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Rotterdam Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal?
An airport taxi from Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Rotterdam Cruise Terminal, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Rotterdam Airport runs mainly into Rotterdam itself: bus 33 and the metro connect Rotterdam The Hague Airport with the centre in about 25 minutes, and trains from the central station reach Amsterdam, Schiphol, The Hague and Antwerp; but for Kinderdijk, Keukenhof, the Hook of Holland ferry and the cruise terminal with luggage, a private car is far more convenient. Reaching Rotterdam Cruise Terminal from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Rotterdam Cruise Terminal once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

Meeting your driver at Rotterdam Airport

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Rotterdam Cruise Terminal transfers
What guests tell us they value about the Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay.

Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare.

With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes.

A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Rotterdam Cruise Terminal.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Rotterdam Airport to Rotterdam Cruise Terminal?
Bus 33 and the metro connect Rotterdam The Hague Airport with the centre in about 25 minutes, and trains from the central station reach Amsterdam, Schiphol, The Hague and Antwerp; but for Kinderdijk, Keukenhof, the Hook of Holland ferry and the cruise terminal with luggage, a private car is far more convenient. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Rotterdam Airport is delayed?
It depends on the option you chose. With flight tracking, the driver is there when you actually land, for delays of up to 5 hours; beyond that, tell us straight away and we try to find a new time, without a guarantee.
