Park and Fly

€17.50 per day gets you off‑site economy pricing with hotel flexibility

Park and Fly is an off‑site economy option near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport that pairs well with a hotel night before an early departure. Think of it like the DIY version of a park‑sleep‑fly deal: you leave the car, sleep nearby, then use a shuttle to reach AMS in the morning. With a daily rate of €17.50, it often beats keeping your car at Schiphol’s official long‑term lots for multi‑day trips.

Regulars on FlyerTalk often build this around hotels like Hyatt Place Amsterdam Airport in Hoofddorp, which runs a reliable airport shuttle timed for early flights. One guest called that hotel a “car + airport stopover” and used 3,500 Hyatt points instead of a cash rate just over €100, effectively turning it into a park‑sleep‑fly setup when combined with off‑site parking. The math starts to work in your favor once you pass 3–4 days away.

Others compare Park and Fly’s €17.50 daily cost with parking at places like Corendon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, where a FlyerTalk user also reported paying €17.50 to leave their car while using the shuttle and train into Amsterdam. That trick lets them treat the parking as a multi‑day base instead of paying higher station or city rates. Once you add up four or five days, small per‑day differences matter.

Watch out for hotels such as Moxy Schiphol, where one report mentioned a €4.50 shuttle fee plus around €10 for one night of parking; stacking that on top of Park and Fly’s daily rate can erase any savings. Before booking, compare your total: hotel night, €17.50 per day for Park and Fly, and any shuttle charges against Schiphol’s own long‑stay pricing for your exact trip length.

Practical tip: driving in from elsewhere in the Netherlands or Germany? Lock in your Park and Fly booking first, then pick a shuttle hotel (Hyatt Place, Corendon, or similar) that matches your flight time and budget so the car, room, and ride to AMS all line up.
