Terminal Guide for Rotterdam The Hague Airport #

Single terminal: RTM has one passenger terminal building that handles both departures and arrivals in a compact layout. Check-in, security and gates are all within the same building; services and shops are limited compared with larger Dutch airports.

Because the airport is a single terminal, moving between check-in, security and gates is by foot; no internal shuttle is required and walking times are short.

Getting to and From Rotterdam The Hague Airport #

Rotterdam The Hague Airport is connected to the surrounding cities by local bus services, taxis and private car; travel to central Rotterdam is short (around 15-25 minutes by road) and to The Hague somewhat longer (typically 25-40 minutes).

  • Bus: Regular regional buses link the airport with Rotterdam and The Hague; journey times to Rotterdam central are typically in the 20-30 minute range and fares are modest (single-euro-zone fares). Purchase tickets at machines or via local transport apps.
  • Taxis: Taxis are available outside arrivals and the trip to Rotterdam city centre is usually under 30 minutes depending on traffic; expect a taxi fare noticeably higher than a bus fare (city-to-airport fares in the Netherlands are commonly in the tens of euros).
  • Ride-share: Uber and other app-based services operate in the Netherlands and serve the airport; pick-up points are at the public rank outside arrivals.
