My mother lives in Den Haag and has medical appointments twice a week across different clinics—some 15km away, some 30km. She can't drive safely anymore and public transport is stressful for her. I'm looking at hiring a private driver instead of doing the runs myself (I work full-time in Amsterdam). What's a realistic monthly cost, and should I go hourly or negotiate a fixed rate?
✓ Accepted answer
For regular medical appointment runs in Den Haag, expect €15–22/hour for a hired driver, or €1,200–1,800/month for 2 fixed weekly 2-hour trips. Costs depend on: whether you book return journeys (wait time costs extra, typically €8–15/hour), vehicle type (standard sedan vs. accessible/comfort vehicle for elderly passengers), and whether the driver waits during appointments. Many drivers offer discounts for recurring bookings. Check that your chosen driver has valid liability insurance and a clean driving record.
