Armored vehicles in Amsterdam
Schiphol, the business towers of Zuidas, hotels on the canals and The Hague's international courts less than an hour away.
Armored vehicles in Amsterdam from Nero Line are available on request: a certified armored saloon or SUV, at a protection level from VR4 to VR10, with a trained security driver or for your own licensed driver. Most visitors arrive at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, which sits close to Zuidas, the city's business district. The historic canal ring is narrow and crowded with bicycles, so set-down points are planned with care, and a programme can continue to The Hague, seat of the Dutch government and of international courts. Rates are on request.
Schiphol is one of Europe's largest airports and lies a short drive from Zuidas, the business district in the south of the city, where banks, law firms and corporate head offices stand around the station.
A business programme in Zuidas need not enter the historic centre at all. The driver follows your flight and plans the short run to Zuidas or onward to The Hague.
The canal ring is Amsterdam's most beautiful district and its most difficult to drive. Streets along the canals are narrow, one-way and shared with bicycles, and stopping places are few.
Our drivers plan the closest practical set-down points for hotels and residences on the canals, and agree waiting positions outside the narrowest streets.
The Hague, less than an hour away, is the seat of the Dutch government and of international courts and tribunals, including the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. Hearings and diplomatic meetings there bring visitors who value discretion.
Rotterdam, with Europe's largest port, is a short drive further south. Brussels and Antwerp are within reach for a cross-border programme.
Many international law firms and corporate advisers in Amsterdam also work on cases heard in The Hague, so a single day can start in Zuidas, continue at a court or an embassy and end with a dinner back in the city. The driver plans the motorway timings between the two cities around rush hour, which is heavy on that route in the morning and the evening.

Questions
Protection levels
Civilian armored vehicles are commonly rated on the VR scale. The higher the number, the heavier the threat the body and glazing are tested against, and the heavier the vehicle becomes.
| Level | Tested against | In practice |
|---|---|---|
| VR4 | Handguns, up to .44 Magnum. | Discreet protection for city travel. The lightest class, closest to a standard car in weight and handling. |
| VR6 to VR7 | Rifles. VR7 corresponds roughly to the former B6 rating. | Suited to executive and diplomatic travel where rifles are part of the risk assessment. |
| VR9 | Military rifles. Corresponds roughly to the former B7 rating. | High protection for elevated risk profiles. Heavy, with a licence requirement to match. |
| VR10 | The highest level certified for a civilian vehicle. | Available on request, subject to availability and longer lead times. |

How it works
Dates, cities or route, number of passengers and the protection level you have in mind. A rough plan is enough to start.
We confirm the vehicle class, protection level, driver arrangement and positioning, and send a written offer. Rates are on request and stated in the offer.
On confirmation we complete identity checks, and for self-drive the licence check and the security deposit. A confidentiality agreement can be signed first.
The vehicle is positioned to your airport, hotel, residence or venue at the agreed time, with the driver briefed on your programme.
Three ways to book
Every booking starts with the same question: who will be at the wheel. The answer decides the licence, the paperwork and the minimum duration.
An armored vehicle and a trained security driver, by the day or for the length of your stay. Minimum one full day.
Armored vehicle with driverYour professional or security driver takes the vehicle. We check the licence class and identity before handover. Minimum two days.
Self-drive and own driverCongress weeks, summits, festivals and residencies of several weeks. Plan early: around the large events, an early request keeps more choice of vehicle and protection level.
