EUR 19.60 is the EUR 16.40 single plus the EUR 3.20 Intercity direct supplement, which applies only to Intercity direct and Eurocity Direct departures on this route. The supplement is a separate ticket, valid until 04:00 the next day, bought as an e-ticket in the NS app or at the machine (EUR 1.60 extra for a single-use card); a bank card tapped at the gate pays the fare only, not the supplement. A child aged 4 to 11 on a EUR 2.50 Railrunner pays no supplement. Three or more off-peak can combine the EUR 38.50 Off-peak Group Ticket with one supplement each, cheaper than this fare.

Ride to Rotterdam Centraal

26–27 min.

Worth knowing

Three an hour from platforms 5–6 — the Intercity direct at 22 and 52 past, the Eurocity Direct at 11 past — 06:21 to 23:22 on weekdays, from 06:52 on Saturdays, non-stop over the high-speed line. A 23:52 Intercity does the run in 36 minutes; check the planner for whether it carries the supplement. On 26 and 27 September 2026 no fast trains run at all — use the slow Intercity instead.

The EUR 3.20 applies only between Schiphol and Rotterdam Centraal. The same train needs no supplement between Schiphol and Amsterdam Zuid.

It skips Leiden and Den Haag. For those, and for a supplement-free ride, take the ordinary Intercity, 50 minutes.

The Eurocity Direct at 11 past is the Brussels train; an ordinary NS ticket plus the supplement boards it as far as Rotterdam.
