Verhoef Service Company

What Verhoef Service Company does

Verhoef Service Company is a Dutch passenger transport provider operating under the legal entity Mobiliteitsdiensten Nederland VIP Vervoer B.V., founded in 1955 and headquartered in Utrecht with operations in Uithoorn. The company employs over 250 people and operates across four service lines: Select Drive (premium executive and private chauffeur services using Mercedes-Benz and Volvo vehicles), Select Coaches (luxury group transport for 15 to 80+ passengers), Groepsvervoer (contracted school and group transport coordinated through the De Vier Gewesten network), and Mijn-Taxi (electric vehicle taxi services for healthcare, Wmo, and student transport using Kia Soul EV, Nissan Leaf, and Nissan Evalia vehicles). Pricing is quote-based and tailored to distance, vehicle class, and driver certification level; revenue is generated through direct booking, public tender contracts, and channel partnerships.

The company's go-to-market is hybrid: a multilingual website with direct booking and quote request forms serves individual and corporate clients, while institutional revenue is secured through European public tenders and framework contracts (notably the Wmo-taxi contract for Gooi en Vechtstreek). Verhoef distributes internationally through a partner network covering the US, Australia, and most other countries, and domestically through partner rental companies that supplement its own fleet. Customer segments span Dutch government directorates, multinational enterprises (Unilever, Fox), healthcare providers (Medisch Centrum Amstelveen), schools, event organizers, and individual private clients.

Verhoef's technology footprint is operational rather than algorithmic: an in-house ERP/CRM system with a customer portal, Wi-Fi-equipped vehicles, and EV fleet telematics for charging and route management. Driver quality is the principal differentiator, with all chauffeurs holding CCV-D professional certification plus first aid credentials, layered CCV-D1 and CCV-D2 security certifications, and structured training delivered through the Bruseco institute. The company pursues ISO-14001 environmental certification via the De Vier Gewesten franchise network and has absorbed AM match's transport activities in 2018 to consolidate regional scale. No revenue, ARR, or funding data is publicly disclosed.
