A popular destination for low-cost carriers, Rotterdam The Hague Airport, located in Rotterdam, is the third-busiest of the five civilian airports in the Netherlands. Built as the country's second national airport, Rotterdam Airport serves over a million flyers each year; with nine airlines (at the time of publication: Arkefly, BMI Regional, British Airways, CityJet, Jetairfly, Transavia, Turkish Airlines, VLM Airlines and Vueling), it's the departure point for dozens of destinations across Europe, plus others in Morocco and Turkey.
Travelers who want to use South Holland as a base to explore the Netherlands will find it a convenient destination airport.
I heartily recommend the efficient public transit system to travel to or from Rotterdam Airport. The airport is just a 25-minute bus ride to or from downtown Rotterdam; public transit to and from The Hague takes under an hour and requires as little as one transfer.

Is There Shuttle Bus Service Between Rotterdam Airport and Downtown Rotterdam or The Hague?
No shuttle bus service is offered between Rotterdam Airport and either of the two cities it serves. There is, however, the Rotterdam Airport Taxi, which can transport parties of up to nine people to any destination of choice, but as most taxi services in the country, the service comes at a premium.
Rotterdam Airport to Downtown Rotterdam or The Hague by Car
Car travel between the airport and either city should be reserved for exceptional circumstances - not only is it less convenient, it's also more expensive than public transit. Even so, visitors can choose for one of five different car rental companies located in the airport terminal; contact information for each can be found on the Rotterdam Airport web site. Detailed directions on how to reach the airport can be found on the ViaMichelin web site, where drivers can choose their route of choice and calculate trip costs.
