We doing a round trip from Amsterdam to Bruges. The Eurostar- SNCB rail trip isn’t cheap and is maybe 25% less expensive for hiring a driver. Does anyone have a reliable driver or car service to recommend?
Thanks

Have you considered non-Eurostar options (cf. NS International app)?

We paid about €39 for Amsterdam to Bruges. The Eurostar doesn't go to Bruges. You'd be getting off at Brussels and taking a local train to Bruges. If you research other trains through NS international or the Belgium train system, you'll find plenty of options from Amsterdam to Bruges through Antwerp.

I'm with Barney - the Dutch trains (IC trains) are a lot cheaper than Eurostar, worth having a look. I think you might pay considerably more for a car service. The Dutch trains will take you as far as Brussels and if you don't intend to visit Brussels you might be able to take a shortcut by getting off in Antwerp and taking a train to Bruges from there. SNCB from Antwerp or Brussels, mass transit, inexpensive.

Just look at Amsterdam - Brugge on nsinternational.com
When booked in advance this is not expensive as already mentioned. And this is just mass transit. I would expect a private car transfer to be vastly more expensive. There is basically no demand for such a service in that part of Europe, so only people who have lots of money to burn use this, and as a result the companies that do offer this are used to customers who will pay ridiculous prices without blinking twice. (And who have their personal assistants arrange it...)
