Taxis are very expensive in Amsterdam (and unless you have a LOT of luggage is by far the most over-priced alternative from the airport).

With that being said, there are quite a few mid-priced properties that have airport shuttles, and there is a shared airport shuttle. Most opt to take the train to Centraal (or South)+tram/bus/walk or the #197 airport bus.

If you are interested in a luxury car (which is my assumption, if you want the Waldorf to request a car), the most cost-effective (of the expensive) option is to use Uber and request a luxury car (instead of a black car). This should run 50€ to 60€; and I would imagine be far less than what the hotel might charge for a "luxury" car; but I might be mistaken. (My suggestion, would be to request Uber at baggage claim, and meet "across the street" at the Sheraton-Schiphol; IMO, this is by far the easiest meeting point for (requested) cars.)
