Arriving at Zaventem, heading for the Ruhr: a direct car to your hotel in Essen
Land in Belgium, arrive in the Ruhr, and skip every connection in between. Reserve online in around a minute and the confirmation arrives at once; you know your driver's name, mobile number and number plate ahead of time, you can follow the car live, and there are no hidden costs, even on a night landing. This ride suits visitors who fly into Brussels on their way to Essen: guests of the Zollverein coal mine complex, the UNESCO World Heritage site in the north of the city; conference delegates bound for Messe Essen; students and researchers starting at the University of Duisburg-Essen; and relatives visiting family in the Ruhr. Brussels Airport lies about 250 km from Essen, a journey of roughly 150 to 180 minutes. From Zaventem the driver heads east on the E40 past Leuven and Liège, crosses into Germany near Aachen and continues through North Rhine-Westphalia to your hotel, apartment or host family in Essen. You can lean back after the flight while someone who knows the road takes care of the traffic. The driver follows your flight and waits free of charge for up to 60 minutes after landing. The fare starts from €362 per vehicle for up to three people.
