Landed at Düsseldorf Airport? Straight home to your door in Essen
Touch down, walk out and let someone else take the wheel home. Book online in about a minute and the confirmation lands in your inbox straight away; your driver's name, phone number and number plate reach you in advance, you can track the car live, and there are no hidden costs at any hour. This page is for people coming back to Essen after a trip, often on the last flights of the evening when the S-Bahn connections thin out. Düsseldorf Airport sits about 35 km from Essen, and the drive usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Instead of changing at Düsseldorf or Essen Hauptbahnhof with tired legs and heavy cases, you are driven to your own front door, whether that is a flat in Rüttenscheid, a house above the Baldeneysee in Werden or Bredeney, or a street in Kettwig on the Ruhr. Those southern districts are exactly where public transport from the airport becomes a long detour, and where a direct car saves the most time. Your driver follows your flight number, so a late landing is not a problem: waiting is free for up to 60 minutes after touchdown. The fare starts from €69 per car for up to three people.
