From your doorstep in Gelsenkirchen straight to DUS departures
A taxi from Gelsenkirchen to Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) covers about 39 km and usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, from €76 per car for up to three passengers. Getting to the airport by rail from Gelsenkirchen normally means a change of train and then the SkyTrain from Düsseldorf Flughafen station to the terminal, which is tiring with suitcases and risky when your flight leaves early. A private transfer starts at your own front door instead, whether you live in Buer, Horst, Erle, Schalke or Rotthausen, or are staying at a hotel near Gelsenkirchen Hauptbahnhof. Your driver normally takes the A52 past Essen towards Ratingen and switches to the A42 or A2 when there are roadworks or queues. You are dropped at the departures level of the terminal, a short walk from check-in. We run around the clock, so a pick-up at 4 a.m. for a morning holiday flight costs no more than a ride in the afternoon. Business travellers can be collected from an office near the Veltins-Arena or from the Westfälische Hochschule campus. Right after booking you receive an email confirmation, later the details of your driver, and once the driver sets off you can follow the car live on your phone.

No train changes before your flight
From Gelsenkirchen there is rarely a direct train to Düsseldorf Flughafen, so the rail option usually means changing with luggage. A car that collects you at home or at your hotel takes you to the terminal in one go. You choose the pick-up time yourself, well ahead of departure, and the driver allows for traffic around Essen. That way the trip starts calmly instead of with a race between platforms.
