Door-to-terminal rides from Machelen and Diegem for those early Brussels Airport departures
A private car to your terminal, booked online in roughly a minute and confirmed on the spot, with a price that stays honest whether you fly at dawn or at midnight. Before pickup you receive your driver's name, mobile number and licence plate, and you can follow the car live as it turns into your street. Machelen is about as close to Brussels Airport as a Flemish Brabant municipality gets: the runways sit just beyond the eastern edge of Diegem, and on a quiet morning the ride covers roughly 8 km in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how busy the Woluwelaan and the ring around Brussels are. That closeness is exactly why so many people here underestimate the trip. The first bus has not run yet, a car left for a week in the airport car park costs more than the ride, and nobody wants to ask a neighbour for a lift at half past four. This page is written for that early departure: we collect you in Machelen itself or in Diegem, from the streets around the church to the hotels and offices near Diegem station, and have you at the departures hall with time to spare for check-in and security. A taxi from Machelen to Brussels Airport starts from €50 for a car carrying up to three passengers, and the price is for the whole vehicle, not per head.

Why Machelen Flyers Book Us for the Short Hop
Living a few minutes from the airport should make flying easy, yet early check-ins, heavy suitcases and a car park bill often spoil it. We are a Belgian company with more than ten years of airport runs behind us, and you book with us directly rather than through a platform taking commission. A clean Mercedes stops at your door in Machelen or Diegem at the agreed time, and the driver knows every shortcut between the village and the terminal. What you see when you book is what you pay, day or night.

Frequently Asked Questions
My flight leaves at 6 am. When should the taxi pick me up in Machelen?
The drive itself takes 15 to 30 minutes, so the pickup mainly depends on how early you want to be at check-in. Enter your departure time when booking and the tool proposes a pickup time that leaves room for bag drop and security.
Is a taxi worth it for such a short distance?
For many Machelen residents it is. Public transport barely runs in the small hours, and parking at the airport for a trip of several days quickly costs more than a ride that starts from €50 per car.
Do you collect guests from the hotels in Diegem?
Yes. Enter the hotel as your pickup address and the driver comes to the entrance. The same goes for offices and homes anywhere in Diegem or Machelen.
Which way does the driver take to the terminal?
Usually along the Woluwelaan or the ring towards the airport, whichever is quickest at that hour. Either way you are dropped at the departures hall.
Is there an extra charge for rides at night?
No. The price shown in the booking tool is the one you pay, at 5 am just as at noon.
How can I pay for the ride?
In cash or by card with the driver, or online in advance when you book.
