Taxi from Antwerp to Brussels Airport: fixed price and tips

Fixed price, journey time to Zaventem, when to leave and why a taxi beats the train when you have luggage.

Airport · Ramys Taxi Service

For most people in Antwerp, the trip starts at Brussels Airport in Zaventem. By train you often have to change and haul your cases across platforms; by car you pay for parking for every day you're away. A taxi takes you from your front door, or your hotel, to the departures hall.

Distance

Journey time
35–50 min
Route
E19 / R0

Journey time in normal traffic; in rush hour on the Antwerp and Brussels ring roads it can take longer.

When should you leave?

Airports advise arriving about two hours before departure for flights within Europe, and about three hours for long-haul flights. Add the journey time and some margin for traffic. If your flight leaves during the morning rush hour (between 7 and 9 am), allow extra time: the Antwerp ring road and the link to the Brussels ring are at their busiest then.

Why take a taxi?

  • Door to door: no changes, no stairs with your cases.
  • Fixed price: the price is agreed in advance, so traffic jams won't cost you extra.
  • Early and late flights: even when the trains aren't running yet.
  • For groups, a taxi often costs less than you'd think, especially compared with a week of airport parking.
