Pick-up in Ghent
We pick up in the historic centre, at Gent-Sint-Pieters station, near the university or in nearby towns such as Merelbeke, Destelbergen or Sint-Martens-Latem.
Your driver arrives at the agreed time, loads your luggage and takes you straight to the departures terminal at Zaventem.
When should you leave Ghent?
For a European flight, aim to be at the airport about two hours before take-off. Example: for a 9 am flight, arrival at Zaventem is planned for around 7 am. From Ghent, we then schedule a pick-up around 5:45 am, which leaves a margin for traffic. For a long-haul flight, add an hour.
We suggest the exact time when you book, based on your flight.
Back from Zaventem to Ghent
For your return, give us your flight number: your driver tracks the landing and waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign. If the plane is late or your bags take a while, the driver waits at no extra cost. You go straight home, without looking for a taxi or a train.
Which vehicle should you choose?
A sedan suits up to 3 passengers with normal luggage. With lots of suitcases, an estate gives more room. For a large family or a group, a van takes up to 8 passengers. Child seats are available on request: just tell us the children’s ages.
