Transfer from Brussels Airport to Antwerp

Your journey follows the E19 motorway, Belgium's primary north–south corridor linking Brussels Airport to Antwerp. The route passes the distinctive Atomium landmark in the western outskirts of Brussels before the motorway sweeps through suburban and semi-rural Flemish landscape, crossing into Antwerp province. You'll travel through relatively flat terrain with alternating built-up and agricultural areas typical of the Brussels–Antwerp corridor.

Pickup occurs at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of your landing terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign. Allow 37 minutes for the drive under normal conditions; expect minor delays during weekday rush hours (7–9 AM, 5–7 PM), though mid-morning and evening departures typically flow smoothly. Antwerp's city centre is compact and walkable once you arrive, with drop-off at your hotel or the historic Central Station area.

Public train alternatives cost €13.90–€21.90 (including the mandatory €6.90 airport supplement) and require navigating luggage through stations; buses like FlixBus charge from €5 but take 45–60 minutes with multiple stops and involve a 400-metre walk from the station. A private transfer includes all E19 tolls and Antwerp's low-emission zone fees in the fixed price, door-to-door convenience, and flight monitoring that adjusts automatically to delays—benefits neither trains nor budget buses can match on this busy route.
