Your chauffeur service in Aachen

Aachen sits right on the point where the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet, and that is exactly why a chauffeur service makes sense here. Clients fly into Schiphol, Dusseldorf, Brussels or Maastricht and need a reliable, comfortable ride across one or two borders. SilverDrive drives to and from Aachen in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes or BMW, at a fixed price agreed at booking, with screened English-speaking chauffeurs.

Aachen attracts a particular kind of traveller: researchers and industry partners visiting RWTH Aachen University, patients and families heading to the University Hospital, equestrian guests at CHIO Aachen, and tourists drawn to the cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the historic centre where Charlemagne once held court.

From Schiphol and Amsterdam

The most common long transfer is from Schiphol. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board and includes 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. The route runs via the A2 past Utrecht and Eindhoven, or through Venlo, depending on traffic.

From Dusseldorf and Brussels

For many international visitors, Dusseldorf and Brussels airports are the closest major hubs. We collect you there and cross the border without any change of car. See our Dusseldorf Airport transfers.

CHIO Aachen

Every summer, CHIO Aachen brings the world’s best show jumpers, dressage riders and eventers to the Soers showground. For owners, riders, sponsors and VIP guests, getting to the grounds on time, every day, is essential. SilverDrive provides airport transfers, daily rides between hotels in Aachen, Maastricht or the Eifel and the showground, and hourly hire for evening events. Read more in our guide to travelling to CHIO Aachen.

Business, research and medical visits

  • RWTH Aachen University and its campus, with research institutes and industry partners from around the world.
  • The University Hospital (Uniklinik RWTH Aachen), where patients and families value a calm, private ride over a train journey with changes.
  • Industrial sites in the region around Aachen, Düren and Heerlen.

With hourly hire, the chauffeur stays with you between appointments, and with our business chauffeur service companies can book on account.

Crossing the border with a chauffeur

Aachen is one of the few places where a single short journey can touch three countries. Your chauffeur crosses the Dutch, Belgian and German borders without any change of car, and the fixed price covers the entire trip. Inside Aachen, the city centre has a low-emission zone; our vehicles meet the requirements, and the electric EQS and BMW i7 are a natural fit for clients who prefer zero-emission travel. For visits to the old town around the cathedral and the town hall, your chauffeur sets you down as close as access rules allow and waits nearby.

Our vehicles

For one to three passengers, choose an E-Class, S-Class or the fully electric EQS or BMW i7. Families and groups travel in a V-Class or EQV with room for up to seven and luggage. For larger delegations or event groups, we offer a Sprinter or the Setra coach.

Beyond Aachen

From Aachen it is a short drive to Maastricht, Liège, Cologne and Monschau in the Eifel. Many clients combine Aachen with a stay in South Limburg; see our chauffeur service in Maastricht.
