Private Driver in Antwerp: Fixed-Price Chauffeurs for Business and the Airport

A private driver in Antwerp gives you a chauffeur and a car reserved for you alone, from a single airport transfer to a full day of appointments across the city and the port. SilverDrive agrees a fixed price at booking, tracks your flight on airport pickups and runs its own Mercedes-Benz and BMW fleet, 24/7, from its Amsterdam base.

Antwerp is a city where the useful addresses sit close together and the roads between them work against you. The historic centre is dense and partly car-free, a low emission zone covers the city, and the ring road and Scheldt tunnels slow down at predictable hours. A chauffeur turns that into one fixed point at the start of each journey and another at the end. For the background on the diamond, fashion and port trades, read our Journal guide to a chauffeur service in Antwerp. This page covers what you can book and how it works.

What can you book with a private driver in Antwerp?

Most Antwerp bookings take one of four shapes. Choose the one that matches your day and the quote follows from it.

For any day with three or more movements, hourly hire is usually the better instrument. Antwerp appointments tend to be short and close together, and a car that waits removes the gap between leaving one building and the next car arriving.

Airport transfers to and from Antwerp

Antwerp has a small airport of its own, but most travellers arrive through Brussels or Schiphol. SilverDrive covers all three with the same fixed-price, flight-tracked pickup.

Brussels Airport (BRU) to Antwerp

Brussels Airport at Zaventem is the nearest major intercontinental hub, about 40 minutes from central Antwerp by road in normal traffic. Your chauffeur monitors the flight, adjusts for delays, and meets you on arrival. Our Brussels Airport guide explains the terminal layout and the pickup.

Schiphol to Antwerp

Many visitors land at Amsterdam Schiphol for its long-haul connections and continue south by car. The drive takes about two hours with no border formalities, which makes a same-day Antwerp meeting realistic after an early arrival. See our Schiphol airport guide for the arrivals side.

Antwerp Airport (ANR) and private aviation

Antwerp International Airport in Deurne, on the south-east edge of the city, handles a limited number of scheduled routes alongside business and private aviation. It sits close enough to the centre that the transfer is short, and the chauffeur meets you at the terminal rather than you looking for a rank.

Where a private driver in Antwerp takes you

A chauffeur earns the most in the parts of Antwerp where parking is scarce and addresses are spread out. These are the destinations that fill most of our Antwerp bookings.

• Antwerp-Centraal and the diamond district. The station and the diamond quarter sit side by side. Drop-off and collection points here are tight, and a chauffeur who knows where a car can legally stop saves real time. For moving valuables, SilverDrive runs a separate high-value goods transport service.
• Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp. The FMCCA sits beside the station within the grounds of Antwerp Zoo, on Koningin Astridplein. Conference days work best with a car on standby for the evening programme.
• The Port of Antwerp-Bruges. The port runs for kilometres north of the city. Offices and terminals are far apart and poorly served by public transport, so an hourly booking pays for itself here.
• Het Zuid, Eilandje and the Meir. Galleries, restaurants, the MAS museum and the main shopping street. The car holds your purchases and coats while you walk.
• Hotels and residences across the city. Collection from the lobby at the agreed minute, whatever the hour.

Drive times from Antwerp

Antwerp sits on the main road corridor between the Netherlands and Brussels, so it combines naturally with other cities in one booking. Times below are approximate road times in normal traffic; peaks around the Antwerp ring and Brussels add to them.

For multi-city itineraries through Belgium, our private chauffeur guide to Belgium sets out the routes in more detail. Longer runs into France or Germany are covered by our city-to-city service.

Which car suits your Antwerp journey?

Choose the car by party size, luggage and how long you will sit in it. Every vehicle belongs to SilverDrive’s own fleet; we do not pass your booking to a third party.

• Mercedes-Benz E-Class: one to two passengers on city transfers and business days.
• Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW i7: rear-seat space for working on the move, and the natural choice for the drive from Schiphol.
• Mercedes-Benz EQS or EQV: fully electric options for travellers whose company policy asks for them.
• Mercedes-Maybach S-Class: for guests who expect the top tier.
• Mercedes-Benz V-Class: up to seven passengers with luggage, suited to buying trips and families.
• Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VIP and Setra coach: delegations, conference groups and events.

How booking a private driver in Antwerp works

Booking takes a few minutes and the price is settled before you travel.

1. Send the details. Pickup address or flight number, destination or the shape of your day, date, party size and luggage. Use the booking form or the SilverDrive app.
2. Receive a fixed quote. One figure for the whole booking, agreed upfront. It does not move with traffic or demand.
3. Meet your chauffeur. At the arrivals hall, the hotel lobby or the office door. For airport pickups, flight tracking adjusts the time automatically.
4. Keep the car as long as you booked it. On hourly and day bookings the chauffeur waits nearby and adapts as your schedule moves.

• Cross-border by design: Antwerp, Brussels, Rotterdam and Amsterdam on one booking, with one chauffeur.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private driver in Antwerp cost?

The price depends on the vehicle, the distance and how long you keep the car. SilverDrive quotes one fixed price when you book, and that figure does not change afterwards: no surge pricing and no meter. Send the pickup, the destination or the shape of your day and you receive a quote before you commit.

Is Uber available in Antwerp?

Yes, ride-hailing apps operate in Antwerp, but driver supply and vehicle type vary by time and address, and every trip is a new car with a new driver. A private driver is booked in advance, waits between appointments, and keeps your bags and documents in the same car all day.

How far is Antwerp from Amsterdam by car?

About two hours in normal traffic, almost entirely on motorway, with no border formalities between the Netherlands and Belgium. From Schiphol the drive is similar. With a chauffeur the journey becomes working or resting time, and you arrive at the actual address rather than at Antwerp-Centraal.

Can I book a transfer from Brussels Airport to Antwerp?

Yes. Brussels Airport (BRU) is the nearest major intercontinental airport to Antwerp, about 40 minutes away by road in normal traffic. Flight tracking is included, so the pickup follows your actual landing time rather than the schedule printed on your booking.

Can the driver wait while I attend meetings in Antwerp?

Yes. Hourly and full-day bookings keep the car and chauffeur with you between appointments. The chauffeur waits at an agreed point nearby and is at the kerb when you come out, so an overrunning meeting or a moved slot costs nothing extra in rebooking.
