Brussels Airport to Ghent Chauffeur Transfers

A Brussels Airport to Ghent transfer with SilverDrive is a private, door-to-door chauffeur ride: about 55 kilometres and 40 to 50 minutes by car. We meet you in the arrivals hall by name, track your flight, and drive you straight to your Ghent hotel or office. The train covers the same trip in roughly an hour, but only once you have found the platform and managed your luggage through a change.

You have just landed in a country you may not know, the signs are in three languages, and Ghent is an hour away. The last thing you want is to work out tickets and platforms with your bags in tow. A private transfer turns all of that into a single calm ride. Your chauffeur is waiting when you clear the gate, your price is fixed before you travel, and the next thing you think about is the city itself.

Getting from Brussels Airport to Ghent: your options

There are three sensible ways to make the trip. The right one depends on your luggage, your budget, and how much you value arriving without effort.

  • Train: direct services run from the station beneath Brussels Airport to Ghent in around 55 minutes to an hour, from about 16 euro. Cheap and frequent, but you carry your own bags and travel on the timetable.
  • Bus: FlixBus and similar coaches start from around 9 euro. The lowest fare, the longest and least flexible journey.
  • Private chauffeur transfer: door to door in 40 to 50 minutes, no changes, no waiting, luggage handled, at a fixed price agreed before you ride. The comfortable choice after a long flight or before an important meeting.

Why take a private chauffeur to Ghent

The train is fine when you are travelling light and have time to spare. A chauffeur earns its place the moment that stops being true.

  • Door to door: from the arrivals hall to your exact address in Ghent, with no change at Brussels and no walk from the station.
  • Flight tracking and meet and greet: we watch your flight and wait with a name board, even if you land early or late.
  • A fixed price: quoted before you book and easy to expense, with no meter and no surcharges.

Chauffeur service in Ghent and across the region

The airport run is only the start. Once you are here, the same chauffeur and car can stay with you for the city and the wider region.

  • Business and events: reliable transport for meetings, conferences at ICC Ghent, and corporate visits, booked by the hour or the day.
  • City and sightseeing: the historic centre, Gravensteen castle, and the canals, at your own pace rather than a tour group’s.
  • Onward routes: easy day trips and transfers to Bruges, Brussels, and back into the Netherlands, with one car and one chauffeur.

Brussels Airport to Ghent questions, answered

How long does it take to get from Brussels Airport to Ghent?

By car it is about 55 kilometres and 40 to 50 minutes, depending on traffic. The direct train takes roughly 55 minutes to an hour, plus the time to find the platform and change if needed. A private transfer is door to door, so the quoted time is the time you actually travel.

Is there a train from Brussels Airport to Ghent?

Yes. The station sits directly beneath Brussels Airport, and direct trains reach Ghent in around 55 minutes to an hour, from about 16 euro. It is cheap and frequent, though you manage your own luggage and travel on the timetable rather than your own schedule.

How much is a taxi or private transfer from Brussels Airport to Ghent?

Private door-to-door transfers for the route typically start in the region of 35 to 45 euro for a standard car, more for an executive vehicle. With SilverDrive the price is fixed and quoted before you book, with no meter. Request a quote online and you have your exact fare in minutes.

Which Brussels airport is closest to Ghent?

Brussels Airport at Zaventem is the main one, about 55 kilometres and 40 to 50 minutes from Ghent by car. Brussels South Charleroi is further, around 70 minutes by car. Tell us which airport you land at and we plan the transfer to match.

Do you track my flight?

Yes. We monitor your inbound flight and adjust the pickup to match, with waiting time built in. Your chauffeur is in the arrivals hall with a name board before you reach it, whether your flight lands early or runs late.

Can you also drive me within Ghent or on to Bruges and Brussels?

Yes. Beyond the airport transfer, the same chauffeur can stay with you by the hour or the day for meetings, sightseeing, and day trips to Bruges, Brussels, and into the Netherlands, with one car for the whole journey.

Why choose a chauffeur over the train?

The train is cheaper, but a chauffeur takes you door to door with no change, handles your luggage, and waits if your flight is late. After a long flight, before a meeting, or travelling with bags or a group, the comfort and certainty are worth the difference.
