After the drive from Ekeren you are set down at the terminal your airline departs from (T1 or T3), with no walk between terminals. That leaves plenty of time before check-in, with no parking hunt or shuttle.
Arriving: from the terminal to Ekeren

The drive ends at your door in Ekeren, with help unloading the luggage. No waiting for a taxi or train after landing — you carry straight on.
About Ekeren: location & connections
Home to roughly 23,300 people, Ekeren lies in the Provincie Antwerpen district (Flandern). The decisive factor for the transfer is the motorway link toward Frankfurt, which is directly in place here.

Travel tips for both directions
Leaving Ekeren, aim to arrive at the terminal around 6.5 hours ahead of departure; allow more for intercontinental flights. For night departures and connecting flights, an extra time buffer pays off.
For the onward drive to Ekeren there is nothing to arrange after landing — the driver waits, even if baggage reclaim or passport control run long. Stops or errands on the way can be agreed with the driver in advance.

How long does the transfer from Ekeren to Frankfurt Airport take?
The drive from Ekeren to Frankfurt Airport takes about 254 minutes for 401 km in normal traffic. Your driver adds roughly 50 minutes of buffer for rush hour and roadworks.
How early should I leave Ekeren for Frankfurt Airport?
Leave Ekeren about 7 h 4 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 8 h 4 min for long-haul. That is 254 minutes of driving, 50 minutes of traffic buffer and 2 or 3 hours at the terminal. The booking form proposes the pickup time for you.
How much is a transfer from Ekeren to Frankfurt Airport?
The fixed price for the 401 km route is shown in the booking form before you book and never changes afterwards — regardless of traffic, time of day, weekday or how long the drive actually takes. It depends on the vehicle class and the distance, not on a meter.
Do you drive across the border to Ekeren?
Cross-border journeys are part of the standard service — Ekeren is served at a fixed price exactly like German destinations, and we cover Germany plus 10 neighbouring countries in total. Tolls, road vignettes and border formalities are included in the price.
How much luggage fits in each vehicle?
The sedan classes take 2 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 7 suitcases plus 5 cabin bags for up to 8 passengers. Declare oversized items such as skis, a golf bag or a pushchair when booking so the right class is dispatched.
Is this a taxi or a chauffeur service?
This is a chauffeur service: the journey is booked in advance, the price is fixed before you book and no meter runs. Your driver wears a suit, greets you by name and helps with the luggage — in the Business and First Class categories it is a limousine service with a Mercedes E- or S-Class. You hail a taxi at a rank; a chauffeur is booked to the minute in Ekeren. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Ekeren.
Can I pay the driver by card?
Card payment is accepted directly in the vehicle — as is cash or paying online in advance, and business customers can be invoiced. You receive a receipt with VAT shown either way.
Can I travel with an infant or child seat?
A child seat, booster or infant carrier is selected during booking and fitted by the driver before pickup. State the child's age so the correct size group is installed.
How does free cancellation work?
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the agreed pickup time. After that a cancellation fee may apply; at the pickup address in Ekeren 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Ekeren take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Ekeren takes about 254 minutes for 401 km in normal traffic. That is measured from the meeting point inside the terminal, not from touchdown.
Where does my driver meet me at Terminal 1 or 3?
The meeting point is the arrivals hall of your terminal — your driver stands just beyond the customs exit holding a name sign and walks you to the vehicle. The terminal follows from the flight number you give when booking, and a diversion to 1 or 3 still gets you found.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Pickup is linked to your flight number and shifts automatically with the actual landing time — at no extra charge. 60 minutes of waiting are included after touchdown so baggage reclaim and passport control are covered.
