The FRA–Ghent route
Frankfurt Airport to Ghent is about 453 kilometres, which we cover in just under five hours. We run along the A3 and A4 past Cologne and Aachen, cross the border into Belgium and follow the E40 across the Flemish countryside toward the city on the Leie.
Shortly before the finish we pass Evergem and the northern edge of the Ghent port before entering the city. The route stays almost entirely on motorways and is therefore easy to plan.
Meet and greet at the airport
After you land, our driver waits with a name sign in the Frankfurt Airport arrivals hall. There is nothing for you to organise – we follow your flight and are there even if it is delayed.
Once your luggage is with you, we head to the car and onto the motorway toward Belgium. No ticket, no queueing at a taxi rank.
Arriving in Ghent
We take you right to your address in Ghent – a hotel by the Korenmarkt, a flat in Gentbrugge or a company office in the port. Your journey ends exactly where you want it, not at Gent-Sint-Pieters station with a tram or taxi still ahead.
The driver helps with the bags to the door. The agreed fixed price applies whatever the traffic along the way.
About Ghent
Ghent blends medieval grandeur with the pulse of a lively student city. The Ghent Altarpiece in St Bavo’s Cathedral, Gravensteen castle and the floodlit quays of Graslei and Korenlei make arriving here an event in itself.
Many travellers come for conferences, the university or cultural festivals such as the Light Festival. The port and the short distance to Bruges and Brussels also make the city attractive for business.
Travel tips for this route
If you land in the evening, the transfer saves you the late change in Brussels, where connections onward to Ghent thin out. The private car brings you into the city centre with no time pressure.
Keep your ID or passport ready for the Aachen crossing. A break on the long route can be arranged flexibly.
Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Sint-Amandsberg (448 km, at a fixed price with real drive-time facts). Every route, fixed price and vehicle class at FR Transfer.

Transfer, taxi or train from Gent?
After the flight the difference is clear: the fixed-price transfer brings you in one car to your door in Ghent, whereas the train means an ICE to Brussels and a connecting service to Gent-Sint-Pieters – with luggage and a change. A taxi from Frankfurt over 453 kilometres runs on the meter and leaves the total open; a rental car forces you to thread the narrow Ghent old town and park after five hours. The price agreed in advance makes the private transfer the calmest solution.

Show fixed price →Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Gent take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to Gent takes about 292 minutes for 453 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.
How much is a transfer from Frankfurt Airport to Gent?
The fixed price for the 453 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 Gent?
Cross-border journeys are part of the standard service — Gent 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 waits for you at the terminal with a name sign. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Gent.
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.
