Taxi from Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel to the Brussels airports

Flying from Brussels Airport (Zaventem) or Brussels South Charleroi? From Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, a private taxi takes you straight to the departure hall at a fixed price you see upfront. No transfers, no dragging suitcases and no meter running across the border.

We are deliberately affordable: our fixed prices are well below what a metered taxi would charge for a cross-border ride like this. Travelling with more people makes it genuinely cheap per person: a minibus carries up to 8 passengers for one fixed amount for the whole vehicle.

By train to Zaventem you pay per person and travel with transfers; for Charleroi public transport barely gets you there without hassle. The taxi from Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel rides direct, at the time you choose, for one fixed amount per vehicle.
