Calculate your price to Eindhoven Airport
Eindhoven Airport is effectively the local airport for the north and east of the Kempen. For a city break in Porto, a week in the Canary Islands or a visit to family in Eastern Europe, it is often the most convenient choice: a compact airport, plenty of low-cost routes and a shorter drive than to Brussels. Public transport is another story, as there is no simple connection between the Kempen villages and Eindhoven.
With GateRide you get in at home and cross the border in one go. Your driver loads your luggage and there is nothing for you to worry about: no parking space to find and no ticket to pay when you get back. The price is fixed in advance for your town, and you pay in cash on the day.

Two roads to Eindhoven
If you live around Turnhout, Oud-Turnhout, Arendonk or Retie, your driver usually takes the E34. Across the border it becomes the A67 and runs past Eersel and Veldhoven to the west side of Eindhoven, where the airport is.
Living in Mol, Dessel, Balen or Lommel? Then the ride often goes via Lommel and the N69 through Valkenswaard towards Eindhoven. Which road your driver takes depends on your address and the traffic at the time. The price stays the same either way.
Timing: short, but don’t cut it fine
Because the drive is relatively short, you can leave a little later than for Brussels Airport, but stick to the general rule: be at the airport two to three hours before departure. During school holidays even a smaller airport can get busy at the check-in desks. For a morning flight, keep the rush hour around Eindhoven in mind, as the motorways around the city fill up quickly on weekdays.
You choose the time your driver arrives at your door. The owner reviews your request personally and confirms it by email.
The return trip from Eindhoven
When you come back, your driver waits for you in the arrivals hall, at the main exit. Add your flight number when you book and choose a pickup time after landing; waiting time is already included in the price. If your flight is delayed, let your driver know by phone or WhatsApp, as flights are not tracked automatically. Once your outward trip is booked, ‘Book return trip’ fills in your details for the way home.
