Rivierenland – ‘river land’ – owes its name to the Dijle, Nete, Rupel and Scheldt, which all meet here. The region sits right between Antwerp and Brussels, which is good news for travellers: Brussels Airport is never far from Mechelen or Duffel. Even so, many people would rather not take the train or their own car. An early flight, a family with suitcases or simply no wish to pay for parking: being picked up at home is far more relaxing.

With GateRide, you book your ride at one fixed price per town, shown in advance in the calculator. Your driver comes to you, whether you live in a terraced house in Lier, a new-build flat by the Dijle or on a housing estate in Sint-Katelijne-Waver. No pickup surcharge, no meter, no extra charge when the E19 is busy. You pay cash on the day.

To Brussels Airport, Charleroi and beyond

From Mechelen, Bonheiden and Duffel, your driver usually takes the E19 towards Brussels and joins the Ring near Machelen. It is a short ride, but the Vilvoorde viaduct and rush-hour traffic into Brussels can be unpredictable, so a margin is always built in. From Klein-Brabant – Bornem, Puurs-Sint-Amands or Willebroek – the route tends to run via the A12 and the south of the Rupel area.

Flying low-cost from Charleroi? Then the ride follows the Brussels Ring southwards. And with Antwerp just up the road, Amsterdam Schiphol via the E19 heading north is an option too. From Lier, the Ranst interchange and the E34 get you quickly towards Eindhoven. Düsseldorf, Cologne Bonn and Liège are also possible: the price table shows the fixed fare from your town to each airport.

Why not just take the train from Mechelen?

Mechelen station has good rail links to the airport, and if you travel light that works fine. But if you live in Putte, Bornem or Boom, you first have to get to the station. At four in the morning, with suitcases and children, that is a different story. A door-to-departures ride spares you all that, and on the way home you will not be left waiting on a platform at midnight.

Because the owner drives every ride himself, you know who is coming to collect you. Your request is reviewed personally and confirmed by email. On your return, your driver waits in the arrivals hall; waiting time after landing is included in the price.

Airport transfers in Mechelen & Rivierenland

Can the driver reach my door in Mechelen city centre?

Usually, yes – via the loops of the circulation plan. If your address is in a pedestrian zone, agree a meeting point close by in your request.

Brussels Airport is so close – does a fixed price really make sense?

That is exactly why it does. You know in advance what you will pay, with no meter and no surcharge for traffic on the E19 or the Ring. You will find the price for your town in the calculator on this page.

Do you also cover Klein-Brabant and the Rupel area?

Yes. Bornem, Puurs-Sint-Amands, Willebroek, Boom and their surrounding villages each have a fixed price per airport.

What if my return flight is delayed?

Enter your flight number when you book and, if you are landing later, let your driver know by phone or WhatsApp message. Flights are not tracked automatically.

Can I book my return ride at the same time?
