Taxi Brussels → Cologne
City centre, trade fair, Cologne Bonn Airport or your address.
About 210 km via Liège and Aachen. We drop you at the cathedral or your hotel, at the Koelnmesse exhibition centre, or at Cologne Bonn Airport. You deal with a Brussels taxi company, not a booking platform.
Distance and journey time
Measured from the Grand-Place and from Brussels Airport. The first time is for a clear road, the second for busy hours.
The route
We take the E40 via Leuven and Liège, cross into Germany at Lichtenbusch, after Eupen, then the A44 and A4 past Aachen to Cologne. The sensitive stretch is the Liège bypass; in Germany, motorway roadworks can add a quarter of an hour, which we build into the schedule.
Stops on the way
A stop in Liège or Aachen is possible on request, for a passenger or a break.
Who is this trip for?
- Trade fair at KoelnmesseSamples, displays, demo cases: the car drops you at the exhibition centre entrance in Deutz, no hauling it all onto an ICE.
- Rail strike or cancelled ICEWhen German rail is on strike or a train is cancelled, the road remains the surest way to arrive on time.
- A flight from Cologne BonnAn airport for holiday and low-cost flights: drop-off at the terminal, and on your return flight tracked and driver in arrivals with your name.
- Christmas markets and group outingsAt the end of the year Cologne draws whole groups: van for up to 7 passengers on request, minibus depending on availability, back the same evening.

- You're carrying equipmentStand, samples, heavy cases: loaded at your door, unloaded at the fair.
- The train isn't runningStrike, engineering works, sold-out train: the car leaves at the time you choose.
- You're travelling as a teamOne van instead of separate tickets and a change in Cologne.
- You leave home at nightFor an early flight from Cologne Bonn, no train leaves Brussels early enough.
