Gent Luchthavenvervoer
Kalken, a district of Laarne, sits quietly between the Scheldt and the E17 — yet with our airport transfer you're at Brussels Airport in under an hour. We pick you up at home, even on the rural streets around Kalken village and the Kalkense Meersen.
Our chauffeurs drive daily from the Laarne-Kalken area to Zaventem, Charleroi and beyond. You book online in two minutes, receive instant confirmation, and pay the fixed price agreed in advance.
Precisely because public transport in Kalken is limited, a reliable transfer makes the biggest difference here: no need to ask family for a lift, no car sitting on an expensive airport car park for two weeks.
Every airport within reach from Kalken
Most travellers from Kalken depart via Brussels Airport in Zaventem — logical, since it has the widest range of flights and the ride is comfortably short. We drop you at the right departures hall and meet you on arrival with a name board, whatever time your flight lands.
Flying with Ryanair or Wizz Air? Our transfer takes you straight to Charleroi (Brussels South). Especially for the notorious 6am flights, a chauffeur arriving punctually at 3am makes all the difference between stress and a relaxed departure.
For longer destinations we're just as happy to drive you to Amsterdam Schiphol or Paris Charles de Gaulle: direct, tolls included, with a chauffeur who knows the terminals and drops you at exactly the right departures level. Ostend (charter flights), Lille-Lesquin, Antwerp and the Lille Europe TGV station are also part of our regular service area.

Our vehicles for Kalken
You choose your comfort level — every vehicle is black, recent and spotless, with water on board and a chauffeur in a suit.
The sedan is the smart choice for one to three travellers with normal luggage. Travelling with four or more, or with lots of suitcases, skis or a buggy, the minivan is surprisingly affordable: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, up to seven passengers and eight suitcases. The Luxury Sedan, finally, is our first-class experience — the quietest car, the most legroom, and the favourite of business travellers from Kalken.
Why a private transfer from Kalken is the smartest choice
Do the maths for your next trip. Two weeks of parking at Brussels Airport easily costs €150 to €250 — before fuel and the stress of finding a spot. The train or bus from Kalken means dragging suitcases, changing, and hoping the connection works out; for a 6am flight there's often no connection at all. And asking family or friends? That feels like a favour every single time.
A private transfer solves all of that in one go: one fixed price for the whole vehicle (up to seven people), departing exactly when you want, and a chauffeur who drops you right back at your door on return. No parking costs, no changing, no asking favours. For families and groups from Kalken it's also often the cheapest option per person — check it with our calculator and you'll see instantly.
Business airport transfers in Kalken
Companies and self-employed professionals from Kalken rely on us for transfers of staff, clients and international guests. You receive a proper invoice with VAT number, can open a corporate account for recurring rides, and count on absolute discretion: our chauffeurs are used to confidential conversations in the back seat and let the client's own mood set the tone — conversation or silence.
Luggage, child seats and extras
As standard we allow three large suitcases plus hand luggage per sedan, and up to eight suitcases per minivan. Golf bags, skis, a pram or a folding bike? Mention it when booking and the right vehicle will be guaranteed at your door in Kalken. We provide child seats and booster seats free of charge — just tell us the children's ages. A stopover to pick someone up, or a pickup at two addresses: we arrange that too, just mention it in advance.
Practical tips for your departure from Kalken
A smooth departure starts with good timing. For European flights we recommend being at the airport two hours before departure, three hours for intercontinental flights. We add the driving time from Kalken and a safety margin for traffic, and suggest the ideal pickup time right at booking — you don't need to calculate anything yourself.
Get your travel documents ready the evening before (ID card or passport, visa if needed), check in online if your airline allows it, and weigh your suitcases at home — it saves arguments at the counter. Departing in winter? Bear in mind fog or icy roads: our chauffeurs automatically build in extra margin then. And save our number +32 496 42 90 00 in your phone: one message sorts out any question on the way or a changed flight.
Your return trip to Kalken is sorted too
Book the outbound and return trip together: just give us your return flight when booking. We track that flight in real time — land earlier or later, and the schedule adjusts automatically. Your chauffeur waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with your luggage, and drives you straight home to Kalken. That's how your trip ends exactly as it began: comfortable, punctual and worry-free.
Why travellers from Kalken choose us
Because we do what we promise — every single ride. The price you see when booking is the price you pay: no night surcharge, no luggage fees, no surprises afterwards. Our chauffeurs are professionals in suits who arrive five minutes early, load your suitcases, and know the smoothest route, even when traffic doesn't cooperate.
On top of that comes the technology: we track your flight number in real time, automatically adjust the pickup time for delays, and never charge waiting fees at the airport. Child seats are free, water on board is standard, and business clients receive a proper invoice with VAT number. Over 12,000 successful transfers later, that's why customers from Kalken and the wider Ghent region keep coming back.
