Ghent sits where the E40 meets the E17, and it shows. From here you can reach Brussels Airport as easily as Lille or the coast. People looking for a taxi in Ghent usually have a flight to catch, are arriving by train at Gent-Sint-Pieters or need to get to Ghent University Hospital.
With Offerly you describe your ride once. Checked taxi firms, private drivers and minibus companies from the region send you an offer. You compare price, vehicle and payment method, then choose. It is free and without obligation, and no account is needed: you receive an email with a personal link to your offers.
The airport taxi to Zaventem is the most requested ride: about 69 km, roughly 55 minutes without traffic. But people in Ghent also fly from Lille, Charleroi or Ostend-Bruges Airport. You pay the company you choose directly, with no middleman. You can cancel through your link as long as the time of the ride has not passed.

Road distance and driving time without traffic (OpenStreetMap). Allow extra time at rush hour.
Brussels Airport is about 69 km from Ghent. Lille Airport in Lesquin, about 89 km away or roughly 75 minutes without traffic, is a handy alternative for flights to France and the south. Add your flight number so companies can see it, and allow extra time during rush hour on the E40.
With Ghent University and several colleges, the city is full of students. The start and end of the academic year mean suitcases, boxes and sometimes a piece of furniture to move. Request a van or a delivery, or share an airport taxi with fellow students and compare the offers.
During the Ghent Festivities in July the city centre is packed, so planning ahead pays off. For a trade fair at Flanders Expo or a KAA Gent home match you also want a smooth ride there and back. Request a return trip or a chauffeur by the hour for an evening with several stops.
The port area along the Ghent-Terneuzen canal attracts shipping and business visitors. Patients and visitors to Ghent University Hospital often plan their ride in advance. For a group of 9 or more, request a minibus; from 5 people, a van will do.
