Ostend is the largest city on the Belgian coast. People live here all year round, but in summer and during school holidays thousands of tourists join them. They arrive by train, change to the coast tram or look for a taxi to their seafront apartment. The harbour, the Kursaal and the Wellington racecourse draw plenty of visitors as well.

So a taxi in Ostend is often about luggage and timing: a family with suitcases heading for Brussels Airport, an early flight from Ostend's own airport, or a ride home after an evening at the casino. With Offerly you fill in one request and checked transport companies within 50 km send you their offers.

You compare price, vehicle and payment method and pay the chosen company directly. Requesting and comparing is free and without obligation. No account is needed: you receive an email with a personal link to your offers.
