One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to an institute on Campus Melaten, the terminal to a hotel near the Soers for CHIO, or an address in the old town to DUS for a long-haul departure. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: DUS to your hotel in Aachen at the start of CHIO week, and back to the terminal after the final competition. For a sponsor's guests or a research team with a fixed programme, the return over the longest route around DUS is then settled from day one. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pickup times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at DUS, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

Düsseldorf Airport to Aachen: Route and Drive Time

Aachen lies on Germany's western edge, south-west of the airport, where the country meets the Netherlands and Belgium. The drive is 93 km and takes 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes: the route crosses the Rhine and runs west mostly on the A44, with short stretches of the A46 and A57, before the A544 brings you into the city.

The end of the trip depends on the part of Aachen you need. RWTH Aachen reaches well beyond the centre, as far as the Hörn and Campus Melaten in the west, the Soers with the CHIO grounds lies north of the centre, and the old town around the cathedral sits inside a low-emission zone.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. With the booking, send the flight number and the full address, with the institute or building for RWTH.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Düsseldorf Airport

Aachen has a nearer airport, but for scheduled and long-haul flights DUS is often the better fit. All its passenger flights are handled in one terminal with three piers, so you leave through the same building whatever your airline.

For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules. A driverless shuttle, the SkyTrain, takes rail passengers from the terminal to the airport station in about seven minutes; a car starts at the terminal.

Check the airport name on your ticket. Maastricht Aachen Airport carries the city's name but is a different airport, across the border in the Netherlands. If your ticket shows MST rather than DUS, the transfer is booked from there.

Arriving at Your Address in Aachen

Charlemagne's cathedral and the medieval town hall stand at the heart of Aachen, and more than 50,000 students live in the city. As one of Europe's largest technical universities, RWTH stretches across the Hörn to Campus Melaten, a site shared by research institutes and companies.

Since 2016 the area inside the outer ring road has been a low-emission zone, open only to cars with a green sticker, and the squares around the cathedral are busy on market days. If your hotel is in the old town, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.

For Campus Melaten or an institute at the Hörn, the building or institute name is the useful detail, as the campus is spread out. Congresses are held at the Eurogress in the Kurpark, on Monheimsallee, so name the hall or entrance when you book.

From Aachen Back to Düsseldorf Airport

For the way back, plan with the length of the drive: 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes from Aachen to the terminal, more when the A44 is busy. This is the longest of the city routes around DUS, so the margin matters. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

At DUS, every departure uses the one terminal, and the car needs nothing more than your flight number.

On the city side, the Christmas market and CHIO week change the picture. In 2026 the market runs from 20 November to 23 December on the squares between the cathedral and the town hall, and a pickup in the old town on those evenings takes longer. During CHIO, give a hotel address rather than the Soers as the starting point; bus 51 and a shuttle run between the Hauptbahnhof and the Soers on event days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

Can the car take me from DUS straight to Aachen Hauptbahnhof for a Eurostar?

Yes, the station is an address like any other. Eurostar trains between Paris, Brussels, Liège, Aachen and Cologne call there five times a day, and ICE trains between Brussels and Frankfurt every two hours. Allow for the drive of 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes.

What are the night rules at Düsseldorf Airport for a transfer to Aachen?

Scheduled take-offs are not planned between 22:00 and 06:00, landings may run an hour longer, and delayed landings from 23:30 need a special permit. Add the flight number to the booking; after a landing late in the evening, the drive to Aachen takes up to 1 hour 35 minutes.

Which halls does the Eurogress have, and what should the booking say?

The Eurogress, Monheimsallee 48 in the Kurpark, has three halls for 1,700, 650 and 430 people and 16 conference rooms. Name the hall or the entrance you need, as the building lies between a casino and a hotel.

Can the car take us to the Three-Country Point on the Vaalserberg?

The Vaalserberg, 322.4 m high, is in Dutch Limburg by Vaals and marks the meeting point of Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium; the German part falls within Aachen's city limits. The Belgian tower is 50 m high, the Dutch one 35 m. Name the side you want in the booking.

Can the same car go on from Aachen to Liège-Guillemins station?

Yes, as one booking. The station in Liège, designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 2009, is served by Eurostar and by ICE trains between Brussels and Frankfurt. Liège is 57 km from Aachen; the border formula below applies.

What do you need to know about Düsseldorf Airport in 2026–2027?

CHIO Aachen 2027 opens with vaulting and para dressage on 25 June, and the opening ceremony is on 29 June. TEFAF Maastricht is listed for 13 to 18 March 2027; Germany's notified checks at its internal land borders run until 15 March 2027, which matters for a trip there. Carry the travel documents your nationality and itinerary require.
