Does your ticket say NRN or DUS?
Start here, because of everything on this page this is what can cost you your flight. The airport itself is called Airport Weeze, but Ryanair sells flights there as Düsseldorf Weeze, and on a ticket or in a booking email it sometimes says only Düsseldorf. They are two different airports, a long way apart, and a taxi that drives to one does not bring you to the other.
So look at the three-letter airport code and not at the place name: NRN is Weeze, DUS is Düsseldorf. If it says DUS, you have the wrong page open and you need our Dutch page about the taxi to Düsseldorf Airport.
What a taxi to Weeze Airport costs
We do not quote a from-price here, and for this airport there is a reason that does not exist for Schiphol. Weeze is in Germany, close to the Dutch border. For someone from the border region it is a short ride, and for someone from the Randstad a long one. That difference is bigger at Weeze than at any airport we describe, and one amount would therefore be wrong for almost everybody.
A taxi from Venlo to Weeze is a different ride from a taxi from Eindhoven to Weeze Airport, with a different distance and so a different amount. A taxi to Weeze Airport therefore has no standard price, and anyone who names one is naming it for somebody else. What we can say is what the amount is made of:
| What counts | Why |
|---|---|
| The distance from your pickup address | From the border region this is a very different ride than from the Randstad |
| The vehicle | A car takes up to 4 passengers, above that a bus takes over |
| One way, or there and back | A return is booked in one go, with one amount for both ways; it becomes two rides |
| Waiting at the airport | Only if you agree on it, and then you know the cost beforehand |
Such a ride goes at a fixed price agreed in advance, and it is not covered by the meter maximum: the meter is therefore not a ceiling. Why that is so and what to look out for is explained on our Dutch page about the cross-border ride to Düsseldorf; that explanation applies here word for word. In short: The legal maximum per kilometre and per minute is a cap on the meter. A fixed price agreed in advance does not fall under it, and may therefore come out higher than the meter.
Four things to have settled before you book
On a ride within the Netherlands you can still choose the meter, with its legal ceiling. A ride across the border you book in advance at a fixed price, so everything hangs on what you agreed beforehand. These four should be in black and white before you confirm:
- The amount, as a final price. Not "about" and not "from". An estimate before departure is not an agreement, and without a legal ceiling there is nothing to point to afterwards.
- The vehicle. If you travel with a larger party or with a lot of suitcases, it is a taxi bus and not a car, and that changes the price. From nine people it becomes a bus with a driver.
- The pickup time. You choose it yourself when you book. Count back from the moment you want to be at the airport, with the driving time and a margin for rush hour in it.
- Your flight number, if you are also being picked up. Give it to whoever books the return trip: then the driver can check whether your flight lands later before he drives up.
How much time you need at the airport itself is something to ask the airport and not us. The way to count back from your departure time to your pickup time is in our guide on how long before your flight to be at Schiphol (in Dutch): the numbers there are KLM's at Schiphol, the way of counting applies anywhere.
How you see the amount before you commit
We do not publish route fares, but you do not have to phone for one either. Enter your ride on the booking page, choose your vehicle and in the second step you see the price. If you confirm, you pay it online and that amount is the final amount. No meter keeps running afterwards, not in traffic and not at the border.
You can cancel until you get in. In the first 4 minutes after booking that costs 2.5% of the fare (at least €0.99), after that it is free until your driver is within 15 minutes of you; a ride planned ahead can be cancelled up to 24 hours before pickup for the same starting fee. The full cancellation terms are in the Dutch version of our terms of use. As soon as a driver is on the way you follow him live through a link, without an account. The network is active across Europe, so a ride across the border is an ordinary booking and not an exception. You can book here yourself when you are picked up almost anywhere in the Netherlands; the destination can be anywhere. You cannot yet book a ride from Weeze Airport yourself, because that pickup address is outside the Netherlands.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi to Weeze Airport?
That depends mostly on where you get in, and at this airport more than at others: Weeze is close to the Dutch border, so from the border region it is a short ride and from the Randstad a long one. We therefore quote no from-price. A ride you book in advance at a fixed price is not covered by the meter maximum, so ask for a final price and not an estimate. Enter your ride and you see the amount before you confirm.
How much is a taxi from Nijmegen to Weeze Airport?
We do not name one amount for that ride: we do not publish route fares and the amount depends on your exact pickup address, your party and whether you also want to come back. It is one of the shorter rides to this airport, because Nijmegen lies in the border region. From Nijmegen you simply book such a ride yourself here. You can book here yourself when you are picked up almost anywhere in the Netherlands; the destination can be anywhere.
How do you get to Weeze Airport?
By car or taxi it is a ride across the border from the Netherlands. Such a ride goes at a fixed price agreed in advance, instead of on the meter. Whether a bus or train runs, and how often, is on the airport’s own website; we do not keep track of that and we do not make it up.
How can I book a cheap taxi to Düsseldorf Airport?
First make sure you book the right airport: DUS is Düsseldorf, NRN is Weeze, and they are two different rides. If it is indeed Düsseldorf, the same holds as here: you agree a fixed price in advance instead of riding on the meter, and it is not covered by the maximum fare. So ask for a final price for the whole ride, there and back separately, and compare it with what a second provider names; what that amount is made of is on our Dutch page about that ride.
Is Weeze closer to the Netherlands than Düsseldorf?
Weeze is in Germany, close to the Dutch border, and Düsseldorf is further into the country. How long your ride is therefore depends strongly on where you get in, and that is exactly why there is no amount for this airport that is right for everyone. Always look at the code on your ticket first.
Can I go to Weeze Airport with a group?
Yes. A car takes up to 4 passengers, a taxi bus takes 5 to 8 passengers, and above that it becomes several buses or a bus with a driver. With us the price is per vehicle and not per person, and luggage costs nothing extra.
