The Drive to Helmstedt

The route covers 569 km (354 miles) and typically takes 5 h 58 m. It leads from Belgium across the Netherlands and Germany towards Lower Saxony, so it is a long day on the road however you plan it. Helmstedt is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time for heavy traffic, roadworks or busy holiday weekends, and tell your driver if you would like a break along the way. If you are travelling late in the day, it is worth planning your arrival at your accommodation in advance.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

A Private Taxi suits individual travellers, couples and families of up to four passengers. For larger parties there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. On a journey of almost six hours, extra space makes a real difference, so choose a vehicle with a little room to spare if you are carrying a lot of luggage. Business delegations, school groups and wedding parties can all travel together in a single vehicle instead of splitting up.

Helmstedt as a Destination

Helmstedt is a town in Lower Saxony, close to the border with Saxony-Anhalt. Many people know it from the Helmstedt-Marienborn crossing on the autobahn, which was one of the main checkpoints between West and East Germany. The town also has a historic university past, with the Academia Julia founded in the sixteenth century, and its old centre is pleasant for a short walk after a long journey.
