The Drive to Rüsselsheim

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Rüsselsheim covers 383 km (238 miles) and typically takes 4 h 1 m. It is a long journey that crosses into Germany, so a private transfer saves you from juggling several connections with luggage. This route is booked less often than the busiest ones, but it is available on request just like any other. Allow extra time if you travel during rush hour, on a Friday afternoon or at the start and end of school holidays, as traffic around the larger cities along the way can slow things down. Drivers usually plan a short break on a trip of this length, which is worth remembering if you have a tight onward schedule.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and families of up to four, the Private Taxi is the simplest choice. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone travels together in one vehicle. This suits business delegations, sports teams, tour groups and wedding parties heading to the Rhine-Main region. On a four-hour drive, comfort matters, so pick a vehicle with some spare room for luggage rather than the smallest one that fits your headcount.

Rüsselsheim as a Destination

Rüsselsheim am Main is a city in the German state of Hesse, on the Main river between Frankfurt and Mainz. It is best known as the home of the car maker Opel, whose history shapes much of the city's identity. Its location in the Rhine-Main area makes it a practical base for business trips and for onward travel to the surrounding cities.

Places to Stay Nearby

I cannot name long-established hotels in Rüsselsheim itself with full confidence, so here are well-known options in nearby Mainz, the state capital of Rhineland-Palatinate on the opposite bank of the Main:

• Hilton Mainz, a large hotel close to the Rhine
• Hyatt Regency Mainz, also on the Rhine riverfront
