My flight leaves early from Brussels Airport — can a car take me from my Amsterdam hotel?
Yes: Brussels Airport is about 201 km (125 miles) from central Amsterdam, some 2 h 34 on a clear road, so for a 10:00 flight to the US, with 3 hours at the airport, the car leaves your hotel at about 3:56. The price is about €687 per car in Business Class, fixed at booking and the same at night as by day.

Related questions
Would it be easier to sleep near Brussels Airport?
For a very early flight, it can be: ride down the evening before at the same price per car, sleep near the airport and walk to check-in. For a mid-morning flight, the early drive from Amsterdam is usually the simpler plan.
Is there a train early enough?
The Intercity Brussels connects Amsterdam and Schiphol with Brussels Airport; whether an early enough train runs depends on the day, so check the NS planner. If no train gets you there by the time your airline asks, the car is the option that fits.
What if my flight is from Brussels-Midi by train instead?
The same car takes you to the station; Brussels city is about the same distance as the airport, and the price follows the address.
