Amsterdam to Brussels by car service — how long does it take and how much is it?
About 2¾ hours without traffic for the roughly 205 km from central Amsterdam to the Grand-Place, more when the Antwerp ring is busy, and about €701 in Business Class, €910 in Van Class or €1,392 in First Class per car, one way, fixed when you book. Direct trains also link Amsterdam and Schiphol with Brussels, so the car earns its price when you travel as a group, carry luggage or want to go from door to door without changing.
