Related questions
Why would anyone land in Brussels for Amsterdam?
A better fare, a direct flight from your US city or a trip that starts in Belgium. The car turns the landing into one ride to your Amsterdam door instead of a train with luggage.
Is it cheaper for a group?
Per person, yes: the price is per car, so 7 people in a Van Class car share about €897.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. Bruges, Antwerp or Ghent can be added as a stop; tell us when you book and the stop is included in one fixed quote.
Do I need a passport at the Belgian–Dutch border?
Keep it at hand. Both countries are in the Schengen area, yet temporary checks at internal borders do occur, and the passport is with you from the flight anyway.
