Excellent comfortable ride to the Brussels Airport from the city. Mohamed was punctual and friendly. I had requested a very early pickup. I was originally planning on taking the train to the airport but after almost two weeks of travelling, the taxi service was a great comfort and one less thing I had to navigate.
Used AirportTaxis so many times. Always good service at the cheapest rates. Driver appointed day before , phone number to contact driver available. Always just in time as asked. App needs update and refreshments, website works very wel. Easy to cancel or change bookings, money within two days back on the account.
We had excellent service from Nuno V. He arrived very early and let us know close to our scheduled pick up time (5:50 am) that he was at our place. He told me he had already transported another traveller earlier; so, our early flight was not a concern for him.
Was very happy with this taxi company . Used it for airport transfers in Germany. Booking online was easy and got instant confirmation . Email communication on some additional questions was also quick and reliable. Cars were in top condition.
Driver was very professional even when my flight was delayed he waited the extra time for me to arrive.
