Cologne ↔ Antwerp transport: daily return service

Request Cologne–Antwerp transport

Enter pickup, delivery, preferred day, dimensions and weight. The relevant daily route segment, available capacity and your time windows are checked.

Daily schedule: Cologne → Antwerp → Cologne

The service runs every day in both directions: from the Cologne area to Antwerp and back on the same day. Businesses can request shipments to Belgium and return shipments to Cologne and its surrounding cities. Specific collection, delivery and return departure times are coordinated with the booked stops for the selected day and confirmed before the shipment is accepted. Loading times and recipient availability are part of this planning. The daily outward-and-return schedule describes the vehicle trip. Collection and delivery of an individual shipment on your preferred day are checked against its time windows, the actual itinerary and available capacity.

Pallet transport: full route from €130, segments from €50

Starting prices are per pallet. The final price is determined from your shipment details and the actual trip.

Cologne ↔ Antwerp: pallet from €130

Starting price per pallet for the full route in the direction booked. Dimensions, weight, loading requirements and exact addresses are included in the quote.

Pallet route segments from €50

For compatible route segments, such as Aachen–Antwerp or Genk–Antwerp. Acceptance and pricing depend on the booked segment and available capacity.

Pickup in Cologne and surrounding business areas

You do not need to bring your shipment to Cologne yourself: enter your actual business, warehouse or collection address. Pickup and delivery in the Cologne area can be integrated into the trip when additional driving and loading time fit the daily return schedule. Cologne and its western surroundings: Hürth, Frechen, Pulheim, Brühl, Wesseling, Bergheim, Kerpen and Erftstadt. Northern Rhineland: Leverkusen, Langenfeld, Monheim am Rhein, Dormagen, Neuss and Düsseldorf. Surrounding Bergisches Land: Bergisch Gladbach, Rösrath, Solingen, Remscheid and Wuppertal. Bonn and Rhein-Sieg: Bonn, Bornheim, Troisdorf, Siegburg, Sankt Augustin and Niederkassel. These cities form the potential regional catchment area. They are not a collection round covering every city every day. Each address, collection window and existing booking is checked. Other nearby locations can be requested using the complete address.

Route to Antwerp: via Aachen, South Limburg and Genk

The reference corridor follows the A4 via the Aachen area, the Dutch A76 and the Belgian E314/E313 to Antwerp. The return trip connects the same regions in reverse. The actual roads are planned around pickup addresses, traffic and booked stops. Germany: the Frechen and Kerpen area, Düren, Eschweiler and Aachen. The Netherlands: the Heerlen, Geleen and Stein area along the A76. Belgium: the Maasmechelen and Genk area along the E314, followed by Lummen, Beringen, Geel, Herentals, Ranst and Wommelgem in the corridor towards Antwerp. Addresses in Hasselt or Maastricht can also be requested. Depending on the trip, they require a deviation from the direct corridor and are checked against the additional distance and time. The locations listed are possible pickup and delivery points, not guaranteed compulsory stops. The road corridor is informed by the ADAC Cologne–Antwerp route description.

Route segments and return loads can also be requested

Request the segment you need in the appropriate direction. Each example is checked for the actual trip.

Cologne / Leverkusen ↔ Antwerp

For shipments between the Cologne catchment area and Antwerp. Collection at your address is coordinated with the trip.

Aachen / Eschweiler ↔ Antwerp

Collect or deliver in the western German section when the address, loading time and available capacity are compatible.

Geleen / Genk ↔ Antwerp

Compatible shipments from South Limburg or the Belgian corridor can use part of the scheduled trip.

Which shipments can travel on the line?

Pallets, boxes, parcels, documents, spare parts and samples: shipment details and loading requirements determine suitable capacity.

Pallets and consolidated goods

For palletised goods and components. Provide quantity, length, width, height and actual total weight.

Boxes and parcels

Single or multiple packages. Dimensions and weight of each package help check the remaining load space.

Documents and business mail

Small business shipments can be planned when the intended collection and delivery windows are compatible.

Spare parts and samples

For components and samples moving between businesses. For urgent requests, include the latest acceptable delivery window.

Flexible stops and shared capacity for each route segment

A pickup or delivery point does not need to be an existing fixed stop. New stops can be inserted when the permitted deviation, additional time and available capacity are compatible. Existing appointments and the return journey must also fit within the same day. For LTL and shared-capacity transport, a shipment occupies only the segment between its pickup and delivery. For example, capacity released by unloading in Genk can be checked for a subsequent shipment to Antwerp. A return load is checked separately for the return segment. This allows different shipments to be combined along the line. Acceptance of a Cologne-area collection or an additional stop en route depends on checking the actual trip.
