Local travel and road access
The quickest routes use the A2 and A58 motorways with a signed exit for Eindhoven Airport. Follow the signs to exit 29 for the airport. Expect the airport approach to use the city ring road.
Traffic on the A2 and A58 can increase around holiday weekends and planned road works. Allow extra time when you collect an 8 Seater on busy weekends or during maintenance works. Regional traffic reports show recent increases on these routes.
Parking and transfer notes
P1 is the closest short-stay car park to the terminal. P3 and the other long-stay options are a short shuttle or walk away. Book P1 for the fastest collection if you need to load a large group.
Several off-airport park and ride providers offer shuttle buses and indoor parking. These services can be cheaper for week-long hires, but add 10 to 20 minutes for transfers.
Practical tips for hiring an 8 Seater
Bring a full driving licence and a credit card for the deposit. Some providers accept debit cards but policies differ by company.
Measure luggage before booking if you need all seats plus trunk space. If luggage is large, reserve a roof box or trailer in advance.
Check vehicle height if you plan to use car parks with height limits. Some underground car parks have low clearance. Ask the rental company when you book.
