How it works

Just send a message.

A dedicated manager, the whole trip.

No call centre and no app. One WhatsApp thread with the same manager, from the first message to the last ride, and an answer within 15 minutes.

Plans change. That's fine.

A stand meeting that runs long, an extra colleague, a distributor dinner moved to the Altstadt: send one message and we re-plan. No new booking, no fee for changes within the booked time.

A day at MEDICA with a chauffeur

From the lobby to the last dinner. One car.

  1. 08:45

    Hotel in Cologne → Messe

    Düsseldorf was fully booked, so the hotel is in Cologne. The chauffeur is in the lobby at 08:45; emails done on the motorway, drop-off at Eingang Nord before the halls open at 10:00.

  2. 12:30

    Distributor lunch on Königsallee

    Same car, same chauffeur. Lunch with a distributor on Königsallee, and straight back to the halls for the afternoon.

  3. 18:00

    Halls close

    Out through Eingang Ost or Süd while the queues at the taxi ranks grow. Laptop open before you reach the A44.

  4. 20:00

    Dinner in the Altstadt

    The car stays outside. Then back to Cologne, Neuss or wherever your hotel is, and the same chauffeur is in the lobby tomorrow morning.

We know Messe Düsseldorf

Pick-up where the crowd isn't.

MEDICA and COMPAMED fill the halls of Messe Düsseldorf with more than 5,500 exhibitors from 70 countries. Düsseldorf hotels are booked months ahead, so many visitors stay in Cologne, Neuss or the Ruhr, and the drive becomes part of the day. Your chauffeur plans it for you.

DUS airport → Messe Düsseldorf
10–15 min
Messe → Königsallee hotels (Breidenbacher Hof, InterContinental, Steigenberger Icon Parkhotel)
20–25 min
Messe → Neuss
25–35 min
Messe → Cologne city centre
45–60 min
Pick-up points we use
  • Eingang Nord

    The main entrance by the U-Bahn stop, split into Nord A, B and D. We confirm the exact one.

  • Eingang Ost

    Stockumer Kirchstraße. A good alternative when the north side is crowded.

  • Eingang Süd / CCD Süd

    By the Congress Center, for conference sessions and meetings.

  • Your hotel lobby

    The chauffeur waits inside and carries the luggage.

Two hotels, one route

A medtech team of five was split between hotels in Neuss and Cologne because Düsseldorf was full. One V-Class collected everyone each morning in a fixed order and had them at Eingang Nord before the halls opened.

The late arrival at DUS

A distributor's flight into DUS landed after 22:00, with his hotel 40 minutes away in Essen. The chauffeur met him in arrivals with a name board, and he was at the stand at 10:00 the next morning, rested.

Questions before you book
