Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (A, B or C), after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name.

Essen is the largest city of the Ruhr area, about 35 km north-east of the airport. The drive uses the A44 and the A52 motorway towards Essen, normally 30 to 35 minutes. The Ruhr has dense motorway traffic during rush hours, especially on the A40 and A52. Essen's city centre has a low-emission zone that covers the inner ring and requires a sticker.
Essen's centre sits around the Hauptbahnhof, the Kettwiger Straße shopping street and the Rathenau Platz. The Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage site lies about 5 km north-east of the centre, and the Grugapark and the Messe Essen are to the south. Most business hotels are within a walking distance of the Hauptbahnhof or near the Messe. Kettwiger Straße is a pedestrian zone, so the car stops at the nearest street open to traffic.
Public transport instead: Rheinbahn / DB Regio train S11, then regional train from Düsseldorf Flughafen Terminal to Düsseldorf Hbf, then Düsseldorf Hbf to Essen Hauptbahnhof, S11 every 20 minutes; regional trains several times per hour, 1 change. No fully direct train; the usual route is the S11 to Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof and a regional train to Essen Hauptbahnhof, with one change.
