About the Budapest to Antwerp shipping route by road

Budapest to Antwerp by road: 1,396 km of driving distance, north west from Hungary to Belgium. The straight line is 1,136 km.

Transit time for one driver is about 24 h 42 min, of which 13 h 42 min at the wheel. We assume 9 driving hours a day and an 11 hour rest between shifts, as EU drivers' hours rules require. A two driver team can keep the truck moving and cut the trucking transit time almost in half.

Road freight on Budapest to Antwerp is booked as FTL (a full truck for one shipper) or LTL and groupage (you pay for the pallet places you use). FTL is faster and safer for high value goods; groupage is cheaper for a few pallets but adds consolidation time. The trip crosses from Hungary into Belgium, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.

By rail the same trip is 1,404 km and takes about 46 h 48 min at freight train speed.
