Traffic jams cost entrepreneurs thousands of euros per year, while the solution costs only €26.50 per hour

Stuck in traffic for two hours every day? That’s the reality for many Belgian entrepreneurs and professionals. Over a week, that adds up to ten hours—more than an entire workday. Over a year? A staggering 480 hours, or twelve full workweeks.

This lost time doesn’t just affect your mood—it hits your wallet too. Mobility experts estimate that traffic congestion costs Belgian businesses billions of euros annually. Simply put: every minute you spend stuck in traffic is a minute you’re not creating value.

Maximum €26.50 per hour to stay productive

Smart entrepreneurs look for ways to use their time more efficiently. A private driver through Get Driven is one of the simplest solutions. For a maximum of €26.50 per hour, a driver takes over the wheel while you work. A fraction of what an hour of standstill costs you.

With a driver, you can answer emails, take calls, or prepare for an important meeting. Or you can choose to unwind—listen to a podcast or simply relax, instead of getting frustrated behind the wheel.

From cost to investment

Let someone else drive, and you’ll earn your time back—twice over. If you charge €100 per hour as an entrepreneur, spending ten hours per week in traffic means a loss of €1,000. Over a year, that’s €48,000 gone. Meanwhile, hiring a driver for the same amount of time would cost a maximum of €12,720 per year.

The choice is clear: your productivity, peace of mind, and time are worth far more than the cost of a driver. The real price of traffic jams isn’t just in lost hours—it’s in missed opportunities. Stop wasting time and let yourself be driven.
