The Drive to Aalter-Brug

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Aalter-Brug covers 87 km (54 miles) and typically takes about 58 minutes. That estimate assumes normal traffic. The Brussels ring road and the motorways heading towards West Flanders can slow down noticeably during weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is wise to allow extra time then. Heavy rain, roadworks and incidents can also add minutes to the journey.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other transfer we offer. A private vehicle takes you directly to your address without changes or waiting for connections, which is helpful after a long flight or with a lot of luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on the size of your group and the amount of luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable choice for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: well suited to teams, wedding parties, school groups and company outings.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups that want to arrive together in a single vehicle.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle's capacity, or you are travelling with sports gear or oversized luggage, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room.

About Aalter-Brug

Aalter-Brug lies in the Aalter area of East Flanders, in the Flemish countryside between Ghent and Bruges. It is a quiet, largely residential place rather than a major tourist destination. Many travellers come here to visit family, attend business appointments in the region, or use it as a base for day trips to nearby historic cities. Having your own transfer is particularly convenient here, since a door-to-door ride is simpler than arranging onward local transport from a larger station.
