Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Achterbos

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without wandering around the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Achterbos

The route covers 95 km (59 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 10 m by road. That is a fair distance for a transfer, so it helps to have a driver who knows the roads and takes you door to door without any changes along the way. Achterbos is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other.

Traffic around Brussels and on the main motorways is the main factor that can stretch the journey. Weekday morning and late afternoon rush hours are the most likely times for delays, so if you have a fixed appointment or a connecting booking at the other end, build in a comfortable buffer. Outside peak hours the trip usually runs close to the stated time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you pick depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families with standard luggage.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a fourth seat for a slightly larger party travelling light.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats is the practical choice for groups with more bags, or for families with extra gear.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats cover larger groups such as events, clubs, school parties or company outings, with up to 48 passengers in a single vehicle.

If your group sits close to the limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky items such as sports equipment or prams, choose the next size up so everyone travels comfortably for the 1 h 10 m ride.

About Achterbos

Achterbos is a small place in Belgium, and it is best known to those who live in or visit the area. Because smaller locations can share a name or have several access roads, it is worth confirming the exact address or a nearby landmark when you book. That way the driver can take you straight to your door at the end of the 95 km journey.
