Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Achterbroek

The drive from Zaventem to Achterbroek

The route covers 71 km (44 miles) and typically takes about 53 minutes. Most of the journey runs north on motorways, so the time is fairly predictable outside peak hours. Traffic around Brussels and in the Antwerp region can build up on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch. Bad weather and roadworks can also add minutes. A private transfer means you travel door to door without changing vehicles, which is a real advantage on a route that is hard to cover by other means.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling together with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: suited to clubs, wedding parties and company teams.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, tour parties and events where everyone should arrive together.

If you are travelling with sports equipment, prams or extra bags, choose one size up so everyone has space.

About Achterbroek

Achterbroek is a small village in the municipality of Kalmthout, in the province of Antwerp, close to the Dutch border. The area is green and quiet, with woodland and heathland nearby, including the well-known Kalmthoutse Heide nature reserve. It is a residential place rather than a tourist centre, so it helps to have the full street address ready when you book, so your driver can take you straight to the door.
