The Drive from Brussels Airport to Ahaus

Ahaus lies 303 km (189 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 3 h 25 m. The journey takes you out of Belgium and across the border into Germany, ending in the western Münsterland. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and a private car means you travel door to door without changing vehicles.

Treat the driving time as a guide rather than a guarantee. Rush-hour traffic around Brussels, roadworks and busy border-region motorways can add time, so allow a margin if you have a meeting, a check-in or a connection waiting at the other end. A journey of more than three hours also suits a short comfort stop, which your driver can arrange along the way.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match both the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you carry.

• Private Taxi: for 1 to 4 passengers, suitable for individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for groups of up to 8, with more room for suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: for larger parties such as teams, extended families or business delegations.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for big groups travelling together, such as tour parties or event guests.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, it is usually worth going one size up so everyone has space for their bags on a drive of this length.
