Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ahlen

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU), holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Ahlen

Ahlen lies 324 km (202 miles) from the airport, and the typical driving time is 3 h 36 m. The journey leaves Belgium and crosses into Germany, mostly on motorway. Because this is a cross-border trip of several hours, it helps to allow extra time at busy periods. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels and on the German side can add delays, as can roadworks and weekend holiday traffic. This route is booked less often than the big city connections, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For one to four passengers, a Private Taxi is the simplest option. Larger groups can choose a minibus sized to the number of travellers:

• Private Minibus 8 Seats for families or small teams of up to 8
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats for mid-sized groups
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats for large delegations, tour groups or event parties

With a drive of over three and a half hours, it is worth picking a vehicle with some spare room for luggage and legroom.
