Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Almelo

The drive from Zaventem to Almelo

The route covers 294 km (183 miles) and typically takes 3 h 7 m. It leads from Flanders across the border into the eastern Netherlands, so the journey is mostly motorway. Almelo is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route. As this is a long trip, allow some extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours around Brussels and Antwerp, or in heavy rain or winter weather. A private transfer takes you straight from the airport to your address in Almelo, with no train changes and no luggage to carry between platforms.

Which vehicle fits your group

For one to three passengers, a private taxi is the simplest choice, and a second taxi option is available for up to four passengers. This works well for business travellers, couples and small families with a few suitcases. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size that matches your headcount and your luggage, so everyone travels comfortably on a journey of just over three hours. Colleagues attending a conference, a sports team or a family party can all travel together in a single vehicle.

Almelo as a destination

Almelo is a city in the province of Overijssel, in the Twente region of the eastern Netherlands. It has a long history linked to the textile industry that shaped much of Twente. The city lies close to Hengelo and Enschede, which makes it a practical base for visiting companies and family in the region. Expect a calm, regional atmosphere rather than a major tourist centre. Give the driver the full street address when you book, so the drop-off goes smoothly.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House at Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. You can meet your driver there and start the journey to Almelo straight away.
