Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Aparthotel Wellington, Brussels

The drive from Zaventem to Aparthotel Wellington

The route covers 17 km (11 miles) and normally takes around 26 minutes. That is a short hop by airport standards, but Brussels traffic can change the picture quickly. The morning and late-afternoon rush hours on the roads into the city are the usual trouble spots, so allow some extra margin if you have a meeting or a check-in deadline. A private transfer means your driver handles the navigation and the final approach to the hotel entrance, which is a real convenience in a dense urban area.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Choose the larger taxi if you are four people with several suitcases, since luggage space is what usually decides it.

For bigger parties, the minibus range starts at 8 seats and goes up in steps through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 seats, with a 64-seat option at the top. This suits business delegations, school and sports groups, wedding guests or conference attendees who all need to reach the same address together. Pick the size by head count first, then check you have room for the luggage.

• 1-4 passengers: private taxi
• 5-8 passengers: 8-seat minibus
• 9 or more: 16 to 64-seat minibus, depending on group size
