Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Appelterre

The drive from Brussels Airport to Appelterre

Appelterre lies 51 km (32 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes around 42 minutes. The route leads you away from the airport and around or through the Brussels region before continuing west into the quieter countryside of East Flanders. Because part of the trip uses busy roads near the capital, it is sensible to allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, or when you have a tight connection to make. Roadworks and bad weather can also add some minutes.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the arrivals hall.

Choosing the right vehicle

Appelterre is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. A private taxi suits smaller parties: one version takes up to 3 passengers and another up to 4, which works well for couples, families or colleagues travelling with standard luggage. For larger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These are handy for family gatherings, wedding guests, sports teams or company outings, where everyone arrives together and travels together instead of splitting across several cars.

• Taxi: 1-3 or 1-4 passengers
• Minibus: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats

If you carry a lot of luggage, sports equipment or a pram, it is worth choosing the next size up so everything fits comfortably.

About Appelterre

Appelterre is a small village in the Flemish countryside, belonging to the municipality of Ninove in East Flanders. It is a rural, calm setting with farmland, local roads and a few small village streets, rather than a place of big sights or busy tourist infrastructure. A private transfer is a practical way to get there, since a direct ride to your exact address avoids the need to piece together onward connections after a flight. Please have the full street address ready when you book, so the driver can take you directly to the door.
