Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Appelterre-Eichem

The Drive from Brussels Airport

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Appelterre-Eichem covers 51 km (32 miles) and typically takes around 42 minutes. You leave the airport area, pass around the Brussels ring road and continue west through Flemish Brabant into East Flanders. The ring road is the stretch most likely to slow you down, so allow extra time if you land during the morning or late-afternoon rush, or if you have a fixed appointment at the other end. Because this route is booked less often than the big city transfers, it is arranged on request, and your driver will plan the journey around your arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small groups are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-passenger option is useful when everyone has a suitcase or two. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This makes the route workable for families gathering for a wedding or funeral, sports teams, company groups and organised tours, all riding together in a single vehicle. Pick the size according to both passenger numbers and luggage, as bulky bags take up space quickly.

About Appelterre-Eichem

The surroundings are rural and quiet, with farmland and country lanes typical of the Dender region.

Ninove, the nearest town, has the shops and services you may need, so it is worth keeping the exact address of your destination to hand for the driver.
