Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Astene

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Astene

Astene lies 78 km (49 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 53 minutes. The route heads west across Flanders towards the Ghent area, mostly on motorway. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Traffic around the Brussels ring road can slow things down in the morning and late afternoon, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or an onward connection.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on how many people and how much luggage you are bringing:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good option for larger families or friends travelling together with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 or 32 Seats: practical for wedding parties, sports teams and company groups.
• Private Minibus 40 or 48 Seats: intended for large groups, such as event guests or tour parties, who want to arrive together.

If your group is close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so that luggage fits comfortably.

About Astene

Astene is a village in the municipality of Deinze, in the province of East Flanders. It lies in the countryside near the river Leie, not far from Ghent. The setting is quiet and green, with farmland, cycling routes and small local streets, and it is a different pace from Brussels. Because the area is residential and spread out, a private transfer that takes you to the exact address is far easier than relying on local connections for the final stretch.
