The Drive from Brussels Airport to Astenet

Astenet lies 130 km (81 miles) from Zaventem, and the drive usually takes about 1 h 23 m. The route heads east across Belgium towards the German border. As with any longer transfer, it is sensible to add some buffer if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels are at their busiest. Roadworks and bad weather can also slow the journey, particularly in winter. Because the ride is private, the driver can adjust to the situation, and you can sit back after your flight instead of working out connections with luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour parties, sports teams, school trips, company groups and wedding guests, with space for up to 48 passengers.

If you are unsure, pick the larger option when you have bulky items such as sports equipment or several suitcases per person.

About Astenet

Astenet is a small village in the far east of Belgium, in the municipality of Kelmis (La Calamine), close to the German and Dutch borders. It is a quiet, mostly residential place surrounded by countryside, and the city of Aachen lies only a short distance away. This route is booked less often than the main city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, so simply give your exact address when you book so the driver can take you to the door.
