Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Auel

The drive from Brussels Airport to Auel

The transfer covers 180 km (112 miles) and typically takes 1 h 58 m. Auel is a long way from Zaventem, so this is a proper cross-country journey rather than a quick hop. It heads east across Belgium towards the German-speaking part of the country. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in winter, when conditions in the eastern uplands can slow traffic. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request just like any other.

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 and entered the arrivals area.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice: one version seats up to 3 passengers and another up to 4, which helps if you travel with larger suitcases. Groups of 5 to 8 can take the 8-seat minibus. Larger parties such as wedding guests, sports teams, company outings or family gatherings can choose from 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48-seat minibuses. Every vehicle is private, so you travel only with your own group and leave when you are ready, without detours to other stops.

Choose the size by counting both people and luggage. On a drive of almost two hours, extra legroom and space for bags make a noticeable difference.

About Auel

Auel is a small village in the east of Belgium, in the Amel area. It is a quiet, rural setting rather than a busy tourist centre, with green countryside and little traffic once you leave the main roads. Because it is small, it is worth having the exact street address or the name of your host or venue ready when you book. That way the driver can take you directly to the door, even where addresses are not obvious on a map.
