Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Baarn

The drive from Brussels Airport to Baarn

The route covers 186 km (116 miles) and typically takes 2 h 2 m by road. You cross from Belgium into the Netherlands and travel on to the province of Utrecht without changing vehicles or carrying your bags between platforms. Baarn is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request like any other destination. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hours around Antwerp, Breda and Utrecht, or in bad weather. Heavy traffic on this corridor can add noticeably to the usual driving time.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a group of four a standard car with room for the journey.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats is a good choice for larger families or groups with a lot of luggage.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats cover business delegations, school trips and wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats are for large groups who want to arrive together in one vehicle.

On a drive of just over two hours, a bit of extra space is worth having, so pick the larger option if you are between two sizes.
