Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Balgerhoeke

The drive from Brussels Airport to Balgerhoeke

The route covers 106 km (66 miles) and typically takes 1 h 10 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading west from Zaventem towards East Flanders, before the final stretch on smaller local roads into the village. Balgerhoeke is not a frequently requested destination, but it can be booked on request like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the Brussels ring and the approaches to Ghent tend to slow down.

Which vehicle suits your group

For couples, small families or business travellers, a private taxi is the simplest option: one category seats 1-3 passengers and another seats 1-4. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, each available for any group size up to its capacity. This is useful for wedding guests, family gatherings or company outings, where everyone can travel together in one vehicle instead of splitting across several cars. If you are carrying a lot of luggage, consider going one size up so everything fits comfortably.

About Balgerhoeke

Balgerhoeke is a small village in East Flanders, belonging to the municipality of Eeklo, in the flat, rural Meetjesland region. Expect quiet streets, farmland and a short distance to the Dutch border rather than big tourist sights. Because the place is small, it helps to give the driver the exact street address of your destination when you book, so the final part of the trip runs smoothly.
