Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Begijnendijk

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Begijnendijk

The route covers 47 km (29 miles) and normally takes about 37 minutes. It is a less frequently booked transfer, but it is available on request like any other, and the journey is a straightforward road trip from the airport area into the Flemish countryside. Allow some extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Leuven tend to be busier. Heavy rain or winter weather can also slow the trip, so build in a small buffer if you have a connection or appointment at the other end.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends mostly on group size and luggage:

• 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 fit for larger families or groups of friends with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for team outings, wedding parties and mid-sized groups arriving together.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large delegations, school or club trips and company events, so everyone travels in one vehicle.

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

About Begijnendijk

Begijnendijk is a small municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, Belgium. It has a quiet, largely residential character, which is quite different from the busy airport area you leave behind. Because it is a small place, it is worth having the exact street address or the name of your host or venue ready, so your driver can take you directly to the door.
