Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bekegem

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Bekegem

The route covers 116 km (73 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 18 m. Bekegem lies in West Flanders, so the journey runs west across Flanders from the airport. This is a route booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver plans it as a direct private ride with no stops for other passengers.

The stated driving time assumes normal conditions. Belgian motorways around Brussels are among the busiest in the country, so allow extra time if you travel during the morning or late-afternoon rush hours, on Friday afternoons, or in bad weather. If you have a connecting train, a hotel check-in deadline or an appointment at the other end, build in a comfortable margin instead of planning to the minute.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

The vehicle you need depends mostly on how many people and how much luggage you are bringing.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with ordinary luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats: suit larger families, friends travelling together or small business groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for wedding parties, tour groups, clubs and company events, where everyone arrives together.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky items such as sports equipment or prams, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room on a trip of well over an hour.

About Bekegem

Bekegem is a small village in the municipality of Ichtegem in West Flanders. The surroundings are typical flat Flemish countryside, with farmland, quiet roads and small communities. It is a calm place rather than a tourist centre, so it is a good idea to have the exact address of your destination ready when you book, so your driver can take you right to the door.

Meeting Point
