Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Beringen-Mijn

The drive from Brussels Airport to Beringen-Mijn

The route covers 79 km (49 miles) and usually takes about 53 minutes. You head east out of the Brussels area into the province of Limburg, so most of the journey is on motorway. Beringen-Mijn is a less frequently requested destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route. Traffic around Brussels and Leuven can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so if you have a fixed appointment at the other end, build in some extra time. Your driver handles the route, so you can rest after your flight.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are versions for up to 3 passengers and up to 4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and your luggage. Larger groups, such as business delegations, wedding guests or a team travelling together, can book a private minibus. Minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone can travel in a single vehicle instead of splitting across several cars. If you are carrying bulky luggage or sports equipment, it is worth choosing the next size up.

Meeting point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head there directly after baggage reclaim.

About Beringen-Mijn

Beringen-Mijn lies in the province of Limburg and is closely tied to the coal mining history of the Kempen region. The Beringen coal mine, which closed in the late 20th century, shaped the district, and the old mine site is now a heritage location. The surroundings are a mix of residential streets and green areas, which makes the area quiet compared with the capital. Give your driver the exact address when you book, so the drop-off goes smoothly, especially if you are heading to a specific site in the former mining area rather than the town centre.
