Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bloemendaal

Meeting Point

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 meet without any searching around the terminal.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Bloemendaal

The route covers 218 km (136 miles) and typically takes 2 h 30 m. It crosses the Belgian-Dutch border and runs north through the Netherlands to the coast of North Holland. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you travel on a weekday morning or late afternoon, when traffic around Antwerp, Rotterdam and Amsterdam can slow things down. Roadworks and bad weather can also add to the journey. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end, build in a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It comes in a version for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. Larger parties with plenty of luggage are better off in a minibus. The options are:

• Minibus with 8 seats: 1-8 passengers
• Minibus with 16 seats: 1-16 passengers
• Minibus with 24 seats: 1-24 passengers
• Minibus with 32 seats: 1-32 passengers
• Minibus with 40 seats: 1-40 passengers
• Minibus with 48 seats: 1-48 passengers

On a journey of this length, a bit of extra space makes the ride more pleasant, so pick the vehicle by group size and luggage rather than by the bare minimum.

Bloemendaal and Where to Stay

Bloemendaal is a green, residential municipality in North Holland, just west of Haarlem. It lies next to the dunes of the Kennemerduinen National Park and is close to the North Sea beach at Bloemendaal aan Zee. Visitors come for walks, cycling and easy access to Haarlem and Amsterdam.

Bloemendaal itself is a quiet place with little hotel capacity, so most visitors stay in nearby Haarlem. Established options there include:

• Hotel Lion d'Or
• Amrâth Grand Hotel Frans Hals
• Van der Valk Hotel Haarlem

Please confirm your exact address when booking, so the driver can take you straight to your door.
