Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Boechout

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Boechout

The route covers 39 km (25 miles) and usually takes around 36 minutes. From Zaventem you head north towards the Antwerp area, and Boechout lies just south-east of the city. Because this is an occasionally booked route, drivers are used to arranging it in advance, but traffic around Brussels and Antwerp can slow things down. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, and if you have a tight appointment on arrival, plan a buffer of a few extra minutes.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version seats 1-3 passengers, another seats 1-4. Larger groups can switch to a private minibus with 8 seats. For bigger parties, such as wedding guests, business delegations or tour groups, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size that also leaves room for luggage, since everyone travels together in one vehicle.

About Boechout

Boechout is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, in Flanders. It is mainly residential and green, with a quieter feel than the nearby city, yet it is close enough for easy trips into Antwerp. Many visitors come to see family, to attend events or to work with local companies.

Places to Stay Nearby

Boechout itself has little in the way of well-known large hotels, so many visitors stay in Antwerp, the nearest big city. Established options there include:

• Hotel Rubens-Grote Markt

Tell the driver your exact address when you book, so the transfer goes straight to your hotel or home.
