Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Boekhoute

The drive from Brussels Airport to Boekhoute

Boekhoute lies 98 km (61 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 6 m. The route leads north-west across Flanders, so it is a straightforward trip without any border formalities. Boekhoute is not a commonly requested destination, but it is available on request like any other route, and the driver plans the journey for you.

That travel time is typical for normal traffic. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and evening rush around Brussels and Ghent, and on busy summer weekends when many people head towards the coast and the Dutch border region. If you have a ferry, a reservation or an important appointment, build in a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, small families and solo travellers, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so the choice depends mostly on how much luggage you have.

Larger parties can choose from private minibuses:

• 8 seats: families with several children or a group of friends with suitcases
• 16 and 24 seats: wedding guests, sports teams or extended family gatherings
• 32, 40 and 48 seats: bigger events, company groups and organised tours

Tell us the exact number of passengers and bags when you book, so the vehicle matches the group.

About Boekhoute

Boekhoute is a small village in the municipality of Assenede in East Flanders, close to the Dutch border. The surroundings are flat polder countryside with quiet roads and farmland, so expect a rural setting rather than a busy town centre. If you are staying at a private address, keep the exact street name and house number to hand, as small villages can have more than one road with a similar name.
