Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Booitshoeke

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem 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 walk over without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Booitshoeke

The route covers 141 km (88 miles) and usually takes around 1 h 27 m. That makes it a fairly long transfer by Belgian standards, and it takes you from the Brussels area across Flanders towards the west of the country. Booitshoeke is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is arranged on request just like any other route.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush hours, when the roads around Brussels are busiest. Bad weather can also slow the journey. If you have an onward appointment or a fixed check-in time in Booitshoeke, build in a margin beyond the standard driving time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small groups are well served by a private taxi. There are options for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, which suits couples, families or colleagues travelling with normal luggage.

Larger parties can book a private minibus. The choices run from 8 seats up to 48 seats:

• 8 seats: a bigger family or a small group with extra bags
• 16 and 24 seats: wedding parties, sports teams or company groups
• 32, 40 and 48 seats: large events, school trips or tour groups

When you choose, count both passengers and luggage. If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, go one size up for more comfort on a drive of this length.

About Booitshoeke

Booitshoeke is a small, quiet village in West Flanders, in the countryside of the Diksmuide area. Expect flat farmland and a peaceful setting rather than a busy tourist centre. Because the village is small, it helps to have the exact address of your destination ready when you book, so the driver can take you to the right door.
