Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Buggenhout

The drive from Zaventem to Buggenhout

The route covers 31 km (19 miles) and normally takes about 31 minutes. It leaves the airport area and heads north-west through the Flemish countryside towards the border of East Flanders. Buggenhout is booked only occasionally from BRU, so your driver will plan the route on the day. Allow extra time during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, when roads around Brussels and Mechelen get busier. Bad weather can also slow things down.

Which vehicle suits your group

Solo travellers, couples and small families fit well in a private taxi. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. A minibus makes sense for a family gathering, a wedding party, a company visit or a sports club, since everyone arrives together and there is room for the luggage. Choose a size by passenger count and bags. If you are unsure, pick the larger option.

About Buggenhout

Buggenhout is a municipality in the province of East Flanders, between Brussels and Antwerp and close to Mechelen and Dendermonde. It is a mostly residential, green area with a calm, small-town character rather than a big tourist centre. Most visitors come to see family, to do business with local companies or to stay somewhere quieter than the main cities. A door-to-door transfer is practical here, because you are driven straight to the address and avoid planning connections.
