Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Capelle aan den IJssel

The route covers 138 km (86 miles) and typically takes 1 h 32 m. It leads north from Zaventem across the Belgian border and on into the Rotterdam region. Capelle aan den IJssel is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Traffic around Brussels, Antwerp and Rotterdam can build up at rush hour, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Couples and small families are usually best served by a private taxi, with one option for up to 3 passengers and another for up to 4. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. For bigger groups, such as company teams, conference delegates or wedding guests, minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available. Pick the size by passenger count and by how much luggage you carry, since a full group with large cases needs more space than the seat count alone suggests.

Capelle aan den IJssel and Where to Stay

Capelle aan den IJssel is a town in the Rotterdam area, lying on the river Hollandse IJssel and closely linked to the city. It is mostly residential and well connected, which makes it a practical base for business visits or for reaching Rotterdam. Capelle itself has a limited choice of well-known hotels, so for accommodation it is worth looking at neighbouring Rotterdam. Established names there include Hotel New York, in the former Holland America Line headquarters, the Hilton Rotterdam and the Mainport Hotel. Your driver can drop you at any of them or at a private address in Capelle.

Meeting Point
