Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Cochem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without a long search.

The Drive to Cochem

The transfer covers 315 km (196 miles) and typically takes 3 h 27 m. The route leads east out of Belgium and across the Eifel region into the Moselle valley. Cochem is a less frequently booked destination, but we arrange it on request just like any other route.

Allow extra time if you travel during morning or evening rush hours around Brussels, on summer weekends, or in poor winter weather. Border crossings and roadworks can also add minutes. A private transfer means your driver can adjust to these conditions, and a short break on the way is easy to arrange if you ask.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suitable for couples, families or small business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: 1-8 passengers, a good option for larger families or friends with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: for tour groups, wine-tasting parties, clubs and company outings of up to 48 passengers.

On a journey of more than three hours, a little extra space is often worth having, so choose the larger option if you are unsure.

Cochem and Where to Stay

Cochem is a small town on the Moselle, well known for its hilltop Reichsburg castle, its old town and the vineyards that line the river valley. It is a popular base for wine tourism and river walks.

Established places to stay in Cochem include:

• Alte Thorschenke: a historic hotel in the old town.
• Hotel Brixiade: a hotel close to the town centre.
• Hotel Keßler-Meyer: a family-run hotel in Cochem.

The old town has narrow streets, so give your driver the exact name and address of your accommodation. That way you can be dropped off as close as possible.
