The Drive from Zaventem to Dendermonde

The distance between Brussels Zaventem Airport and Dendermonde is 45 km (28 miles), and the typical driving time is 47 minutes. This is a regularly booked route, so drivers know it well. Most of the journey runs along the motorway network in the direction of Mechelen and East Flanders, before you leave for the final stretch into town.

Brussels and the surrounding ring roads can get busy during the morning and late afternoon rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment, a train to catch or a check-in time to meet, build in some extra buffer. Rain or an accident on the motorway can also add time, and the driver will choose the best route on the day.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match the size of your group and the luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples, families and small business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: practical for clubs, wedding parties and company delegations.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: designed for tour groups, school trips, teams and conference parties who want to arrive together.

If your group sits close to a size limit, it is usually more comfortable to choose the next size up, especially when you have bulky baggage such as sports equipment or musical instruments.

About Dendermonde

Dendermonde is a historic town in East Flanders, located where the river Dender flows into the Scheldt. Its Grote Markt, the town hall and the belfry are the best-known landmarks. The town is also famous for the Ros Beiaard, a traditional horse procession that is a proud part of local heritage. Dendermonde was badly damaged in the First World War and was rebuilt afterwards. Today it makes a calm base for visiting the region between Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent, and the quiet streets near the centre are pleasant to explore on foot after you arrive.
