Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Deurle

Meeting Point

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 meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Zaventem to Deurle

The trip covers 71 km (44 miles) and typically takes about 52 minutes. Most of the route follows motorways heading west towards the Ghent area, then switches to smaller local roads for the final stretch into Deurle. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down at the start of the journey, so allow extra time during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, and if you have a train, meeting or event to reach on arrival.

Choosing a Vehicle

Small groups are best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-seat option gives a little more room for a family or for extra luggage. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. A minibus suits wedding guests, business delegations, sports teams or tour groups who want to arrive together in one vehicle. Pick the size that matches your passengers and bags, rather than just your headcount.
