The Drive to Deventer

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Deventer covers 252 km (157 miles) and typically takes 2 h 44 m. It leads north out of Belgium and across the Netherlands. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Rush hours around Brussels, Antwerp and the Dutch Randstad area can slow traffic, so allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. Roadworks and bad weather can also add to the journey.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. It is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and luggage. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This works well for business teams, school trips, sports clubs and wedding parties. With a journey of nearly three hours, a bit of extra room for bags and legs is worth considering.
