Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Diegem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from BRU to Diegem

Diegem lies just 6 km (4 miles) from the terminal, and the drive usually takes around 10 minutes. It is one of the shortest transfers from Brussels Airport, though it is only occasionally booked. Traffic around the airport and the nearby motorway junctions can slow things down at morning and evening rush hours, so allow a little extra time if you have a meeting or a tight check-in. Outside those peaks the ride is quick and uncomplicated.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. It is available for 1-3 passengers or 1-4 passengers, so pick the larger one if you are travelling with four people and luggage. Larger groups, such as business delegations or conference teams, can book a private minibus. The options are:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32 seats for up to 32 passengers
• 40 seats for up to 40 passengers
• 48 seats for up to 48 passengers

Choose the size by headcount and luggage, not by headcount alone, since suitcases take up room too.
