Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Diepenbeek

The drive from Brussels Airport to Diepenbeek

Diepenbeek lies 88 km (55 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes around 56 minutes. The route heads east into the province of Limburg, so you go straight from the airport to your address without changing trains or buses. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, when the roads around Brussels and Leuven can slow down. Bad weather can also add to the journey. If you have a fixed appointment or a meeting in Diepenbeek, plan a comfortable buffer rather than counting on the minimum driving time.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is the simplest option. There are two sizes: one for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4, so pick the second if you are travelling with a fourth person or a lot of luggage.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: suits larger families or small business groups of up to 8.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: suit teams, delegations and sports clubs.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, conference parties and organised tours.

Choose the vehicle by the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you bring. A group that fills a vehicle to the last seat will have less room for suitcases.
