Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Dorsten

The drive from Brussels Airport to Dorsten

The transfer covers 252 km (157 miles) and typically takes 2 h 54 m by road. Dorsten is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request like any other destination. You travel directly from the terminal to your address, with no changes and no waiting for connections. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels or the busy Ruhr area, or if bad weather is forecast. A private transfer also suits a trip of this length, because you can sit back or rest after your flight.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: 1-8 passengers, for larger families or colleagues travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for company teams, club trips and mid-sized groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large delegations, tour groups and event parties travelling together in one vehicle.

If you are unsure, choose the next size up when you have a lot of luggage or sports equipment.

Dorsten as a destination
