Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Edegem

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Edegem

Edegem lies 35 km (22 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 26 minutes. The route heads north towards Antwerp on the main motorway network and then leaves it on the southern side of the city. This is a regularly booked route, so drivers know the way well.

Brussels and Antwerp are both busy commuter areas. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours on weekdays can slow the motorway noticeably, so allow extra time if you have a meeting, an appointment or a hospital visit waiting. Heavy rain or roadworks can add delay as well. For a departure from Edegem, plan to leave with a comfortable buffer before check-in closes.

Meeting Point at the Airport

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 the baggage hall.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business travellers with standard luggage. Choose the 1-3 option if you want more space for bags.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling together with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, school trips, sports teams and company delegations. One vehicle keeps everyone together from arrival to drop-off.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up. Extra room for luggage makes the ride more comfortable.

About Edegem

Edegem is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, directly south of the city of Antwerp. It is largely residential and green, with quiet streets and easy access to the city centre. It is best known for the Antwerp University Hospital (UZA), which brings many patients, visitors and medical professionals to the area. That makes it a common destination for people travelling for a hospital appointment or a conference, as well as for those visiting family.

Where to Stay Near Edegem

Edegem itself has only a limited choice of well-known hotels. Travellers usually stay in neighbouring Antwerp, a short drive away. Established options there include:

• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel, close to Antwerp-Central station
• Hilton Antwerp Old Town, in the historic centre
• Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Reylof, a boutique hotel in the old town

Give your driver the exact address when you book, whether it is a hotel, a hospital or a private home, so the transfer ends right at the entrance.
