The Drive to Engelmanshoven

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Engelmanshoven covers 74 km (46 miles) and typically takes about 52 minutes. You travel east from the airport area into the province of Limburg, leaving the dense traffic around Brussels behind as the landscape opens up into farmland. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, and a private car means you go door to door with no connections.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hours, or in poor weather, as the first part of the journey near Brussels can be busier than the rest. If you have a fixed appointment on arrival, it is sensible to plan a small buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match the size of your group and the amount of luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable option for larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for bigger parties such as wedding guests, company teams, sports clubs or tour groups.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.
