Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gijmel

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gijmel

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gijmel covers 47 km (29 miles) and typically takes around 38 minutes. That is the time under normal traffic conditions. Traffic around Brussels can be heavy on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight connection, a meeting or a check-in time at the other end. Gijmel is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route, and your driver goes straight to your address without stops along the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group and luggage rather than just your headcount.

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families with standard luggage.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a fourth seat for small groups travelling light.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats is the practical choice for larger families or groups with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats work well for company teams, wedding parties and organised groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats cover large delegations, tour groups and events, all in one vehicle.

If you are unsure, choose the larger option when travelling with bulky items such as sports equipment, prams or oversized bags.

About Gijmel

Gijmel is a small place in Belgium, so you will not find the range of services of a big town. A pre-arranged private transfer is therefore a practical way to arrive: you are taken to the exact address instead of having to look for a taxi on arrival. Have the full street name and house number ready when you book, because small localities often share similar road names with neighbouring villages. This helps the driver navigate directly to the right spot.
