Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gingelom

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gingelom

Gingelom lies 61 km (38 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport. The drive typically takes about 40 minutes. The route heads east into the province of Limburg and is mostly made on main roads. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Leuven can slow traffic, and bad weather can too. If you have a fixed appointment or onward connection in Gingelom, add a buffer to the standard travel time.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are versions for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers, so pick the one that leaves room for your suitcases. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. Wedding parties, sports teams, company groups and tour parties can use the 24, 32, 40 and 48 seat minibuses, so everyone arrives together in one vehicle. When you book, count the large suitcases as well as the passengers.

Gingelom as a destination

Gingelom is a rural municipality in the province of Limburg, in the Haspengouw region, which is known for its orchards and farmland. It is made up of several small villages and lies close to Sint-Truiden. Most visitors come to stay with family, to attend a local event or to explore the countryside. Because the area is quiet and spread out, a private transfer that takes you to the exact address is far easier than relying on local connections.

Share it with the driver in advance, along with a mobile number you can be reached on. That way the drive can start as soon as you meet, without any need to check directions.
