Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gooreind

The drive from Brussels Airport to Gooreind

The route covers 67 km (42 miles) and typically takes around 49 minutes. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading north from Zaventem towards the province of Antwerp. Traffic around Brussels and on the Antwerp ring road can build up on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a connection to make or an appointment on arrival. Gooreind is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option: one version takes up to 3 passengers, another up to 4. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This works well for family gatherings, wedding guests, sports teams or company groups who want to arrive together rather than split across several cars. When you book, count everyone in your party and think about how much luggage you are bringing, then pick the size that leaves everyone comfortable.

About Gooreind

Gooreind is a village in the municipality of Wuustwezel, in the Kempen region of Antwerp province, close to the Dutch border. The setting is rural, with woods, farmland and quiet residential streets, which is a very different atmosphere from the airport area. Because it is a small place, it helps to have the exact street address or house number ready when you book, so the driver can take you straight to the door.

Meeting point at the airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head there directly after baggage reclaim.
