Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Gottem

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Gottem

Gottem is 71 km (44 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes around 59 minutes. The route heads west through Flanders, and the Brussels ring road is usually the slowest stretch. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours can add noticeable time, so allow a margin if you have a fixed appointment on arrival. Gottem is a less frequently booked destination, but a private transfer is available on request, as for any other route.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. Head there after baggage reclaim and look for your name.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on your group size and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or (1-4 passengers): suited to individual travellers, couples and small families. Choose the larger option if you have bulky bags.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or a small group travelling together with luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for mid-sized groups, such as wedding parties or business delegations.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups, tours and events that need everyone to arrive together in one vehicle.

Since the trip takes close to an hour, a vehicle with enough space for everyone makes the ride more comfortable.

About Gottem

Gottem is a small village in East Flanders, part of the municipality of Deinze. It is a quiet, rural place with the flat countryside typical of the region. Few visitors arrive without a specific purpose, such as visiting family, attending a local event or a business appointment. A door-to-door transfer is therefore a practical way to get there, especially after a flight, as public connections to small villages like this are limited.
