Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Haarlemmermeer

Meeting point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver.

The drive to Haarlemmermeer

The route covers 201 km (125 miles) and typically takes 2 h 13 m. It crosses the border into the Netherlands and runs mostly on motorways. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Antwerp and in the Amsterdam region, and on busy holiday weekends. This route is booked less often than some others, but it is available on request just like any other. A private transfer takes you from the arrivals hall to your destination without a change of vehicle.

Which vehicle fits your group

For small groups there are two private taxi options: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. The larger taxi gives a little more room for luggage when four people travel together. Bigger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size that matches your headcount and bags, and keep in mind that a business team or school group will be more comfortable with a few spare seats.

Haarlemmermeer and where to stay

Haarlemmermeer is a municipality in North Holland, named after the large lake that was drained in the 19th century. It is a flat, polder landscape, and it is best known as the home of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Hoofddorp is its main town. Its position close to Amsterdam, Haarlem and the airport makes it practical for business trips and for travellers with an early flight.

Two well-known hotels in the area are the Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and the Hilton Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Both are at Schiphol, which lies within the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. They are popular with transit passengers and business guests. If you have already booked a different place, give the driver the full address when you reserve so the drop-off goes smoothly.
