Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hakendover

The drive from Brussels Airport to Hakendover

Hakendover lies 47 km (29 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 33 minutes. The route runs east out of the airport area towards Leuven and Tienen, then continues into the countryside of Flemish Brabant. This is a route booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request just like any other.

Allow extra time if you travel on a weekday between roughly 7:00 and 9:30 or in the late afternoon. The roads around Brussels and Leuven are busy then, and the 33 minutes is a typical figure rather than a guarantee. A private transfer means the driver adapts to traffic, and you do not have to plan around connections with luggage.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the natural fit. There are two sizes: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. If you carry a lot of luggage, the larger taxi gives you more breathing room even with only three people.

Larger parties, such as wedding guests, a group of cyclists or a company outing, can choose a private minibus. The options are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 seats, so you can match the vehicle to your headcount and keep everyone together in one vehicle.
