Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Halmaal

The drive from Brussels Airport to Halmaal

Halmaal lies 60 km (37 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes around 48 minutes. That figure assumes normal traffic. The Brussels ring and the motorways leading east are busy at weekday rush hours, so allow extra time if you travel in the early morning or late afternoon, or if you need to reach an appointment or a connection at a fixed time. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver takes you straight to the address without any changes along the way.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4, so check your luggage as well as your headcount. Larger parties can book a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group of friends or an extended family with suitcases. The 16-seat and 24-seat vehicles work well for wedding guests, business delegations or club trips. For bigger groups there are minibuses with 32, 40 and 48 seats, so everyone can travel together in one vehicle.

About Halmaal

Halmaal is a small village in the municipality of Heers, in the Belgian province of Limburg. It sits in Haspengouw (Hesbaye), a rural region known for its gently rolling countryside and its fruit orchards. Expect a quiet, village setting rather than a busy town centre. It is therefore a good idea to give your driver the exact street address, and a contact phone number, before you travel.

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, so you can meet your driver without a long search through the terminal.
