Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hechtel

The drive from Brussels Airport to Hechtel

Hechtel lies 89 km (55 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 2 m. The route takes you east from the airport towards the province of Limburg, and a private car or minibus saves you from planning connections with luggage. This is a less frequently booked route, so it is arranged on request, just like every other transfer. If you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, or in bad weather, allow some extra time, since traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the journey.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends mainly on the size of your group and the amount of luggage you bring.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suited to solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats (1-16 and 1-24 passengers): practical for business groups, sports teams or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats (1-32, 1-40 and 1-48 passengers): intended for large tour groups, school trips and company events.

If you are close to the upper limit of a vehicle, it is sensible to choose the next size up so everyone has room for their bags.

About Hechtel

Hechtel is part of the municipality of Hechtel-Eksel in the Belgian province of Limburg. It sits in the Kempen region, an area known for heathland, pine woods and quiet countryside rather than big-city sights. Visitors usually come for walking and cycling, for family visits or for business in the surrounding Limburg towns. Since the area is spread out and rural, a private transfer takes you directly to your address without extra stops or transfers.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The location is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without searching around the terminal.
