Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hechtel-Eksel

The drive from Brussels Airport to Hechtel-Eksel

The route covers 91 km (57 miles) and typically takes 1 h 3 m by road. Hechtel-Eksel is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other. Because the journey leads east from the Brussels area into the province of Limburg, it is worth allowing extra time if you travel during weekday morning or late-afternoon rush hours, or in heavy rain, when traffic around the capital can slow down. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting plan at the other end, build in a small buffer rather than counting on the minimum driving time.

Which vehicle suits your group

For individual travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 passengers or for 1-4 passengers, so choose according to your party size and how much luggage you carry. Larger groups can book a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This works well for family gatherings, sports teams, company outings or anyone arriving with a lot of baggage. Travelling together in one vehicle means everyone arrives at the same time and nobody has to coordinate several cars at the arrivals hall.

About Hechtel-Eksel

Hechtel-Eksel is a municipality in the Belgian province of Limburg, in the Kempen (Campine) region. The area is known for its flat landscape of pine forest, heathland and quiet country roads, which makes it popular with walkers and cyclists. It is a calm, mostly rural destination rather than a big city, so it is a good idea to have the exact street address of your accommodation or meeting place ready when you book, so the driver can take you straight to the door.

Meeting Point
