Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Herentals

The drive from Zaventem to Herentals

The route covers 72 km (45 miles) and typically takes around 52 minutes. It leads from the airport area towards the province of Antwerp and into the Kempen region. Herentals is not a high-volume route, so the transfer is arranged privately for your arrival time rather than around a fixed timetable. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours, when traffic around Brussels and on the Antwerp ring roads can slow the journey. Bad weather can also add some minutes, so it is wise not to plan a tight connection right after you arrive.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on group size and luggage. Private taxis are available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits solo travellers, couples and small families. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which works for business teams, wedding parties, school groups and club outings. If you travel with many suitcases or sports equipment, choose the next size up so that everyone rides comfortably.

Herentals as a destination

Herentals is a town in the province of Antwerp, set in the Kempen area of northern Belgium. It has a historic centre with a central market square, and it is surrounded by quiet countryside, which makes it a calm base compared with the larger cities nearby. Visitors usually come for business at local companies, to visit family, or as a starting point for walking and cycling in the Kempen. A private transfer saves you from navigating several train connections with your luggage after a flight.
