Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Herfelingen

The drive from Brussels Airport to Herfelingen

Herfelingen lies 42 km (26 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 41 minutes. The route leaves the airport area, passes around the Brussels region and then continues west into the quieter countryside of Flemish Brabant. Because part of the trip runs close to the capital, the weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours can slow things down. Allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a family event or a connection to make after arrival. Bad weather and roadworks can also add minutes, so a small buffer is sensible.

Which vehicle suits your group

This is a route that is booked less often, but it is available on request like any other. For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is available in two sizes: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. The 1-3 option is the better choice when you travel with a lot of luggage, as the extra space goes to bags instead of a fourth seat.

Larger parties can choose a private minibus:

• 8 seats: 1-8 passengers, suitable for extended families or small business groups
• 16 and 24 seats: for wedding parties, club outings or team travel
• 32, 40 and 48 seats: for large groups, events and organised tours

Everyone in the group then arrives together in one vehicle, which is easier to coordinate than several separate cars.

About Herfelingen

Herfelingen is a small village in the municipality of Herne, in the Pajottenland region of Flemish Brabant, southwest of Brussels. The surroundings are rural, with fields, farmland and quiet country roads, which is very different from the busy airport area you are leaving behind. Since the village is small, it helps to have the exact street address or a nearby landmark ready when you book, so the driver can take you to the right door.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching around the arrivals hall.
