Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Heule

The drive from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Heule

The transfer covers 764 km (475 miles), and the typical driving time is 7 h 42 m. That is a full day's journey rather than a short hop, so it helps to plan around it. Heavy traffic, roadworks and weather can all stretch the schedule, and a long trip like this also calls for a few rest stops. If you have an onward appointment or a check-in deadline in Heule, build in a generous margin and don't plan the arrival to the minute.

This route is booked less often than the busiest airport runs. It is available on request, just like any other transfer, and you travel in a private vehicle with no shared stops along the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

On a journey of nearly eight hours, space matters more than on a short ride. The options are:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) for solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with ordinary luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8 who want extra room for bags and legs.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and Private Minibus 24 Seats for larger parties, such as extended families or work teams.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats for big groups, events and organised tours travelling together.

Pick the size by headcount first, then check your luggage. If you are close to a vehicle's limit, going one size up makes the long ride more comfortable.
