Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Hijfte

The drive from Brussels Airport to Hijfte

The route covers 74 km (46 miles) and usually takes about 50 minutes. It runs from Zaventem towards the Ghent area in East Flanders, mostly on motorway. Hijfte is a less frequently booked destination, but transfers are available on request like on any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush, when traffic around Brussels and Ghent slows down. Bad weather can add minutes as well. If you have a tight connection or an appointment shortly after arrival, plan a comfortable buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group and luggage.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business guests.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: for wedding parties, sports teams, school groups and company trips.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups that want to arrive together in one vehicle.

If you are unsure, pick the next size up. Extra luggage space is worth having after a long flight.

About Hijfte

Hijfte is a small village in the municipality of Lochristi, in East Flanders, not far from the city of Ghent. The surroundings are quiet and rural, with typical Flemish countryside and residential streets. Because the village is small, it helps to have the full street address or a house name ready for your driver, so the drop-off goes smoothly right to the door.
