Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to ibis Styles Brussels Louise

The drive from Zaventem to Louise

The route covers 17 km (11 miles) between Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) and ibis Styles Brussels Louise. In normal traffic the trip takes about 26 minutes. The road leads from the airport into the city, and the last stretch passes through busy central districts. Weekday mornings and late afternoons are the slowest times, and roadworks or events in the city can add delay. If you have a meeting, a connection or a tight check-in window, build in some extra time. This route is booked only occasionally, but each transfer is arranged as a private journey for your group alone.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simple choice. There are two options: one for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4. Larger parties can book a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group of friends or a family with a lot of luggage. Bigger groups can choose from 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, which covers conference delegates, school trips and tour groups. Pick the size by the number of people and the amount of baggage, not by headcount alone.

Meeting point at the airport

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