Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Idar-Oberstein

The drive from Brussels Airport to Idar-Oberstein

The journey covers 318 km (198 miles) and typically takes 3 h 26 m. The road leads east out of Belgium and across the border into Germany, ending in the Nahe valley. Idar-Oberstein is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or during busy holiday weekends. Roadworks and heavy traffic can add to the usual duration, so it is wise not to plan a tight appointment right after arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and families of up to four, the Private Taxi is the simplest option. Larger parties with suitcases are better off in a minibus:

• Private Minibus 8 Seats for up to 8 passengers
• Private Minibus 16 Seats for up to 16 passengers
• Private Minibus 24 Seats for up to 24 passengers
• Private Minibus 32 Seats for up to 32 passengers
• Private Minibus 40 Seats for up to 40 passengers
• Private Minibus 48 Seats for up to 48 passengers

On a journey of more than three hours, a little extra space makes a real difference, so consider going one size up if you carry a lot of luggage.

About Idar-Oberstein

Idar-Oberstein lies in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, on the Nahe river at the edge of the Hunsrück region. The town is widely known for its long tradition of gemstone cutting and jewellery making, and for the Felsenkirche, a church set into a rock face high above the town. Its hilly, wooded surroundings also attract walkers and visitors interested in minerals and gems. Whether you come for business, a family visit or a short break, a direct transfer saves you the trouble of several train connections.
