Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Jette

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without searching.

The Drive from BRU to Jette

The route covers 16 km (10 miles) and usually takes about 15 minutes. It is an occasionally booked route, but the journey itself is simple: you leave the airport area and head into the northwest of Brussels. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, when traffic around Brussels slows down. If you have a morning appointment or a connection to catch, build a little margin into your plan.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups are best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option leaves a bit more space for a fourth person or extra suitcases. Larger parties, such as families travelling together, business delegations or event groups, can book a private minibus. Choose from 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everyone arrives in one vehicle and no one has to split up.

Jette as a Destination

Jette is one of the 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region, in the northwest of the city. It is mainly residential and greener than the centre. It is known for the René Magritte Museum, in the house where the painter lived for several years, and for the university hospital UZ Brussel. If you have a precise street address, share it when you book so the driver can plan the final stretch.

Where to Stay Nearby

Jette is mostly residential, so many visitors choose hotels in central Brussels, a short ride from the municipality. Well-established names there include Hotel Metropole, a grand hotel on Place de Brouckère that has operated since the 19th century, and Hotel Amigo, close to the Grand-Place. Another option is the Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place, also in the historic centre. Ask your driver to drop you directly at the entrance of whichever place you choose.
