Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Journal

The Drive from BRU to Journal

The transfer covers 322 km (201 miles) and typically takes 3 h 26 m. That is a long road journey, so it suits travellers who would rather relax after a flight than juggle connections with their luggage. Journal is a less frequently booked destination, so the trip is arranged on request, just like any other route on the site.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hours around Brussels, in poor weather, or on busy holiday weekends, when the usual driving time can stretch. On a drive of this length a short rest stop is perfectly reasonable, so mention it to your driver if you would like one.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The right vehicle depends mostly on group size and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): a good fit for solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): suits larger families or friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats (1-16 passengers) and 24 Seats (1-24 passengers): practical for mid-sized groups, teams and organised trips.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats (1-32, 1-40 and 1-48 passengers): designed for large parties, events and tour groups that want to arrive together.

If your group sits close to a vehicle's limit, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room on a journey of more than three hours.

About Journal

Journal is a small destination, so it is best to confirm the exact address with your host, hotel or event organiser before you travel. Share that address when you book, so your driver can plan the final stretch of the route and the drop-off runs smoothly.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can head straight there once you leave the baggage hall.
