Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Kapelle-op-den-Bos

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over and meet them without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Kapelle-op-den-Bos

The route covers 26 km (16 miles) and usually takes around 24 minutes. Kapelle-op-den-Bos lies north-west of the airport, so you leave the airport area and continue by road towards the Brussels–Mechelen corridor. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Mechelen can slow traffic, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch. If you are travelling to the airport from Kapelle-op-den-Bos, building in a comfortable buffer before check-in is a sensible habit.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle size depends on your group and your luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for company teams, sports clubs or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, events and organised tours travelling together.

If you are close to a vehicle's passenger limit and carrying a lot of luggage, choose the next size up so everyone travels comfortably.
