Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Kerkhoven

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Kerkhoven

Kerkhoven lies 90 km (56 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 1 h 8 m. The route heads north-east from the airport and leaves the Brussels ring area behind fairly quickly, but the first stretch is where delays tend to build up. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Antwerp can add noticeable time, as can roadworks and bad weather. If you have a fixed appointment or an onward connection in Kerkhoven, it is sensible to allow a buffer on top of the standard journey time.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, so a private transfer is a practical alternative to piecing together a journey yourself. You travel door to door, with no luggage to carry between stations or stops.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option. It is available for 1-3 passengers or for 1-4 passengers, which is worth remembering if you travel with a fourth person and want everyone to sit comfortably.

Larger parties can choose from a range of private minibuses:

• 8 seats: small groups or families with a lot of luggage
• 16 seats: extended families, teams or business delegations
• 24 and 32 seats: clubs, school groups and larger company outings
• 40 and 48 seats: big events, tours and organised group travel

When you book, count luggage as well as people. Sports equipment, instrument cases and several large suitcases all take up space, so choosing the next size up is often more comfortable.

About Kerkhoven

Kerkhoven is a small village in the Kempen (Campine) region of north-eastern Belgium. The landscape here is typical of the area: flat terrain, pine woods, heathland and quiet residential streets. It is a calm place rather than a busy tourist destination, so many visitors come to see family, to attend local events or for work in the surrounding area. If you are unsure of the exact address for your drop-off, have it ready for the driver, as small village streets can be easy to confuse.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you collect your luggage, so you can meet up without any searching.
