Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Kessel

The drive from Brussels Zaventem to Kessel

The route covers 42 km (26 miles) and typically takes about 40 minutes by road. That figure assumes normal traffic. Belgian motorways around Brussels and Antwerp can slow down noticeably during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is sensible to allow extra time if you have a tight appointment, a connecting journey or a check-in deadline at the other end. Bad weather can also add a few minutes.

Your driver handles the navigation, so you can use the ride to rest after your flight, make phone calls or simply look out of the window at the Flemish countryside.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends mainly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families with standard luggage.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) is a good fit for four people travelling fairly light.
• Private Minibus with 8 or 16 seats works for larger families, friends travelling together or small business groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats covers bigger parties such as wedding guests, sports teams, school trips and company delegations.

If you carry bulky items such as musical instruments, sports equipment or several large suitcases, it is worth booking one size up so everyone rides comfortably.

About Kessel as a destination

Kessel is a small place in Belgium, and this is a less frequently booked route. It is available on request like any other transfer. Because it is not a major city with a central landmark, give your exact street address and house number when you book. That lets the driver take you directly to the door instead of to a general area.

Travelling with a larger group or arriving late in the evening? Mention it in your booking so the trip is planned around your needs.

Meeting Point

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