Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Kester

The drive from Brussels Airport to Kester

Kester lies 40 km (25 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the trip usually takes about 40 minutes by road. The route leaves the airport area, passes around the Brussels ring road and continues west into the Flemish Brabant countryside. The ring road is the part most affected by traffic, so it is sensible to allow extra time if you land during the morning or late-afternoon rush hours. Bad weather can also slow the last stretch on smaller local roads. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry.

• 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 choice for larger families or groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24 and 32 Seats: work well for wedding parties, team trips and organised groups.
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups that want to travel together in one vehicle.

If you are unsure between two sizes, choose the larger one so that luggage fits comfortably.

About Kester

Kester is a small village in the Pajottenland, a rural area west of Brussels in the province of Flemish Brabant. It belongs to the municipality of Gooik. The surroundings are quiet, with farmland, gentle hills and country lanes, a clear contrast to the airport and the capital. The region is known for its traditional lambic beers. A door-to-door private transfer is a practical way to reach a village like this, since you avoid planning around local connections.
