Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Kontich

The Drive from Zaventem to Kontich

The route covers 33 km (21 miles) and typically takes about 24 minutes. Kontich lies south-east of Antwerp, so the journey follows the busy motorway network between Brussels and Antwerp. Weekday rush hours, especially the morning inbound traffic and the late-afternoon exodus from Brussels, can slow things down. Roadworks and incidents on the ring roads can add time as well. If you have a tight connection or an early meeting, it makes sense to allow a little extra margin.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in the arrivals area, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can head straight there without searching the terminal.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-seat option gives a bit more breathing room for luggage when you travel as a family or with colleagues. For larger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They suit business delegations, sports teams, wedding guests and school or club trips. Choose the size by passenger count and by how much luggage you carry, and go one step up if you bring bulky items.

• Taxi: solo travellers, couples, small families
• 8-seat minibus: larger families or small teams
• 16 to 48 seats: groups, events and organised tours
