Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Kruibeke

The drive from Brussels Zaventem to Kruibeke

Kruibeke lies 51 km (32 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU), and the typical driving time is 37 minutes. The route leaves the airport area and crosses the Brussels region towards the Antwerp side of Flanders. Traffic can build up on the ring road and around Antwerp during the morning and evening rush hours. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make, it is sensible to allow some extra time in those periods. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver takes care of the navigation.

Choosing the right vehicle

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

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a comfortable choice for larger families or a group of friends with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: work well for company teams, sports clubs and mid-sized tour groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, events and coach-style arrivals where everyone travels together.

When booking, pick the category that matches your total passenger count, and choose a size up if you are carrying bulky luggage or sports equipment.

About Kruibeke

Kruibeke is a municipality in the province of East Flanders, on the left bank of the river Scheldt, between Antwerp and the Waasland region. It is a mostly green, residential area with dykes, polders and river views, rather than a busy city centre. The village of Rupelmonde, part of Kruibeke, is known as the birthplace of the cartographer Gerardus Mercator. The Scheldt landscape makes it a pleasant place for walking and cycling. Because the area is spread out, it is useful to have the exact street address ready when you book, so the driver can take you straight to the door.
