Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Kruishoutem

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Kruishoutem

The route covers 84 km (53 miles) and typically takes around 55 minutes. You leave the Zaventem area, pass around Brussels and continue west into East Flanders, where the motorway traffic gives way to quieter local roads for the final stretch. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other transfer.

Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around the Brussels ring can add time, so allow a little extra if you have a fixed appointment, a check-in deadline or an onward connection at the other end. Weekend evenings and bad weather can also slow things down.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. There are two options: one for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. The larger of the two is the better pick if you are travelling with four people or carrying more bags than usual.

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: groups of up to 8 with luggage
• Private Minibus 16 Seats: larger families or small teams
• Private Minibus 24 and 32 Seats: wedding parties, clubs and company groups
• Private Minibus 40 and 48 Seats: big events and full coach-sized groups

If your group size sits close to a vehicle limit, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room for luggage.
