Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Laakdal

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Laakdal

Laakdal lies about 60 km (37 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes around 49 minutes. The route heads out of the Brussels region and into the Flemish countryside of the province of Antwerp. Laakdal is not one of the most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Weekday rush hours around Brussels and on the ring roads can slow things down, so allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection on the other end. Because the ride is private, the driver goes directly to your address in Laakdal, with no shared stops along the way.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. Simply head there and look for your name.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties there are two taxi options: a private taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. The 4-passenger version is the better pick if you travel with a family or carry several suitcases. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These suit families travelling together, sports clubs, company teams, wedding guests or school groups heading to the Laakdal area. Choose the vehicle by the number of people and the amount of luggage rather than by the minimum, since extra space makes a long flight's worth of bags much easier to handle.

About Laakdal

Laakdal is a rural municipality in the province of Antwerp, made up of several smaller villages rather than one large town centre. The surroundings are green and quiet, with fields, woodland and cycling routes typical of the Kempen region. Most visitors come to see family, attend an event or stay in the countryside. Since many addresses sit on small village streets, it helps to give the driver the full street name and house number when you book, so the drop-off goes smoothly after your flight.
