Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Langerlo

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Langerlo

The route covers 92 km (58 miles) and typically takes 1 hour. It leads east from Zaventem towards the province of Limburg, so most of the journey is on motorway. Weekday rush hours around Brussels and Leuven can slow traffic, and bad weather has the same effect. If you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival, allow a little extra time. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the driver tracks the trip from the airport to your address.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families usually book a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Four people with suitcases will be more comfortable in the 4-passenger taxi than in the 3-passenger one. For larger parties, private minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. They suit business teams, sports groups, wedding parties and organised tours heading to Limburg. Choose the size that matches your group and its luggage, and you will all travel together in a single vehicle.

About Langerlo

Langerlo lies in the Zwartberg area of Genk, in the Belgian province of Limburg. It is best known as an industrial site, home to the former Langerlo coal-fired power station, rather than as a tourist spot. Most visitors come for business, for work at nearby industrial sites or to see people in the Genk area. Genk itself is the closest larger town for shops, restaurants and other services. Since the area is not served by obvious landmarks, it helps to have the exact address or company name ready when you book, so the driver can take you to the right entrance.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without a long search through the terminal.
