Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Leverkusen

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without a long search.

The Drive to Leverkusen

The route covers 218 km (136 miles) and typically takes 2 h 17 m. It crosses from Belgium into Germany and ends on the Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia. Leverkusen is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during the weekday morning and late afternoon rush hours, especially on the approach to the Cologne and Leverkusen area, where traffic can slow the final stretch. Roadworks and bad weather can add time as well, so it is wise not to schedule a tight appointment right after arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Group size decides the vehicle. A private taxi suits one to four passengers with normal luggage. Larger parties can choose from several minibus sizes:

• 8 seats for small groups or families with extra bags
• 16 seats for mid-sized teams or travel parties
• 24 and 32 seats for delegations, clubs and tour groups
• 40 and 48 seats for large events and full coach-sized groups

Every option is private, so the vehicle departs when your group is ready and goes straight to your address in Leverkusen.

Leverkusen and Where to Stay

Leverkusen is best known as the home of the Bayer company and of the football club Bayer 04 Leverkusen, who play at the BayArena. The city lies directly beside Cologne, which makes it a practical base for business visits to the chemical industry as well as for trips to the Rhine region.

For accommodation, many travellers also look at neighbouring Cologne, where several long-established hotels are found:

• Excelsior Hotel Ernst, a classic grand hotel near Cologne Cathedral
• Hotel im Wasserturm, set in a converted historic water tower
• Maritim Hotel Köln, a large hotel close to the Rhine and the old town

Tell us your hotel or business address when booking, and the driver will take you to the door, whether that is in Leverkusen or just across the city border in Cologne.
