The Drive from Zaventem to Lichtervelde

The route covers 121 km (76 miles) and usually takes about 1 h 18 m. Lichtervelde lies in West Flanders, on the far side of the country from the airport, so most of the trip is a steady run across Flanders. The busiest stretch is normally around Brussels itself. Weekday morning and late-afternoon traffic on the ring and the main motorways can add time, as can heavy rain or roadworks. If you have a fixed appointment, a wedding or a connecting commitment in Lichtervelde, it is sensible to plan a comfortable buffer.

Lichtervelde is a not often requested destination, but a transfer here is arranged on request just like any other route. A private car means no luggage hauling between connections, which matters on a journey of this length.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Group

The right vehicle depends mainly on party size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suited to individual travellers, couples, small families and business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for wedding parties, sports teams and company groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: designed for large delegations, tour groups and big event arrivals.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, or you are bringing bulky items such as sports gear or musical instruments, it is worth choosing the next size up for comfort.
