Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Linden

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 go straight there and meet your driver without searching.

The Drive from BRU to Linden

The route covers 33 km (21 miles) and usually takes about 32 minutes. Most of the journey follows the motorways east of Brussels before turning onto smaller regional roads toward the Flemish Brabant countryside. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around the Brussels ring and Leuven can slow traffic noticeably, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. Linden is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match the size of your group and the amount of luggage you are carrying:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for wedding parties, sports teams, and business groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large delegations, tour groups, and event guests arriving together.

If you are unsure, pick the larger option when your party is close to a vehicle's limit, so everyone has space for luggage.

Linden and Where to Stay Nearby

Linden is a small village in the Lubbeek area of Flemish Brabant, close to the university city of Leuven. It is a quiet, rural setting rather than a tourist hub, and its limited accommodation means many visitors stay in Leuven, a short drive away. Well-known options in Leuven include Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted former convent, and the Leuven Marriott Hotel, located near the city centre. If your hotel is in Leuven rather than Linden, just give the driver the exact address when booking.
