The Drive from Zaventem to Lontzen

Lontzen lies 128 km (80 miles) from the airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 20 m. The route crosses Belgium from the Brussels area toward the east, close to the German and Dutch borders. A private transfer takes you from the terminal to your address in one go, with no connections and no luggage to carry between stations.

Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, or in poor winter weather. These conditions can slow the first part of the journey around Brussels. If you have a tight onward appointment in Lontzen, plan a buffer instead of relying on the typical time alone.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a group of four a car of their own.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats suit larger families, business teams and friends travelling together with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats cover tour groups, school trips, clubs and company events, with up to 48 passengers on one vehicle.

This route is booked less often than the busiest airport transfers, but it is available on request like any other. Give the exact number of passengers and bags when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.

About Lontzen

Lontzen is a small municipality in the east of Belgium, in the German-speaking Community. It is a quiet, largely rural area close to the border triangle, and the city of Aachen lies just across the German border. Most visitors come to see family, to do business in the surrounding region, or to use it as a base for exploring the countryside and nearby towns. Because it is a small place, check your exact pickup or drop-off address before you travel, so the driver can take you straight to the door.
