Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Maarke-Kerkem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Maarke-Kerkem

The route covers 71 km (44 miles) and normally takes about 1 h 5 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, leaving the Brussels area and continuing west towards East Flanders before the final stretch on smaller local roads. Traffic around Brussels can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make. Your driver follows the current road situation and chooses the most practical route on the day.

Maarke-Kerkem is not a route we are asked for every day, but it is available on request just like any other destination. Your transfer is private, so there are no shared stops along the way.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a little more room for a group of four.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats work well for larger families, wedding guests or business groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats cover bigger parties such as event delegations, tour groups or club trips.

If you are travelling with bulky items such as prams, golf bags or musical instruments, choose the next size up so everything fits comfortably.

About Maarke-Kerkem

Maarke-Kerkem is a village in the municipality of Maarkedal, in East Flanders. It lies in the rolling countryside of the Flemish Ardennes, an area known for its gentle hills, quiet lanes and cycling routes. Expect a peaceful rural setting rather than a busy town centre. The nearby town of Oudenaarde is the main place for shops, restaurants and services. Because the village is small, give your driver the full street address or a clear landmark so the final approach goes smoothly.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at Java Coffee House in the arrivals area of Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight there without searching around the terminal.
