Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Maaseik

The drive from Brussels Airport to Maaseik

Maaseik lies 114 km (71 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, in the far east of Belgian Limburg. The typical driving time is 1 h 18 m. The route heads out of the Brussels area and across Flanders towards the Dutch border. It is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and a private transfer saves you from planning a multi-leg journey.

Traffic around Brussels is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end. Roadworks and bad weather can also lengthen the trip.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle options match the size of your group:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups. Choose the larger one if you have a lot of luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling together.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for mid-sized groups, such as teams, clubs or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large groups, tours and company events.

Everyone travels in one vehicle, so the group arrives in Maaseik together.

Maaseik as a destination

Maaseik is a small historic town on the river Meuse (Maas), right next to the Dutch border. It is generally known as the traditional birthplace of the painters Hubert and Jan van Eyck. The compact centre is built around the market square and is easy to explore on foot. The surrounding countryside, with the Meuse valley close by, is popular with walkers and cyclists. Since the area is quiet and rural, a door-to-door transfer from the airport is often the simplest way to get there.
