Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mechernich

The drive from Brussels Airport to Mechernich

The journey covers 230 km (143 miles) and typically takes 2 h 25 m. The route leads east across Belgium and over the border into North Rhine-Westphalia, so most of the trip is on motorway. Mechernich is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but it is available on request like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in winter, when snow or fog can slow traffic in the Eifel hills near the end of the trip. Your driver follows the quickest sensible route on the day, so you can sit back after landing.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you carry.

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suitable for individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: 1-8 passengers, a good fit for larger families or small groups with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: 1-16 or 1-24 passengers, practical for teams, clubs and tour groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: 1-32, 1-40 or 1-48 passengers, built for large delegations, school trips and organised group travel.

On a trip of around two and a half hours, comfort matters. If you are between two sizes, the larger vehicle usually gives everyone more room for bags and a more relaxed ride.

About Mechernich
