Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Meensel-Kiezegem

The Drive from BRU to Meensel-Kiezegem

The route covers 44 km (27 miles) and typically takes around 39 minutes. The last stretch leads through quieter rural roads, so the final part of the journey is slower than the motorway section. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, when traffic around the Brussels ring and towards Leuven can build up, and in bad winter weather. This is an occasionally booked route, so booking ahead is sensible.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in the arrivals area with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, and the larger one gives families a little more room for luggage. Groups of up to 8 travel in a private minibus with 8 seats. For bigger parties such as wedding guests, company teams or club trips, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Choose a size based on both passengers and bags, as luggage takes up space on a rural trip with several stops.

About Meensel-Kiezegem

Meensel-Kiezegem is a small village in the municipality of Tielt-Winge in Flemish Brabant. It lies in the green, gently hilly Hageland region, far from the airport bustle. Expect a peaceful, countryside setting rather than a busy town centre, so it helps to have the exact street address ready for your driver.

Where to Stay Nearby

Meensel-Kiezegem itself is a small village, so most visitors look to the nearby city of Leuven for hotels. Two well-known options there are:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted historic convent building
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, a larger international-brand hotel in the city centre

Your driver can take you to either of these or directly to a private address in the village.
