Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Meerhout

The drive from Brussels Airport to Meerhout

Meerhout lies 88 km (55 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes about 1 hour. The route leaves the Brussels area and heads north-east into the province of Antwerp. Most of the time is spent on motorway, and the final stretch runs on smaller regional roads. Because the airport sits close to the capital, morning and late-afternoon traffic can add noticeable time, so it is sensible to allow extra margin if you have a connection, an appointment or a check-in time at the other end. Bad weather can slow things down as well.

This is a route that is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request just like any other. A private car means a direct trip with no changes, no timetable to work around and no luggage to carry through stations.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and the amount of luggage you carry.

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for a larger family or friends travelling with extra suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: practical for sports teams, school groups or company outings.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large delegations, event guests and organised tours arriving together.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their bags.

About Meerhout

Meerhout is a municipality in the Kempen region of the province of Antwerp, in Flanders. The area is known for its flat, green landscape of woods, heathland and quiet country roads, and it is a calm contrast to the busy airport you start from. The larger town of Geel is nearby. Visitors usually come to see family, to attend local events, or to explore the surrounding countryside on foot or by bike. Please have the full street address ready when you book, since local roads in smaller villages can be hard to find without one.
