Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without a long search.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

Smaller parties are well served by a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Choose the larger one if you are travelling with several suitcases. For bigger groups there are private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These suit families, work teams, sports clubs and tour groups who want to arrive together in one vehicle. When you book, count everyone in the party and think about how much luggage you carry. A little extra space makes the ride more relaxing.

About Meulestede

Please give your driver the exact street address when you book so the drop-off is smooth.
