Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Michelbeke

The drive from Brussels Airport to Michelbeke

The transfer covers 65 km (40 miles) and typically takes about 59 minutes by road. Michelbeke lies southwest of Zaventem, so the first part of the trip runs through the busy Brussels ring region before the roads quieten and the landscape turns rural. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can add time, so build in a buffer if you have an appointment, an event or a connection waiting at the other end. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

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

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for wedding parties, club trips and mid-sized groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, such as coach-style event or tour arrivals, travelling together in one vehicle.

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

About Michelbeke

Michelbeke is a small village in the municipality of Brakel, in East Flanders. It sits in the Flemish Ardennes, a region of rolling hills, farmland and quiet country lanes that is popular with walkers and cyclists. Expect a calm, rural setting rather than a busy town centre. Because village streets can be narrow and house numbers are not always easy to spot, give the driver the exact address of your drop-off or pickup in advance.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits for you at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over and meet your driver without delay.
