Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Molenstede

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Molenstede

Molenstede lies 59 km (37 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 44 minutes. The route heads east out of the Brussels area into the Flemish countryside. Because the first stretch runs near the capital, traffic can build up on weekday mornings and late afternoons. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting journey, add a buffer to the 44 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, so a private transfer can be arranged for your arrival or your departure.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. If you travel as a family with several suitcases, check the luggage space against the number of bags before you pick the smaller car.

Larger groups can choose from a range of private minibuses:

• 8 seats for extended families or small business teams
• 16 seats for mid-sized groups
• 24 and 32 seats for clubs, tour parties and event guests
• 40 and 48 seats for large delegations or wedding parties travelling together

Everyone rides in one vehicle and arrives at the same door, which is easier than coordinating several cars from the airport.
