Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mönchengladbach

The drive from Brussels Airport to Mönchengladbach

The route covers 175 km (109 miles) and typically takes 1 h 57 m. It runs eastward from Zaventem across the Belgian border and on into North Rhine-Westphalia. Mönchengladbach is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Travel time depends on traffic, so it helps to allow a little extra. Rush hours around Brussels and the busy German motorway network can slow the journey, and so can roadworks. If you have a fixed appointment, a match, or a train to catch, plan a buffer on top of the standard driving time.

Choosing the right vehicle

A private taxi suits individual travellers, couples and families of up to four passengers. For groups with more luggage or more people, the minibus options start with an 8-seat model and continue with 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 seats. This covers everything from a business delegation to a club trip or a large tour group.

• 1-4 passengers: Private Taxi
• 5-8 passengers: Private Minibus 8 Seats
• 9-16 passengers: Private Minibus 16 Seats
• 17-48 passengers: Minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats

Pick the size that leaves room for suitcases as well as people, especially on a journey of almost two hours.

It is widely known for its football club, Borussia Mönchengladbach, which plays at Borussia-Park.
