Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Montenaken

The drive from Brussels Airport to Montenaken

Montenaken lies 60 km (37 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes around 40 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so you can arrange it in advance without any special conditions. Your driver takes you directly to your address, with no changes and no waiting for other passengers.

The journey time is a typical figure for normal traffic. Brussels and its ring roads can get very busy in the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, and bad weather can slow things down as well. If you have a tight connection, a fixed appointment or an early event in Montenaken, it is sensible to plan a little extra time on top of the standard 40 minutes.

Which vehicle fits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4 passengers, which is useful if you travel with a bit more luggage.

Larger parties are covered by the minibus range:

• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for groups of up to 8 people
• Private Minibus 16 Seats: for larger families or small business teams
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for wedding parties, sports clubs, tour groups and company events

If you are unsure, pick the size based on both the number of passengers and the amount of luggage, since suitcases take up space too.

About Montenaken

Montenaken is a small village in the municipality of Gingelom, in the Belgian province of Limburg. It lies in the Haspengouw (Hesbaye) region, a rural area known for its fruit orchards and quiet countryside. Visitors usually come here to see family, attend local events or stay in the surrounding villages rather than for large-scale sights. Because the area is rural, a private transfer to your exact door is often much more practical than relying on onward connections.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there once you are through the arrivals hall.
