Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Nederokkerzeel

The drive from Brussels Airport to Nederokkerzeel

Nederokkerzeel lies 16 km (10 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 21 minutes. The route runs northwest out of the airport area through Flemish Brabant, so you reach a quiet village setting quickly after landing. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around the Brussels ring and the airport approach roads can slow traffic. If you have an appointment or a connection to make, plan a little extra time during those periods.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you have.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples, and small families. Choose the 4-passenger option if you have a bit more luggage or a fourth person.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or a small group with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: suitable for company teams, wedding parties, and club or sports groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, events, and organised tours that need to travel together in one vehicle.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, it is usually more comfortable to choose the next size up, especially with bulky luggage such as sports equipment or prams.

About Nederokkerzeel

Nederokkerzeel is a village in the municipality of Kampenhout in Flemish Brabant, between Brussels and Mechelen. It is a residential and rural area with a calm atmosphere, far from the bustle of the airport. Visitors usually come here to stay with family or friends, for private events, or for business with local companies. A private transfer is a practical choice here, as the village is a small place away from the main airport rail lines.
