Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Niel

The Drive from Zaventem to Niel

Niel lies 37 km (23 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes around 33 minutes. That figure assumes reasonably free roads. If you land during the weekday morning or evening peaks, or travel on a day with heavy traffic around Brussels and Antwerp, it is sensible to allow some extra time, especially when you have a fixed appointment at the other end. Although this route is booked less often than the big city transfers, it is arranged on request in just the same way.

Meeting Point at the Airport

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 head there straight away.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For smaller parties there is a choice of Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers or 1-4 passengers. The four-passenger option suits a family or colleagues travelling with a few bags. Larger groups are covered by private minibuses:

• Minibus 8 Seats for up to 8 passengers
• Minibus 16 Seats for up to 16 passengers
• Minibus 24 Seats for up to 24 passengers
• Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats for larger parties, from 32 up to 48 passengers

If your group is close to the limit of a vehicle or carries a lot of luggage, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room.

About Niel

Niel is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, on the banks of the Rupel river. The area has a long history of brick-making, and the surrounding countryside is flat and green. It is a quiet place and sits close to neighbouring Boom, so the transfer takes you from the airport into a calmer part of Flanders. Give your driver the exact street address when you book, so the trip ends right at your door.
