Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Niel-Bij-Sint-Truiden

The drive from Zaventem to Niel-Bij-Sint-Truiden

The route covers 60 km (38 miles) and typically takes about 42 minutes. You leave the airport area and head east into the province of Limburg, so the landscape gradually changes from suburban Brussels to open farmland. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels and Leuven can slow the first part of the trip, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for teams, school groups and wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, events and organised tours.

If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, choose the next size up so everyone has room for their luggage.

It lies in Haspengouw, a region known for its fruit orchards, which are especially scenic in spring when the trees blossom. The area is quiet and rural, so it is worth giving your driver the full street address on arrival, as many roads look alike in the countryside.
