Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Okegem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU), holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight there without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Zaventem to Okegem

Okegem lies 38 km (24 miles) from the airport, and the journey usually takes about 34 minutes. The route leads you west out of the Brussels area into the quieter countryside of East Flanders. Because the first part of the trip runs through the busy region around the capital, it is wise to allow some extra time on weekday mornings and late afternoons, when traffic tends to be heavier. If you have a fixed appointment or a connecting journey, building in a small buffer makes the arrival far more relaxed.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The transfer is a private service, so the car is yours alone and there are no stops for other passengers. The vehicle you need depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small business groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good choice for larger families or friends travelling together with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for wedding parties, sports teams and mid-sized company groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, such as event guests or organised tours, who want to arrive together in one vehicle.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky items such as sports equipment, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room.

About Okegem

Okegem is a small village in the Flemish countryside, part of the municipality of Ninove in East Flanders. It is a calm, residential place rather than a major tourist destination, so most visitors arrive to see family and friends, attend a local event or do business in the surrounding region. Since this route is booked less often than the busier airport connections, it is best to reserve your transfer in advance so that a driver and vehicle are arranged for your arrival time. Have the exact street address ready when you book, as this helps the driver bring you to the door in a village with smaller roads.
