Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Otegem

The drive from BRU to Otegem

Otegem lies 97 km (61 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 11 m. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading west across Flanders. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, especially around the Brussels ring, and in bad weather. A private transfer saves you from planning connections with luggage after a flight.

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 leave baggage reclaim.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger groups can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. That covers anything from a family reunion to a wedding party or a company outing. When you book, count your suitcases as well as your passengers. If you travel with sports gear or many large bags, take the next size up.
