Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Ottergem

The Drive from Zaventem to Ottergem

Ottergem lies 44 km (28 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 31 minutes. The route leaves the airport area and continues through the Flemish countryside, so the final stretch is quieter than the first. Traffic around the Brussels ring can slow things down on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so allow some extra time if you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival. Because this route is booked less often than the big city transfers, it is arranged on request, and your driver is assigned specifically for your trip.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group and luggage rather than just your headcount.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families. Choose the 1-3 option if you carry larger bags.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a comfortable choice for bigger families or friends travelling together with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: for wedding parties, company groups, sports teams, and other larger parties who want to arrive together.

If you are unsure, pick the next size up. Extra space costs little in comfort terms and saves you from squeezing bags onto laps.

About Ottergem

Ottergem is a village in the municipality of Erpe-Mere in East Flanders. It is a rural, residential place rather than a tourist hotspot, so most visitors come for family, local events, or business in the surrounding Dender region. A private transfer is a practical way to get there, as it takes you straight to the door of your address. Share the full street address with your booking so the driver can plan the final turns accurately.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the arrivals hall.
