Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Oudegem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Oudegem

Oudegem lies 48 km (30 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey by road typically takes around 40 minutes. The route leads away from the airport area and across the Brussels region towards East Flanders. Traffic around Brussels is heaviest on weekday mornings and late afternoons, so it is sensible to allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. Because this is a less frequently booked route, it is arranged on request, just like any other transfer from the airport.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one option seats 1 to 3 passengers, the other 1 to 4. Larger parties can choose a private minibus. The 8-seat minibus suits a group of friends or a family with plenty of luggage, while the 16-seat and 24-seat versions work well for company teams and wedding guests. For bigger groups, minibuses with 32, 40 or 48 seats are available, so everyone arrives together in a single vehicle.

Oudegem as a destination

Oudegem is a village in the municipality of Dendermonde in East Flanders, close to the river Scheldt. It is a quiet, largely residential place, and most visitors come to see family, to attend a local event or for business in the surrounding area. Dendermonde, with its historic town centre, is nearby. For a drop-off, it helps to have the full street address ready so the driver can take you straight to the door.

Meeting Point
