Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Overpelt

The drive from Brussels Airport to Overpelt

Overpelt lies 100 km (62 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes about 1 h 9 m. The route heads east into the province of Limburg, so it is a straightforward road transfer with no need to go into central Brussels. This is an occasionally booked route, which makes a pre-arranged private transfer the simplest option for a trip that ends in a small town. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels can slow the first part of the journey, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end.

Choosing the right vehicle

For smaller parties, a Private Taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, and the larger one suits a family with a few suitcases. Groups can choose a Private Minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. The 8-seater works well for a larger family or a few colleagues, while the 16- and 24-seaters suit teams and tour parties. The 32-, 40- and 48-seat options are there for coach-sized groups such as conferences, clubs or school trips. Choose by passenger count and luggage rather than by minimum size, because every minibus takes smaller parties too.

About Overpelt

Overpelt is in the north-east of Belgium, in Limburg and close to the Dutch border. Together with Neerpelt it forms the municipality of Pelt. The surroundings are typical of the Kempen region, with pine woods, heathland and quiet country roads. Most visitors come for business, for family, or for walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside. It is a small, calm place rather than a big-city destination.

Planning your arrival

Because the journey takes a little over an hour, it helps to have the full address in Overpelt ready when you book, so the driver can take you straight to the door. If you are travelling with a large group, a child seat requirement or bulky luggage, mention it in advance so the right vehicle is arranged. For a return journey to the airport, leave a comfortable margin before check-in, since the road back passes through the same busy approach to Zaventem.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without a long search through the terminal.
