Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Poppel

The drive from Zaventem to Poppel

Poppel lies 101 km (63 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive usually takes about 1 h 16 m. The route heads north-east across Flanders towards the Dutch border. It is a less frequently booked transfer, so it is arranged on request, and your driver plans it just for your arrival.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour. Traffic around Brussels and on the main roads towards Antwerp province can be slow then. Bad weather can also add minutes, so avoid fixing a tight appointment right after landing.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and your luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good fit for larger families or friends travelling with more bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for tour groups, school trips, teams and events. Every size seats from one passenger up to its maximum.

If you are unsure, pick the larger option when you carry bulky items such as sports gear or prams.

About Poppel

Poppel is a small village in the Kempen region of Antwerp province, part of the municipality of Ravels. It sits right on the border with the Netherlands. The landscape is flat and green, with woods, heath and quiet country roads. Visitors usually come for the countryside, for cycling and walking, or to visit family and business contacts in the area. It is a calm place, so a door-to-door transfer is often much simpler than piecing together a trip on local roads.
