Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Reet

The drive from Brussels Airport to Reet

Reet lies 33 km (21 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 27 minutes. The route heads north towards the province of Antwerp, so it mostly follows motorway before switching to local roads near the village. Weekday morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels and Antwerp can slow things down, so add a buffer if you have a tight appointment or a connection to make.

Choosing the right vehicle

This route is booked less often than the big city routes, but it is available on request like any other. The vehicle choice depends on group size:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, a good fit for solo travellers, couples and families with luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for small groups travelling together.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats for larger families, teams and company groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats for coach-sized groups, events and tour parties.

Choose a vehicle with some spare room if you carry bulky luggage, sports equipment or prams.

About Reet

Reet is a village in the municipality of Rumst, in the province of Antwerp. It is a mainly residential place with a quiet, local character, and it sits within easy reach of Antwerp and the towns along the Rupel area. Most visitors come to see family, to work with local businesses or to use it as a calmer base outside the city. Because it is a small village, tell the driver the exact street address when you book so the drop-off goes smoothly.

Places to stay near Reet

Reet itself is small, and I cannot name long-established hotels there with confidence. The nearest major city with a wide choice of accommodation is Antwerp. Well-known options there include the Hilton Antwerp Old Town in the historic centre and the Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel, close to Antwerp-Central station. If you are staying with friends or relatives in Reet, simply give the driver their address for a door-to-door drop-off.
