Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Rheindahlen

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage.

The Drive to Rheindahlen

The route covers 165 km (103 miles) and typically takes 1 h 52 m. It leads from Brussels Zaventem across the border into Germany and ends on the western side of Mönchengladbach. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so a private transfer is easy to arrange. The journey is mostly on main roads, which keeps the time fairly predictable. Still, allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, since heavy traffic, roadworks or poor weather can add to the trip. If you are travelling to a specific address, have it ready so your driver can plan the final stretch.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Group

Seven vehicle types are available, all private and bookable for the same route:

• Private Taxi: 1-4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: 1-8 passengers, a good choice for larger families or colleagues with luggage.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats: 1-16 passengers, for small tour groups and teams.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for groups of up to 24, 32, 40 or 48 passengers, such as school trips, clubs or company delegations travelling together.

Choose a vehicle based on both the number of people and the amount of luggage you bring.

About Rheindahlen and Where to Stay

Rheindahlen is a district in the west of Mönchengladbach, in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is best known as the site of the former British military headquarters, JHQ Rheindahlen, and it remains mainly residential. Visitors usually come to see family, for business, or to explore the wider Mönchengladbach area.

As a mostly residential district, Rheindahlen has few well-known hotels, so for accommodation it is safer to look at the nearby town of Mönchengladbach. Two established options there are:

• Dorint Parkhotel Mönchengladbach, a large hotel close to the city's green spaces.
• Hardter Mühle, a hotel in the Hardt area of Mönchengladbach.

Both are reachable by road from Rheindahlen in a short drive, and your driver can take you to either one directly.
