Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Rheine

The drive from Brussels Airport to Rheine

The transfer covers 337 km (210 miles) and typically takes 3 h 43 m. The route leaves Belgium and continues across the border into Germany, ending in the north of North Rhine-Westphalia. Because this is a long road journey, it is worth adding a buffer if you travel during rush hour around Brussels or on a Friday afternoon, when motorway traffic tends to build up. A private transfer means you do not have to plan around train changes with luggage, and the vehicle takes you directly to your address in Rheine.

Choosing the right vehicle

Rheine is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request like any other route. For one to four passengers, the Private Taxi is the simplest option. Larger parties can choose a private minibus:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers, suitable for a family with plenty of suitcases
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for larger groups such as teams, tour parties or company delegations

On a trip of almost four hours, a little extra space is worth having, so choose the next size up if your group carries a lot of luggage.

Rheine and where to stay

Rheine is a town on the river Ems in the Münsterland region, close to the border with Lower Saxony. It is a mid-sized place with a historic centre and a well-known railway junction, and it is often used as a base for visits to the surrounding countryside. Hotel choice in the town itself is fairly limited, and I cannot name specific long-established hotels there with confidence. Many visitors therefore look at the larger city of Münster, to the south of Rheine, which has several well-known hotels:

• Hotel Kaiserhof, located near the main railway station
• Mövenpick Hotel Münster, a larger business and conference hotel
• Factory Hotel, a modern hotel in a converted industrial building

If you book accommodation in Münster, tell us your exact drop-off address when you reserve so the transfer can be arranged accordingly.
