Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Rijswijk

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

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 go straight there after baggage reclaim.

The Drive from Zaventem to Rijswijk

The route covers 163 km (102 miles) and typically takes 1 h 49 m. Most of it is motorway, running from Belgium north into the Netherlands. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours, especially around Antwerp and on the approach to The Hague, where traffic can slow the final stretch. Bad weather and roadworks can also add minutes, so it is wise to leave a margin if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch.

Rijswijk is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Solo travellers, couples and small families usually fit well in a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Choose the larger option if you travel with several suitcases or a child seat. For bigger parties, private minibuses come with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits business delegations, school groups and wedding guests who want to arrive together. With a journey of nearly two hours, a bit of extra legroom and luggage space makes a real difference.
