Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Rumst

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you collect your luggage, so you can meet your driver without a long search through the terminal.

The Drive from BRU to Rumst

Rumst lies 33 km (21 miles) from the airport, and the trip normally takes about 27 minutes. The route leaves Zaventem and heads north-west towards the province of Antwerp. Rumst is a regularly booked destination, so drivers know the way well.

Traffic around Brussels and on the motorways towards Mechelen and Antwerp can slow things down at rush hour, typically on weekday mornings and late afternoons. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch, add some extra buffer to the 27 minutes. A private transfer lets you leave straight away, with no timetable to match.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) suits solo travellers, couples and small families with standard luggage.
• Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) gives a group of four a seat each.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats works for larger families or colleagues travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats fit mid-sized groups, such as company teams or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats are for large groups, such as tour parties, school trips and event delegations.

If you have bulky luggage, sports gear or a pram, it is often worth choosing the next size up for comfort.

About Rumst

Rumst is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, in the Flemish part of Belgium. It sits near the Rupel area and is closely linked to neighbouring Boom. The region is known for its long tradition of brick-making. Rumst is a quiet, mostly residential place, and it is well placed between Antwerp and Mechelen, which makes it a practical base for visiting family, working with local businesses or exploring the surrounding area.

Good to Know Before You Book
