Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Schellebelle

The drive from Zaventem to Schellebelle

Schellebelle lies 52 km (32 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the typical driving time is 46 minutes. The journey leaves the airport area, crosses the Brussels ring road and continues west on the motorway network towards the Ghent region. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so a driver is arranged specifically for your arrival.

The ring road around Brussels is the main variable. In the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, or after an accident on the motorway, the trip can take noticeably longer than 46 minutes. If you have a connection or an appointment waiting at the other end, it is sensible to build in a buffer.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle you need depends on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers): suitable for individual travellers, couples, families and small business parties. Choose the 4-passenger option if you carry a lot of luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats and 16 Seats: a good fit for larger families, friends travelling together or small teams.
• Private Minibus 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: designed for tour groups, wedding parties, sports clubs and company outings arriving on the same flight.

If your group is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, or has bulky items such as musical instruments or sports gear, choose the next size up so everyone travels comfortably.

About Schellebelle

Schellebelle is a small village in the municipality of Wichelen in East Flanders. It lies along the river Scheldt, in a quiet, mostly rural and residential area between Wetteren and Ghent. Most visitors come to see family, attend a local event or reach a business in the surrounding region. A private transfer takes you directly to the address, which is particularly convenient in a village where onward public transport options are limited.
