Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Schilde

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Schilde

The route from Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Schilde covers 54 km (34 miles) and typically takes around 42 minutes. It heads north towards the Antwerp area, so the last stretch runs through quieter residential roads. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Morning and late-afternoon rush hours around Brussels and Antwerp can slow traffic, and bad weather has the same effect. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make, it is sensible to add a buffer to the usual driving time.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage. For smaller parties there are two taxi options:

• Private Taxi for 1-3 passengers
• Private Taxi for 1-4 passengers

Larger groups, such as families with lots of baggage, wedding guests or company delegations, can choose a private minibus:

• Minibus with 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• Minibus with 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• Minibus with 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• Minibus with 32 seats for up to 32 passengers
• Minibus with 40 seats for up to 40 passengers
• Minibus with 48 seats for up to 48 passengers

If your group sits close to the limit of a vehicle, take the next size up so that everyone has room for their bags.

Schilde as a Destination

Schilde is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, in the Flemish Region of Belgium, a short distance east of the city of Antwerp. It is mainly a green, residential area with woodland and country estates nearby, so it is popular with people who want quiet surroundings while staying close to the city. Visitors usually come to see friends and family, to attend events, or for business in the wider Antwerp region. A private transfer takes you straight to your address, which is useful in a place where public connections from the airport are not simple.
