Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Gillis-Bij-Dendermonde

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Sint-Gillis-Bij-Dendermonde

The route covers 38 km (24 miles) and typically takes around 49 minutes. The journey leads from the airport area northwest towards East Flanders, mostly on motorways before ending on local roads. Brussels' ring road and the main routes towards Ghent and Antwerp can slow down considerably during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is sensible to allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection at the other end. Rain, roadworks and Friday evening traffic can also add to the usual driving time.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other transfer, and the trip is a straightforward door-to-door ride without changes or waiting for timetables.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or (1-4 passengers): suited to individual travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: designed for tour groups, wedding parties, company outings and other large gatherings heading to the area together.

If your party is close to the upper limit of a vehicle, or you carry bulky items such as strollers or sports equipment, choosing the next size up gives everyone more room.
