Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Laureins-Berchem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Sint-Laureins-Berchem

The route covers 33 km (21 miles) and usually takes about 34 minutes by road. That figure assumes normal traffic. Belgian motorways around Brussels can slow down noticeably during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours. Roadworks and incidents can also add time. If you have a fixed appointment or a connection to catch at the other end, build in a comfortable buffer. This route is booked less often than the airport's main city routes, but it is available on request like any other. Your driver knows the way and will take the most sensible road for the time of day.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller groups are best served by a private taxi. There is a version for up to 3 passengers and one for up to 4, so a family with a couple of suitcases each should check how much luggage they are bringing before choosing. Larger parties can travel together in a private minibus. Minibuses are available with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits wedding parties, company groups, sports teams and extended families. Everyone arrives at the same door, and nobody has to coordinate several cars.

About Sint-Laureins-Berchem

Sint-Laureins-Berchem is a small place in Belgium. It is better known for its quiet, residential character than for sightseeing. Most visitors come to see family and friends, for local events, or for business in the surrounding area. Because it is a small locality, give the exact street name and house number when you book. That lets the driver go straight to your door instead of to a general area.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. Head there directly and look for your name on the sign.
