Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Lievens-Houtem

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can walk straight over without searching the arrivals hall.

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Sint-Lievens-Houtem

The journey covers 52 km (32 miles) and typically takes around 41 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, and the driver will be arranged specifically for your arrival. Most of the trip leads west out of the Brussels area and into the quieter countryside of East Flanders.

The stated time reflects normal conditions. Weekday morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip, so if you have a fixed appointment or a tight connection at the other end, it makes sense to build in a little extra margin. Roadworks and bad weather can also add minutes, particularly in winter.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle you pick depends mainly on group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suitable for solo travellers, couples, small families and business travellers. Choose the four-passenger option if you carry extra bags.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or friends travelling together with suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: practical for wedding parties, sports teams and company groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: intended for large groups, events and organised tours that want to arrive together in one vehicle.

If your group sits right at the limit of a vehicle, or you have bulky items such as sports equipment or prams, selecting the next size up makes the ride more comfortable.

About Sint-Lievens-Houtem

Sint-Lievens-Houtem is a small municipality in the Flemish province of East Flanders. It is a rural, village-style destination rather than a major urban centre, with farmland, quiet roads and a calm pace that contrasts with the busy airport area. Visitors usually come to see family, attend local events or work at businesses in the surrounding region. A private transfer is a convenient way to reach it, since a door-to-door ride avoids planning around local connections.
