Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Sint-Margriete

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House inside Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there and meet your driver without searching the terminal.

The Drive to Sint-Margriete

The route covers 111 km (69 miles) and typically takes 1 h 19 m. Most of the journey is on motorway, heading north-west from Zaventem across Flanders towards the Dutch border. Sint-Margriete is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route, so it is best to arrange it ahead of your arrival.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, when traffic around Brussels and on the approach roads to Ghent can slow things down. Heavy rain or fog, which are common in this part of Belgium, can also add a few minutes. If you have a tight connection or an appointment on arrival, build in a small buffer.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The right vehicle depends mainly on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits individual travellers, couples, and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a good fit for larger families or small groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 or 24 Seats: for mid-sized groups, such as friends travelling together or wedding parties.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 or 48 Seats: for large groups, events, and organised tours.

If you are unsure, choose the next size up when you carry bulky luggage such as sports equipment or several large suitcases.

About Sint-Margriete

Sint-Margriete is a small village in East Flanders, close to the Dutch border. The surroundings are rural and flat, with polder landscape, farmland, and quiet roads. It is a calm place, so there is little through traffic once you leave the main routes. Because the village is small, it helps to have the exact street address ready for your driver, so the last stretch of the trip goes smoothly.
