Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Spijkenisse

Meeting Point at Brussels Zaventem

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go there directly and meet your driver without searching.

The Drive to Spijkenisse

The journey covers 151 km (94 miles) and typically takes 1 h 41 m. The route crosses the Belgian-Dutch border and ends south of Rotterdam, on the island of Voorne-Putten. Rush hours around Antwerp and Rotterdam can slow the trip, so allow some extra time if you have a connection, a hotel check-in or an appointment waiting. Spijkenisse is a town in South Holland, linked to Rotterdam by metro, and it is mostly residential with a busy shopping centre. It is a practical base for visiting the Rotterdam port area.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups with normal luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or groups with extra bags.
• Minibuses with 16 to 48 seats: for teams, tour groups and events, available in steps of 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 seats.

This route is booked less often than others, but it is available on request like every other transfer.

Where to Stay near Spijkenisse

I cannot name well-known, long-established hotels in Spijkenisse with confidence. The nearest big town, Rotterdam, offers several familiar options instead:

• Hotel New York, set in the former Holland America Line headquarters on the Maas waterfront.
• Hilton Rotterdam, a large international hotel in the city centre.
• Mainport Hotel, a design hotel by the river.

Public Transport Alternative
