Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Steenwijk

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Steenwijk

Steenwijk lies 289 km (180 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the journey normally takes around 3 h 7 m. The route crosses the Belgian border and continues north through the Netherlands to the province of Overijssel. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, when traffic around Brussels, Antwerp and the larger Dutch cities can slow the journey. Heavy rain or winter weather can also add time, so it is sensible not to schedule a tight appointment right after arrival.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with a choice of 1-3 passengers or 1-4 passengers. Groups of up to eight people can travel together in the 8-seat minibus, which leaves more room for suitcases on a three-hour trip. Larger parties can choose from minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. These suit family gatherings, sports teams, school trips and company groups. Please tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you request the transfer, so that we can match the vehicle to your plans.
