Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Strombeek

The drive from Brussels Airport to Strombeek

Strombeek lies 12 km (8 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes around 12 minutes. That makes it one of the shorter transfers from BRU, so you can be at your door soon after landing. This route is booked less often than some others, but it is available on request just like any other. Journey times on this stretch of road can stretch during the morning and evening rush hours, so if you have a tight connection or an early appointment, allow some extra time. Your driver follows the quickest route for the conditions on the day.

Which vehicle suits your group

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice. There are taxis for up to 3 passengers and for up to 4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and your luggage. Larger groups can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Minibuses suit business delegations, wedding guests, sports teams and school or club trips that want to arrive together instead of splitting across several cars. If you are close to the limit of a vehicle, remember to count suitcases as well as people, and choose the next size up if in doubt.

About Strombeek

Strombeek, usually known as Strombeek-Bever, is a residential area just north of Brussels and part of the municipality of Grimbergen in Flemish Brabant. It is a practical base for visitors with business or family in the northern suburbs, and the city centre of Brussels is within easy reach by road. The setting is quiet and suburban rather than a sightseeing destination. Before you travel, have the full street address ready, as it makes the final stretch of the drive quicker and easier.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can head there straight from baggage reclaim. Look for the sign with your name and your driver will take it from there.
