Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Thon Hotel Brussels City Centre

The drive into the city

The transfer from Brussels Zaventem Airport to Thon Hotel Brussels City Centre covers about 15 km (10 miles) and normally takes around 22 minutes. This is an occasionally booked route, so your driver is arranged specifically for your arrival. Traffic on the roads between the airport and central Brussels can build up during the morning and late-afternoon rush hours, so it is sensible to allow a little extra time if you have a tight schedule after arrival.

Meeting point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House 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.

Choosing the right vehicle

Small groups are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option gives a bit more room for a family or for travellers with several suitcases. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats, so a business delegation, a school trip or a wedding party can arrive together in a single vehicle rather than split across several cars.

• 1-3 or 1-4 travellers: private taxi
• 5-8 travellers: private minibus with 8 seats
• 9 or more travellers: a minibus from 16 up to 64 seats, matched to your group size
