Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Tilburg

The drive from Brussels Airport to Tilburg

The route covers 115 km (72 miles) and typically takes 1 h 23 m. It crosses from Flanders into the Dutch province of North Brabant. Travel on this corridor is usually smooth outside peak hours. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels and Antwerp can add time, so leave some margin if you have a train, a meeting or a hotel check-in to make. Tilburg is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice: one version takes up to 3 passengers, another up to 4. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. This suits business delegations, university groups, sports teams and wedding parties. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, pick the next size up so everyone has room.
