Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Übach-Palenberg

The drive from BRU to Übach-Palenberg

The transfer covers 139 km (87 miles) and usually takes 1 h 36 m. The route leads east from Zaventem, across Belgium and over the border into Germany. Übach-Palenberg is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but it is available on request just like any other route. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, or in heavy rain or winter weather, as these can stretch the journey beyond the typical time.

Choosing the right vehicle

A Private Taxi suits individual travellers, couples and families of up to four. For larger parties there are minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so groups travelling together can stay in a single vehicle. Business teams, school trips and wedding parties often choose this option. When you book, pick the size that matches your passengers and their luggage, and choose the next size up if you carry bulky bags or equipment.

About Übach-Palenberg

Übach-Palenberg is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, close to the Dutch border and the Aachen region. It has a mining past and is made up of several districts, so it helps to give your driver the full street address rather than just the town name. The town is mainly residential and commercial, and many visitors come here for business or to see family.

Where to stay nearby

We cannot name long-established hotels in Übach-Palenberg itself with confidence. The nearest larger town with well-known accommodation is Aachen. Options there include:

• Pullman Aachen Quellenhof, a large hotel in the city's spa area
• Hotel Drei Könige, a traditional hotel in the old town centre
• Mercure Hotel Aachen am Dom, close to the cathedral

Check the distance to Übach-Palenberg before you book, and share the hotel address with us if your transfer should end in Aachen instead.
