Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vertrijk

The Drive from Brussels Airport to Vertrijk

The route covers 33 km (21 miles) and usually takes around 23 minutes. Vertrijk lies east of the airport in Flemish Brabant, so you travel away from central Brussels and avoid most of the city traffic. Weekday rush hours around the Brussels ring and the Leuven area can slow things down, so allow some extra time if you have a tight appointment or a connection waiting for you at the other end.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there without searching the arrivals hall.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Vertrijk is a less frequently requested destination, but every vehicle in the fleet is available on request. The options are:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and small families with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good fit for larger families or a group of friends with several suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: well suited to wedding parties, company teams, and club or school groups.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for large delegations or event groups who want to arrive together in one vehicle.

If your group is close to a vehicle's limit, pick the next size up so everyone has room for luggage.

About Vertrijk

Vertrijk is a small village in the municipality of Boutersem, in the Flemish Brabant countryside between Leuven and Tienen. It is a quiet, rural place with farmland and village lanes rather than major sights, which makes it a calm base for visiting family or for a stay away from the city bustle. Leuven, with its historic centre and university, is a short drive away.

Places to Stay Near Vertrijk

Vertrijk itself is very small, so for hotels it is easier to look at the nearest larger town, Leuven. Two well-known options there are:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel: a hotel in a converted historic building in Leuven's centre.
• Leuven Marriott Hotel: a larger international hotel close to the town centre and the railway station.

Your driver can drop you at either address, or at a private address in Vertrijk, if you give the exact location when booking.
