Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vilvoorde

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

The Drive from BRU to Vilvoorde

Vilvoorde lies just north of the airport, so this is one of the shorter transfers you can book from Zaventem. The distance is 8 km (5 miles) and the typical driving time is 13 minutes. Traffic around the Brussels ring and the roads towards Vilvoorde can slow down at weekday morning and late-afternoon rush hours. If you have a meeting, a train or a check-in time to meet, it is sensible to leave a little extra margin at those times. Because the route is occasionally booked rather than a daily favourite, it is worth reserving in advance so a suitable vehicle is ready for your arrival.

Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

For individual travellers, couples and small families, a Private Taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 option gives a bit more room when everyone has a suitcase. Larger parties can choose a private minibus:

• Minibus 8 Seats: a family group or colleagues travelling together
• Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: sports teams, wedding parties or small tour groups
• Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: conference delegations, school trips and coach-sized groups

Pick the size by the number of passengers plus how much luggage you bring. A vehicle with spare seats is more comfortable for bags.

About Vilvoorde

Vilvoorde is a Flemish city in Flemish Brabant, immediately north of Brussels. It is crossed by the Brussels-Scheldt maritime canal and the river Senne (Zenne). It is a practical base for visitors with business in the northern Brussels area, and it is known historically as the place where the English Bible translator William Tyndale died in 1536. Since the distance from the airport is short, you can be at your address soon after leaving the terminal.
