Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Vinkem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Vinkem

Vinkem lies 150 km (94 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 37 m. The route leads west across Flanders towards the coast, so most of the journey is on motorway before the final stretch on local roads through flat farmland. Morning and late-afternoon traffic around Brussels and Ghent can slow things down, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment, a ferry or a dinner reservation at the other end.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and the driver tracks your arrival so you are not left waiting.

Meeting point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. It is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can head there straight from the baggage hall.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the practical choice: one version takes up to 3 passengers and another up to 4. If you travel with more luggage or a slightly larger party, the 8-seat minibus gives you extra room.

• Private Taxi: 1-3 or 1-4 passengers
• Minibus 8 or 16 seats: family gatherings, friends travelling together, small groups
• Minibus 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats: wedding parties, sports teams, company outings and larger tour groups

Since Vinkem is a quiet village, it is worth telling us in advance if you have bulky items such as sports gear, so we can match the vehicle to your luggage as well as your headcount.

About Vinkem

Vinkem is a small village in the Veurne area of West Flanders, set in the polder landscape close to the Belgian coast and the French border. It is a calm, rural place, and visitors usually combine it with trips to nearby Veurne, Nieuwpoort or De Panne. Because the village is small, it helps to give your driver the exact street address or the name of your accommodation when you book, so the drop-off is smooth at the end of the journey.
